Currently, environmental issues are attracting the attention of the whole world. The earth, which is our common home, is being seriously polluted because of the large-scale mining and production activities of the period of modernization, industrialization, the era of consumer society, and population growth. rapidly spiraling out of control, environmental pollution and its harmful effects on human life are getting heavier and heavier. Therefore, protecting the green - clean - beautiful environment is the duty of everyone in the world.
Everyone knows that the environment has a great meaning and is extremely important to humans. Humans cannot exist apart from the environment. Everything that people have is taken from the environment: air to breathe, food, water, arable land, land to build houses, factories, factories, hospitals, schools... and materials to produce means of working and learning. From the seemingly ordinary, the smallest things to the most precious possessions, all are given to us by nature. Even the products we call “artificial” are derived from nature. The environment is a condition for the survival and development of human society. Humans are part of the biological community of the natural world.
The environment is familiar and close to us as close friends in life. But for the immediate benefit, people have treated the environment badly, even deliberately destroying the environment without knowing that doing so is destroying their own lives.
Environmental pollution is happening in Vietnam and all over the world. The environment is getting worse and worse: contaminated land becomes dead land; contaminated river water becomes a source of disease; The mountains and forests are devastated, the phenomenon of storms and floods occurs abnormally, the air is full of toxic substances and the temperature of the Earth is warming up.
There are many causes of environmental pollution. First, due to the low level of human understanding. Because of selfishness and self-interest, there is no sense of environmental protection, even deliberately destroying the environment. Next is the overexploitation of nature, an irresponsible consumption lifestyle with the environment and the community, and a lack of synchronization in the trend of industrialization and modernization. For example, the construction of a factory without building a waste and emission treatment area; lack of attention to balance, environmental friendliness to ensure long-term and sustainable development…
Actions that cause environmental pollution are manifold and at various levels, from mild to severe, even serious. In our country, indiscriminate deforestation is caused by the habit of burning forests for farming and expanding land. Long-standing cultivation of the mountainous people. The interests of individuals or the profits of enterprises exploiting forest products are very large, leading to deforestation, mountain landslides, flash floods, floods... causing catastrophic consequences.
In rural areas, farmers now use chemicals very arbitrarily. Toxic chemicals seep into the ground, contaminating water sources. Fishermen in many places catch seafood with explosives and trawl nets, which deplete long-term resources. In big cities, cars and motorbikes emit dust, causing noise, adversely affecting people's health.
