Essay On Pollution And Recycling
Introduction
Pollution is one of the most serious problems we suffer, and it
gets worse every day. It is the cause of seven million deaths a
year, the disappearance of various species, the deterioration of
the health of many people, the global dimming and the recharge
of aquifers, among many other things. And all this seems not to
be enough to make the rulers take effective measures to stop
this reality. Unfortunately, they only act when alerts are
triggered because weather conditions or polluting emissions have
caused a pollution spike; and, once those alerts disappear, all
the provisions are undone.
Pollution of the seas and oceans is a serious problem that
directly affects wildlife in ocean habitats and, indirectly,
human health. Oil spills, toxic waste, illegal dumping, and
plastic buildup are just a few of the many sources of pollution.
In this sense, environmental awareness and education programs
play a vital role in combating the deterioration of ocean
environments.

Unfortunately, marine birds and mammals are unable to prevent
the damage that occurs after an oil spill. The oil covers their
skin, their feathers and their legs, immobilizing them until
death. Also, some fish are curious about oil and ingest it
thinking it might be food. Marine mammals, such as seals and
dolphins, swim and feed near the oil spills attracted by the
schools of fish that gather there. In this way, oil is
incorporated into the food chain and can reach people, affecting
human health.
When ingested, the oil damages the airways of mammals and birds,
leading to congestion, pneumonia, emphysema, and even death. In
addition,

by
deteriorating their feathers and in seal pups by destroying
their skin insulation. Birds and marine mammals become easy prey
when covered in oil, causing its damaging effects to spread
rapidly up the food chain.
Recycling is a useful tool product of responsible awareness,
which provides us with an idea of how to contribute and
contribute that grain of sand to the construction of a better
world, a world where the environment is respected and helped to
preserve it.
These are some of the beneficial effects of recycling:
 It allows you to save energy significantly. It is less expensive to recycle a material than
to make it from scratch, as is the case with glass, for example.

Recycling helps to avoid the exploitation of natural resources. Recycling makes it
possible for the original materials to be reused with a new use, without having to reuse
natural resources to manufacture them.
Methods of extracting natural resources, which are invasive and polluting, are avoided.
Recycling allows not to subtract new raw material for manufacturing and the existing
material can simply be recycled.
Pollution is reduced, providing a cleaner atmosphere. By recycling we help reduce the
damage produced to the environment.
The environment is conserved as it reduces the amount of solid waste that reaches
landfills. This makes it possible for landfills to occupy less space and can even close,
avoiding the negative impact they cause on the environment.
Conclusions
Environmental pollution increasingly deteriorates our planet and
ourselves because according to research, breathing polluted air
affects our cardiovascular health, so strict standards of clean
air would contribute to better health with large-scale effects.
Recycling is very important for the preservation of the
environment. When you recycle you get several advantages;
Recycling avoids the waste of raw materials and non-renewable
resources, it also saves energy, and pollution is avoided.
