The Solution to Pollution - Sustainable Power
The World Health Organization, The U.N., and
governments from all over the world are now concerned with pollution.
You hear celebrities calling a call to arms, to unite against pollution.
A media frenzy on how polluted the whole planet is the event of the
decade.
Pollution causes instability, discomfort, disorder and harm the
environment and the people living in it. There are many kinds of
pollutants it could be noise, energy, light, heat, and worst chemical.
Sources Of Pollution
There are two kinds of pollution source; the point source pollution or
the non point source pollution. Point source pollution is aptly named
because the source is readily identifiable and may be singled out.
Usually a point source only affects only a single span of area or space
while the non point source will affect a larger area. Non point
pollution usually affects water bodies. It’s so severe that nothing will
be able to reverse the damaging effects.
A History Of Pollution
If you believe that reverting to a “traditional” way of life will reduce
or at least slow down the effects of pollution then you’re wrong. The
moment fire was discovered, and metal grinding was used pollution
ensued. Even human wastes probably some polluted areas since the
Paleolithic times, its just that at that time nature dwarfs human
actions giving it a period to recover.
Pollution gradually increases as humanity evolves and society develops.
In fact glacier slices in Greenland show pollution in connection with
the ancient Mesopotamian, Greek, roman and Chinese era. A closer study
showed that pollution increases with the rise in the utilization of
metals. With the decline of any human social progress the middle ages
showed a slow pollution progress; although, pollution was generally
concentrated in pocketed areas like cities.
The gradual increase of populations and the widespread use of industrial
processes saw the materialization of a civilization that is slowly but
surely creating a negative impact on nature. It was inevitable that
pollution would get so severe that people would finally notice that the
environment is slowly degenerating. The industrial revolution paved the
way for total environmental pollution as we know it today
A Declaration
Unknown to a lot of people, the issue of pollution is not one that’s
been discovered during the 19th century. During the 9th towards the 13th
century Arabic writings regarding pollution were already prevalent.
The first medium of action in which the western society first notice was
so basic and simple that it is literally all around us: air. Pollution
as a cause became popular towards the end of world war II when the
effects of atomic testing and the atomic bomb became undeniable
destructive. In 1952 great smog descended upon London prompting the
death of more than 8,000 people. This event precipitated legislations
sanctioning the use of coals and other polluting energy resources
prevalent in those days.
Over time, the growing pollution made people realize that the main cause
of nature’s demise is our relentless use of energy. This gave rise to
environmentalism and the quest for sustainable power. Energy is an
integral part of the human world. We cannot live without energy; our
very existence depends upon it. That is why it is imperative that we
find alternate energy resources that will never be exhausted and will
not harm the environment as time goes by.
