About this ebook
All human beings need fresh air, clean water and balanced healthy foods that grow from fertile soils. There is nothing quite good like breathing fresh air always, drinking clean water and eating healthy food always. But how fresh is the air you are breathing right now? How clean is the water you are drinking now? And how balanced and healthy is the food you are eating now? There is no real way of knowing.
The gases you are sucking up through your nose could be slowly killing you. The water you are drinking could be a source of slow poison for you. The food you are eating could endanger your life with cancer and other forms of terminal diseases. All the causes of serious health problems did not get into the air you breathe in, the water you drink and the food you eat in just one day or by chance. These problems are some of the outcomes of human activities through exploration, production and provision of services which emit large amounts of toxic and non-toxic greenhouse gases and pollutants to the air, water and soil.
What are the different ways in which greenhouse gases are being released to the atmosphere? What activities are responsible for pollution? How can you prevent, reduce or avoid the adverse effects of pollution and the increasing disasters caused by global warming? Are there better waste disposal/management methods and clean energy options that can be embraced for a better healthy living and in a clean environment?
This book is divided into four sections with pictorial illustrations. Section one covers the introduction and some facts which support the occurrence and the need for natural global warming. Section two discusses global warming, the causes, effects on humans and the environment and the measures to reduce it. In section three, introduction to pollution, types, causes, effects and alleviating measures are discussed. Finally, section four discusses wastes disposal management methods and renewable clean energy sources.
All the topics are carefully covered to educate, to inform and to enhance the knowledge of the readers about these ever increasing world problems namely global warming and pollution. Also practical and urgent actions (required by individual, groups, organization and the government) are discussed in the book to help readers prevent, reduce or control the causes and the bad effects of greenhouse gases and pollution.
