Environmental sustainability is the ability of individual, Government and group of people to develop policy that can used to make the environment a place to call home.But if we look at the activity of man on earth,it has destroyed this policy and thereby causing harm to man and other organism staying on the earth surface. Below are some of the problems caused by the inability of man to sustain his environment.
1. Outbreak of disease:- If we refuse to take proper care of our environment,it will lead to outbreak of diseases like cholera, diarrhea and dysentery. If this problem is not properly managed ,it may lead to death.
2.Erosion:- This is the washing away of the uppermost part of the soil .The effect of erosion can be reduced if we develop the proper way of disposing refuse in the right place.
3. Flooding:- /This is very bad because it has taken many lives in this country.Flooding is caused as a result of we not allowing water to follow the normal channel it is supposed to to flow through and this is as a result of building on the water ways or water channels.
4. Ozone depletion:- This is normally caused as a result of man's activities on earth,especially when tree are being cut down by man in the forest without replacing it. The effect of this problem is that at times it leads to desert encroachment or desertification.
5. Pollution:- This, also, makes the environment in-conducive for man to live,because this problem always lead to water pollution or air pollution which leads to breathing problem and so on.
Some solutions to the problems:
1. Through regular cleaning of our environment:- This can be done if we partake in cleaning our environment daily and participating in the weekly or monthly sanitation exercise. This will help to reduce the effect of soil erosion and other environmental hazards that lead to untimely death.
2. Erecting building in the proper place but not on water channels. this can be done by getting a proper approved plan before building in order to avoid flooding.
3. Planting of trees:- This will encourage people to stay in a particular place;if the environment is not conducive,people will not like to stay in such a environment.
4. Disposing the refuse at the proper place:- When refuse are kept in the proper place,it will reduce some of the problems mentioned above.
