Global Natural Environmental Issues and methods to help it

A list of Global Natural Environmental Issues:

Global Natural Environmental Issues
Issues	Causes and Effects
Air pollution	factories, power stations and cars pollute the air; acid rain; trees are damaged
Pollution of the sea	industrial waste sewage is dumped in the sea; wildlife is killed
Global Warming	gases from cars and power stations; green house effect; the Earth becomes warmer; climate changes; sea level rises
Destruction of  rainforest	trees are cut down; species become extinct; increase greenhouse effect
Nuclear power	nuclear accidents; radioactive material escapes into the atmosphere; may cause cancer.

Obviously,currently the environment is so much contaminated that urgent measures should be taken. The single individual cannot be blamed for the world pollution, however every person should take care of his or her habitat. Actually, some basic things you can do to help natural environment, like:

Cars are getting bigger such as large jeep and truck which are now the most popular new cars in the United States. Bigger vehicles burn more gas and increase problems with acid rain and air pollution. So try to walk, bicycle, or use public transportation. And if you drive a car, keep it tuned up. They can save gas and reduce pollution.	The biggest use of home energy is for heating and cooling. So turn up your air conditioner and turn down the heat, especially at night. Replace regular light bulbs with fluorescent bulbs, which use less energy. And remember to turn lights off.
Each American throws away an average of 10 kilograms of trash every day. Most of that trash goes into landfills. Reduce waste before you buy by asking yourself: Do I need the item? Buy products that you can use over and over again. If you use disposable products, choose those made from recycled materials.	Showers use a lot of water. In one week, a typical American family uses as much water as a person drinks in three years! Buy a special “low-flow” showerhead or take sorter showers. This can cut water use in half. Also, fix any leaky faucets.
