Center Policy:

Environment-related concepts or terminology must be known to grasp environmental issues. mainly:

Ecology

Modern man's awareness of the environmental devastation caused by the arrogance, naivete, and selfishness of modern civilization led to the emergence of culture and (environmental) currents calling for its limitation and the dissemination of concepts, ideas, and culture of respecting and defending the environment. It's one of the topic's key first ideas. Ernest Haeckel deduced it in 1866 from two Greek words: Oikes, meaning residence, medium, or environment, and Logos, meaning science. It's the study of how organisms interact with their surroundings. It studies living organisms' nutrition, lifestyles, and social presence. It also studies climate (temperature, humidity, radiation, water and air gases) and the physical and chemical qualities of land, water and air.

Environmental Pollution

All the harm the environment (physical existence) can inflict on human health, physically and psychologically. Inhaling toxic air and odors, drinking dangerous drinks, hearing harmful noises, witnessing bad sceneries, and touching harmful chemicals are all ways the environment can cause physical-psychological suffering. This injury to the human body and soul is created by the environment's distortion and natural imbalance (climate-terrestrial-vegetal-animal), which leads to polluting substances and harmful objects. Their mishaps cause injuries and deaths, toxic smoke, noise, and crowding. Modern agriculture based on sterilizers and chemical antibiotics, despite its efficacy in battling plant diseases and improving yields, pollutes nature, poisons man, weakens his immune, and causes him myriad maladies such as allergies, sterility, and others...so on in all areas.

Sustainability

"Development" involves employing land and other resources to improve living and meet needs. "Sustainable" suggests that "development" must consider future generations' right to access resources and development conditions, i.e., it's permanent rather than temporary. Sustainable development respects societal demands and environmental conditions, not just economic profits, and guarantees future generations' right to live well. The greatest example of the world's poor development process, not its justice and brutality against humans and the environment, is that the people of the major industrialized countries make up 20% of the world's population but consume 80% of its natural wealth and are responsible for 80% of its pollution.

Alternative Energy

Clean, sustainable power for people and the planet can be generated from renewable resources, including the sun, wind, water, and other natural elements. Environmentally and humanely safe, renewable energy sources are steadily growing in popularity. While oil's use in the energy industry may seem beneficial initially, it has long-term adverse effects on the planet and its inhabitants.

Sustainable Tourism

Meaningful tourism not only seeks the tourist's enjoyment but also introduces him to the local nature and culture while minimizing negative impacts on the environment, residents' privacy, and the dignity of society as a whole. It's the polar opposite of tourism, that's motivated by money and builds enormous tourist complexes that destroy natural habitats, poison water supplies, and reduce locals to commodities while commercializing their history and culture.

Recently, three or fewer (grades) of food have been sold, mainly in developed countries: commercial, natural, and organic (sometimes translated as organic). In a nutshell, commercial foods are all the well-known foods that are currently prevalent in global markets, and their industry relies heavily on chemicals, beginning with the raw materials (vegetables, fruits, and meat) made from them, which are cultivated and domesticated using the most cutting-edge chemical methods, such as pesticides, fertilizers, vaccines, genes, and antibiotics. Natural foods, on the other hand, are similar to commercial foods in that they are prepared using chemically and artificially domesticated raw materials (vegetables, fruits, and meat), but they are considered (natural) because they are not subjected to deceptive chemical and artificial influences of colors, flavors, and others. You can get candies that are made entirely of sugar and fruit derivatives, with no odors, flavors, stabilizers, or dyes added (all of which are poisons designed to mislead the consumer and increase his appetite for sweets without regard for the body's health). Not to mention fowl and egg. Chickens are given access to the outdoors, healthy diets, and enough of space to grow and reproduce in natural environments, rather than being crammed together with thousands of other birds in dark, suffocating poultry houses.

Dietary supplements derived from living organisms: This dish has no artificial ingredients. Even if the fruits and sugar used to make this candy were not grown using organic methods, but rather the commercial method—with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other substances—their presence in the plants inevitably makes their way into the final product, making it far from natural. Plants used to make the (biological candy) must be grown in a chemical-free environment because they contain only natural ingredients. Consider a second illustration: The demands of free-range hens, such as access to sunlight, fresh air, and ample rest time, are met in specially designed coops. Pesticides and antibiotics are still commonly added to chicken feed by farmers in an effort to boost productivity and decrease the likelihood of disease. Because of this, those using these substances and medications won't know what they're getting. Wellness comes from a chemical- and antibiotic-free environment, which is what natural chicken coops provide. Cost increases can be seen in three food categories:

Commercial food is cheap because it's easy to make, market, and attract people, and it uses industrial chemicals to increase taste, flavor, and color.

Natural food is more expensive than commercial food because it lacks industrial additives and preservatives.

Bio-food is the most expensive since its raw ingredients (plants) are developed and domesticated naturally.

(Natural and biological products) no longer comprise only food, but also clothes, cosmetics, cleaning powders, furniture, cars, fuel, and other things that affect man's health and environment. Yes, two centuries of pollution and poisoning of the environment exceeded thousands of years of human civilization.

Environmental Problems

Problems in the natural world can be traced back in part to the way humans have changed their interactions with nature. An ever-increasing human population is one of the most pressing challenges facing countries on the rise. This issue creates difficulties for people. The rising population devours environmental advancements in the industry, agriculture, commerce, education, society, and more. Furthermore, production rates are low in comparison to consumption rates.

The Threat of Losing Biodiversity:

Microorganisms, animals, and plants are all included. Natural resources include anything from land plants to watery critters to flying birds. There are numerous causes for the extinction of many species, such as

Faulty Methods of Agriculture.

Many creatures, especially birds, are threatened by man-made barriers such as electricity and sea beacons.

Damage to wetlands that were once utilized for farming and were home to fish and birds.

Overfishing, and fishing itself is a widely enjoyed pastime.

Dangerous insecticides also kill people and birds.

Natural grasslands are ruined by overgrazing.

Methods include tank cleaning, releasing tainted water into the ocean, and explosive petroleum detection.

In this case, We must reject all these methods to protect ecological or biological diversity. If we take a more scientific and realistic look at the concept of pollution, we see that it entails altering the environment surrounding living species as a result of human action and daily activities, resulting in the formation of some resources that do not match properly Fertilizer can be made from animal excrement, but dumping it in sewers might cause disease to spread. Pollutants of all kinds, which we will detail below, have their origins in human activity and contribute to environmental degradation.

Man = industrialization, development in technology, waste of resources, and population growth..

Types of Environmental Pollution:

Pollution is the introduction of materials into an ecosystem that do not belong there as a result of human activity and daily tasks.

Smog:

Toxic emissions Each year, 50,000 lives are lost due to air pollution ( 2% of all deaths). Cigarette and tobacco use is a major cause of death worldwide, accounting for 3 million deaths annually and perhaps another 10 million deaths over the next four decades. When we talk about air pollution, we're referring to harmful pollutants that float through the atmosphere. Natural sources, including dust and human activity, are potential contributors to air pollution. Second, there are anthropogenic sources from the industrial sector. Instead of simplifying and cleaning up his life, his inventions have made it more complicated and unpleasant.

Fuel-powered vehicles and generators. Some produce toxic gases or tiny particles that pollute the air. Major industrial hubs and poor countries that lack the resources to control pollution are among the world's most polluted places.
