1
Climate Care
  • What cause Earth Pollution and how to decrease it.

2
Climate Care
  • Pollution refers to introduction of elements to
    the ecosystem that can cause harm to the various
    components of the environment in one way or
    another .
  • Land, air and water pollution are the major
    environmental hazards that poses great danger to
    both human and animal health.

3
Land Pollution
  • This is caused by release of harmful materials
    into the land. This waste includes domestic
    waste, municipal waste and non-biodegradable
    materials such as plastics. These materials make
    the land unsuitable for various economic
    activities such as agriculture.

4
Land Pollution
  • Cutting the trees can cause also land pollution.
    Land cant afford new trees because of polluted
    water, air and itself.
  • There are a lot of companies which are protecting
    amazon cut down and there are lots of campaigns
    how to use paper effectively, how to protect
    amazon cut down etc

Air Pollution
  • Land Pollution can also cause of air pollution.
  • What can cause air pollution?
  • Reduce of trees
  • Fuel combustion
  • Industrial
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Smoking
  • Earth pollution is the major environmental
    hazards that poses great danger to both human and
    animal health.

Water Pollution
  • Dirty water is the world's biggest health risk,
    and continues to threaten both quality of life
    and public health in the United States. When
    water from rain and melting snow runs off roofs
    and roads into our rivers, it picks up toxic
    chemicals, dirt, trash and disease-carrying
    organisms along the way. Many of our water
    resources also lack basic protections, making
    them vulnerable to pollution from factory farms,
    industrial plants, and activities like fracking.
    This can lead to drinking water contamination,
    habitat degradation and beach closures.

12
Water Pollution
  • Human activities are contaminating the worlds
    water systems and disrupting the lives of
    animals. From toxic chemical runoff  to the
    accumulation of litter miles away from land, here
    are five ways water pollution is killing animals
  • More Than a Million Sea Birds and Mammals Are
    Killed Each Year By Ingestion of Plastic
  • Chemical Runoff  From Farms Has Caused 400 Dead
    Zones Around the World
  • Cruise Ships Dump More Than 250,000 Gallons of
    Wastewater and Sewage Every Day
  • Acid Rain Discharges Toxic Amounts of Aluminum
    into the Water Systems

How to decrease Earth pollution
  • DO NOT pour fat from cooking or any other type of
    fat, oil, or grease down the sink.  Keep a fat
    jar under the sink to collect the fat and
    discard in the solid waste when full.
  • DO NOT dispose of household chemicals or cleaning
    agents down the sink or toilet.  Simsbury has a 
    Hazardous Waste Collection day usually from 800
    a.m to 100 p.m. at Henry James School.
  • DO NOT flush pills, liquid or powder medications
    or drugs down the toilet.  For recommendations on
    proper disposal for all types of medical wastes.

15
How to decrease Earth pollution
  • Run the dishwasher or clothes washer only when
    you have a full load.  This conserves electricity
    and water.
  • Use the minimum amount of detergent and/or bleach
    when you are washing clothes or dishes.  Use only
    phosphate free soaps and detergents.
  • Avoid using a garbage disposal.  Keep solid
    wastes solid.  Make a compost pile from vegetable
    scraps.

16
How to decrease Earth pollution
  • Switch to green energy suppliers
  • Where possible use video conferencing or
    telephone.Plan ahead and combine trips
  • Use public transport,it can often provide extra
    valuable working time.
  • Ensure heating is on at the right level and not
    too hot so people will have to open windows
  • Make sure heating does not come on unneccessarily
    in an empty building.
