..environment..

All life depends on a healthy planet but the interwoven systems of atmosphere, oceans, watercourses, land, ice cover and biosphere which form the natural environment are threatened by human activities. Moreover, while a fragile environment becomes more vulnerable to natural disasters, the natural disasters also degrade the environment in a pernicious circle of causes and effects.

A variety of environmental problems now affect our entire world. As globalization continues and the earth's natural processes transform local problems into international issues, few societies are being left untouched by major environmental problems.

Changing in the environment will affect people in different parts of the world in unique ways. In many cases, it is nearly impossible to predict what these statistics will mean for the future. As new problems arise and old ones intermix, the world will experience processes that it has never felt before.

The natural environment suffers, for example, from lack of precipitation for extended periods and uncontrolled land use, leading to desertification. It is estimated that one-third of the Earth’s surface and one-fifth of the world’s population are threatened by desertification.

Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is a process which enables all people to realize their potential and to improve their quality of life in ways which simultaneously protect and enhance the earth’s life support systems. Environment sustainability is a very important topic as it is for our future generations which should be made a top priority. So do concern to the environment. Live life to the green..
