Global Warming Environment

Enumerated below are a few of the top 10 environmental issues in China that pose the greatest threat to the ecology of this country and surrounding regions. Take a look, learn a lesson and be afraid as this could happen to the whole world if humanity continues violating nature the same way as it has been doing since centuries.

Air Pollution
After being touted as the most populous country of the world, China, it seems, is headed towards bagging the Most Polluted Country of the World title. No offense meant, but the way the nitrogen dioxide levels are increasing in the air (thanks to a virulent propagation of power plants, heavy industries and vehicular traffic), it wouldn’t come across as a shock if more people in China succumb to breathing air than smoking cigarettes. Air pollution is perhaps the chief environmental problem China is facing today.

Desertification
If the recent expansion in the Gobi desert’s surface area by over 900 square miles doesn’t set off the alarm, then I don’t know what else would! Rapid industrialization at a ruthless pace has led to the recession of rivers and natural water sources so much so that areas which used to be annually flooded are now nearly dry. This is a direct result of erecting various dams and tampering with the natural flow of rivers for purpose of furthering the interests of industrialization and for accommodating the ever-increasing agricultural needs owing to the ever exploding population.

Water Shortage
All things in nature is interlinked with each other. When one aspect or natural resource gets affected, the vibrations are felt by everything else. Drying up of ground water and desertification are the diseases that are symptomized by water stress and supply shortage.

Electronic Waste Accumulation
When it comes to being the dumping ground of electronic waste, China tops the chart. It is believed that approximately one million tons of electronic waste is shipped to the Guangdong province, making China the highest e-waste recipient. Curious to know where a major chunk of this waste is shipped from? United States, Canada, South Korea and Japan.

Climate Changes
Abnormal climatic shifts is a global environmental issue. Drastic climate change, as a result of air, water and soil pollution, is threatening the ecological balance of this country and its surrounding regions. China ranks as one of the largest green house gas emitters in the world, what with its indiscriminate pace of industrialization and the ever-increasing vehicular traffic leaving behind noxious carbon footprints of catastrophic proportions.

There are many ways for people to make money now.Well,I just want to share my experience with you in the following words.Although I am still a college student,I  own a small company now.First of all,I sell earphones on amazon.Some people may hold the view that this earphone brand should be  very popular in USA.Well,it is not right at all because I have done a lot of things in order to make more people know it.For example,advertising on other websites has taken me much money.Generally,I can  get 2 thousand dollars from my sales.Second,I also invest in an internet company.Some people may complain that they can not find many effective  ways to make use of their money.As far as I known ,investing is perfect.Generally,you do not need to do many things.That is why it is very relaxing.However,the most important question is how to choose an industry.Today,I am going to recommend one to you here.

Readers should know what I am going to talk about because the title can tell you the answer.As some people are not familiar with Natural gas investments,I will give you more detailed information.My blog is all about global warming.In fact,I have written a lot of articles which emphasize the importance of energy.It is such a critical resource that it affects everyone.Without energy,we will find that we can not do a lot of things.For instance,we can not surf the internet.It seems that many people can not live without internet.In addition,our iphones can not work properly.

Now, that it is established that reducing the food miles will be a good eco-friendly gesture, your next question will be, how to reduce the food miles? The points mentioned below will help you to reduce food miles:

Consumer Behavior Impact
As I mentioned earlier, imports considerably increase food miles, so before buying food stuffs from a supermarket, check the labels to see where the product was produced, go for food products that come from your local market, or nearby markets. The producers of food products, usually track the market to analyze consumer behavior, once they deduce that the demand for food products from the faraway markets has reduced, automatically the import rates will come down.

Encouraging Local Markets
Encourage local farmers, fishmongers, butchers, and all other sources of food products in the local market, by buying from them. This will have 2 benefits:
•You will reduce the food miles.
•It will boost the local economy.
Note: If you feel that any imported fruit (or vegetable) can be grown locally, then you can always suggest it to the local farmers.

Avoid Adding Food Miles
When you go out in your vehicle, to buy food products from a store (or farm), you are adding to food miles. Here are a few ways by which you can avoid this:
•Using public modes of transportation is one of the best ways to avoid adding to the food miles, as you won’t pollute the environment by the emissions from your car.
•Try to go shopping in groups, so multiple instances of traveling are avoided.
•Avoid frequent visits to the market, and prefer walking or cycling to go to the nearby supermarket. Continue Reading »
