Effects of Deforestation

by admin, March 30, 2011

in Nature

Forests, and the trees they contain are essential for the well being of planet Earth. They play a huge role in determining the climate. They filter out unwanted carbon dioxide gas, and provide a shelter and habitat for millions of species.

Currently, primarily due to the action of man, these vital natural organs are being lost at an alarming rate, and it is estimated that 50% of forests have been lost in fairly recent times as a direct result of human activity, certainly during the last 175 years or so.

Effects of Passive Smoking

by admin, March 26, 2011

in Health

As it has now become recognized that passive smoking, or being exposed to second hand smoke can be just as dangerous to the health as the smoking habit itself, it has now been classified as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS).

Second hand tobacco smoke is a major cause of indoor air pollution, where frequently non smokers are obliged to inhale the smoke from burning tobacco, or the smoke being exhaled by active smokers. This of course is why many locations in public places are now designated as being non smoking areas.

Every person subjected to breathing second hand smoke is at risk. ETS can damage infants, and small children can suffer damage to their vital organs as a result of passive smoking.

Effects of Overpopulation

by admin, March 16, 2011

in Society

Many people either do not care, or fail to understand that planet Earth is finite. That the planet does not have unlimited resources, and can only sustain a finite amount of life.

In the natural environment a balance between populations is maintained by the actions of prey and predators. If this was not the case their natural habitat would be unable to sustain them, and very soon the Earth’s surface would be covered by wild animals, and plants.

Each nation has only limited resources, and generally has only sufficient to sustain a limited number of people. Underdeveloped and developing countries are often the ones which do not exercise any form of birth control, and are the ones who are always hungry, with many people getting inadequate nutrition, and often at starving point.
