Eco Trends – Earth Day, Take the Day to Learn the Issues
Water – Water pollution can hurt our ability to use water in our homes, for recreation, and in commerce. It also harms other forms of life. We work to protect water in all its forms: on the ground, underground, and coming out of the tap.
Air -Air pollution comes from different sources and has many harmful effects, including hurting our health and the health of other living things. Although national air quality has improved over the last 20 years, many challenges remain. Our goal? Clean air to breathe for this generation and those to follow.
Climate – The Earth’s climate has changed many times during the planet’s history, with events ranging from ice ages to long periods of warmth. Natural factors such as volcanic eruptions, changes in the Earth’s orbit, and varying energy from the Sun have affected the Earth’s climate. Beginning late in the 18th century, human activities associated with the Industrial Revolution have also changed the composition of the atmosphere and therefore very likely are influencing the Earth’s climate.
Waste and Pollution – Although we can do a lot to clean up pollution after it’s in the environment, preventing pollution in the first place is even better. We can do that by changing how we manufacture as well as how we behave: reduce how much you use, reuse what’s left when you’re done, and recycle what you can’t reuse.
Ecosystem – An ecosystem is the air, water, land, and habitats supporting plant and animal life in a specific area. We support environmental planning that addresses all the factors, both natural and human, affecting various ecosystems.
The most important thing we can do for Earth Day is to take the time to learn about the issues impacting our environment, our earth. You can visit www.epa.gov for more detailed information and specific projects.
