Save environment for a safe future
The main environmental problem Pakistan facing is pollution and we have to save environment for a save future.
1)Water Pollution:
The National Conservation Strategy Report has documented how solid and liquid excreta are the major source of water pollution in the country and the cause of widespread waterborne diseases. Because only just over half of urban residents have access to sanitation, the remaining urban excreta are deposited on roadsides, into waterways, or incorporated into solid waste. Additionally, only three major sewage treatment plants exist in the country; two of them operate intermittently. Much of the untreated sewage goes into irrigation systems, where the wastewater is reused, and into streams and rivers, which become sewage carriers at low-flow periods. Consequently, the vegetables grown from such wastewater have serious bacteriological contamination. Gastroenteritis, widely considered in medical circles to be the leading cause of death in Pakistan, is transmitted through waterborne pollutants.
Stopping Water Pollution:
i)Use fewer chemicals:
Chemicals we use to wash our homes, cars and even our bodies get washed down the drain and into the sewer system, but they often end up in the water supply. These chemicals aren't good for the plants and animals that make up our ecosystems, and they aren't healthy for human consumption, either. Whenever possible, use natural, healthy alternatives to chemicals.[3]
For example, instead of using a heavy-duty cleaner to scrub your bathroom or kitchen, use a mixture of vinegar and water or a baking soda and salt paste. These natural household supplies get the job done just as well, and they won't pollute the water when you wash them down the drain.
Try making your own laundry detergent and dish soap. If you don't have the time, buy detergent made with all-natural ingredients.
When you can't find a good alternative to a toxic item, use the least amount you can get...
