How green was my valley Are we paying the price of nature?

We had a beautiful green natural environment, which is not comparable with other countries. In the past we were very proud to say about it. But now-a-days all the nations are trying to show supremacy over one another, and in this process they are unknowingly destroying the natural environment. Population is one of the reasons of this destruction, which in directly results in pollution. This results in the increase of no of industries and other utilities like vehicles, etc. These are releasing some of the poisonous/toxic gases like Carbon monoxide and sulphurdioxide and also carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide when inhaled by human beings mixes with hemoglobin of blood and forms carboxy hemoglobin. This oxygen reduces carrying capacity of the hemoglobin. Sulphurdioxide released into the atmosphere mixes with the rainwater or water vapor in the atmosphere and forms sulphuric acid and this results in acid rains. Chloroform carbons, which are released from refrigerators and aero planes, are causing the destruction of ozone layer. All of us know that co2 is responsible for greenhouse effect and global warming which causes the melting of ice at the poles and soon the earth may be submerged. And due to the industrial effluents, sewage, which is released into the water, are harmful to the aquatic organisms. In this way if we start saying there is endless list .So we have to think about the possible measures to control them. 1. Using solar energy effectively we can control thermal pollution. 2. Water pollution can be reduced by treating the industrial effluents chemically and biologically before releasing them into the water. 3. Global warming/green house effect can be reduced by deforestation. And by planting as many trees as possible.
