Problems and issues

Giant corporations: In the big cities like US, Russia, Germany, England exist giant corporation which dedicate to different things and are created more often, some end up causing heavy pollution like  factories that generates humo or large buildings. 

Global warming: global warming is an increase in temperature due to pollution, among other gases that cause greenhouse gases, melting icecaps, loss of the ozone layer. This affects both us and animals and the environment.

Pollution: Environmental pollution occurs when several harmful gases to health, both chemical, biological and physical alter the environment in which we live. It is considered that an environment is contaminated when they change their characteristics and threatens the health of living beings and the quality of natural resources.

Environmental contamination can occur both natural contaminants such as human action. The human being is the main culprit for the pollution of rivers, sea, air and land by industrial, commercial, agricultural, home and mobile activities. (Inspiraction, 2009)

Oil spill: An oil spill is oil, discharged accidentally or intentionally, that floats on the surface of water bodies as a discrete mass and is carried by the wind, currents and tides. Oil spills can be partially controlled by chemical dispersion, combustion, mechanical containment and adsorption. They have destructive effects on coastal ecosystems (Terms, 2001).

I think it is very important to take care and take action on what suffers the earth. is certainly always going to have problems like pollution, natural disasters that harm us, however all should contribute to make it a better world.
