Fair to Planet Earth
How can we save the planet? It’s a big problem and you often hear about it. There are various easy ways which can be helpful in saving the earth. Earth is the only known planet of the solar system having life. In the ancient time, people were not involved in any type of destructive work, so there was no any fear of pollution and other environmental issues. After explosion in the population, people started developing cities and industries for the modern lifestyle and easy life for everyone. People learned misusing the natural resources beyond the limit and were involved in deforestation which resulted in extinction of various wild animals, pollution, and global warming. Due to the global warming the protective ozone layer got a hole, there was a rise in sea level, the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland melted and other negative changes occurred. Such types of environmental changes are alarming to us.
