Organic Farming
Farming without chemicals is known as organic farming. No chemicals are used to grow the food, so there are none that can harm your health. By choosing organic produce, people can assist in saving the countryside.
Saving the Rainforests

River Pollution
Human waste can drastically affect public water and become a great health risk. Dangerously, River pollution is concentrated around urban areas. Pollution is occurring when the water shows an alteration of physical and chemical parameters such as odor, taste, colour, turbidity.
The most common sources of pollution are domestic water discharges from the houses in the catchment area, and uncontrolled dumps of solid domestic wastes along tributary banks and in dry ravines. Industrial discharge can also be a major cause of pollution in areas. Each industrial discharge usually contains chemicals and organic compounds which can enter the bodies of many aquatic animals. Even ground water can be polluted from the soakage pits, septic tanks, manure, garbage, etc. and that eventually discharges to the rivers still worsening the problem.
Littering
Cigarette butts make up a large part of much urban litter and they can take up to 12 years to break down.
Plastics block drains and can cause harm to animals. Most plastic is not easily biodegradable.
Plastic actually decomposes as it is exposed to the rain and sun and other environmental conditions, giving rise to yet another source of global contamination that will continue into the future. As the plastic breaks down, it releases BPA, a compound shown to throw off rats’ hormone systems, along with another potentially harmful substance called styrene trimer. The toxins could pose a threat to the ecosystem in various ways.
Green Energy
Major utilities around the world are looking seriously to wind turbines as a source of green energy. Major public utilities regulators know green energy wind generated electricity that will eliminate a reliance on coal, natural gas and other fossil fuels by the end of this decade.
Wind energy poses a sustainable and a clean green electricity alternative to fossil fuels and nuclear power.
Solar Energy is a renewable source of energy. Sunlight and other sources of energy are used to generate solar power through solar pannels. Solar energy that can be set up in a backyard, is capable of generating enough green energy power for a single home.
