I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to my
teacher (Name of the teacher) as well as our principal (Name of
the principal)who gave me the golden opportunity to do this
wonderful project on the topic (Write the topic name), which
also helped me in doing a lot of Research and I came to know
about so many new things I am really thankful to them.
Secondly I would also like to thank my parents and friends
who helped me a lot in finalizing this project within the limited
time frame.

Environment is what is around something. It can be
living or non-living things.
It includes physical, chemical and other natural
forces. Living things live in their environment. They
constantly interact with it and change in response to
conditions in their environment. In the environment
there are interactions between animals, plants, soil,
water, and other living and non-living things.
Since everything is part of the environment of
something else, the word 'environment' is used to talk
about many things.
1. Littering. Most people do not deliberately trash the environment, but
almost everyone carelessly litters now and then. It takes a conscious effort
to put refuse in its place, from cigarette butts and plastic water bottles to
food packaging seen on the sides of roads and often within several feet of
waste bins.
2. Wasting Food. Most leftovers can be frozen and reheated for
future meals. Most packaged goods can be used long after
their supposed expiration dates. Nevertheless, up to 14% of all
food purchased in the United States ends up in the trash.

3. Wasting Paper. Although it can be recycled, most paper isn’t. We still

use disposable paper bags, diapers, napkins and towels instead of reusable
cloth ones, utility bills sent by mail instead of digitally, books purchased
from stores rather than borrowed from libraries… the list is virtually
endless.
4. Wasting Water. Apart from letting the water run while brushing our
teeth, we don’t use low-flow showerheads to reduce water usage or water
filters to purify tap water for drinking. We landscape with thirsty lawns
instead of xeriscaping.
5. Wasting Electricity. Power plants are the biggest polluters on the
planet. When we leave lights and appliances on unnecessarily, heat or cool
unoccupied rooms, or fail to insulate homes and water heaters, we add to
the pollution.
6. Toxic Chemicals. Most homes contain detergents, degreasers,
stain removers, pesticides and a variety of hazardous chemicals.
Even when used properly, they eventually return to the environment,
contaminating groundwater, lakes and oceans. The solution is to use
natural, eco-friendly products.

7. Improper Disposal. Toxic garbage must be taken to a hazardous waste

collection site. That includes batteries, light bulbs, paint, chemicals and
even CDs and DVDs. Recyclable materials such as plastic and aluminum
need to be separated and sent to the appropriate recycling facilities.

8. Car Travel. – Rather than bicycle, walk, carpool or use public

transport, we hop in the car, even for short trips, wasting fossil fuels
and adding to pollution. The solution, of course, is to leave the car in
the garage as often as possible.
9. Air Travel. Flying produces almost as much CO2 emissions per
passenger per mile as driving the same distance alone in a car. Planes
also emit nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide directly into the atmosphere
at high altitudes, perhaps doubling their overall climate warming effect.
Avoid flying whenever possible.

10. Ignorance. It is hard to make changes for the better when one’s
own contributions to the problem are unknown. A good place to
start learning is by knowing the size of your own Carbon
Footprint. The result provides an indicator of where meaningful
adjustments can be made.
Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the
natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the
form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or
light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign
substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants.
These are the types of environmental problem:
 Air Pollution
 Water Pollution
 Land Pollution
 Noise Pollution
Air pollution occurs when harmful substances including particulates and
biological molecules are introduced into Earth`s atmosphere. It may cause
diseases, allergies or death of humans; it may also cause harm to other living
organisms such as animals and food crops, and may damage the natural
or built environment. Human activity and natural processes can both generate
air pollution
Water Pollution is the contamination of water bodies(e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans,
aquifers and groundwater). This form of environmental degradation occurs when
pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without
adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.
Water pollution affects the entire biosphere – plants and organisms living in
these bodies of water. In almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to
individual species and population, but also to the natural biological communities.
Noise pollution or noise disturbance is the disturbing or excessive noise that
may harm the activity or balance of human or animal life. The source of most
outdoor noise worldwide is mainly caused by machines and transportation
systems, motor vehicles engines, aircraft, and trains. Outdoor noise is summarized
by the
kokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokok
okokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokoko
kokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokokoko noise. Poor urban
planning may give rise to noise pollution, since side-by-side industrial and
residential buildings can result in noise pollution in the residential areas.
Documented problems associated with urban noise go back as far as Ancient
Rome.
Here are 10 simple ways to conserve and protect the environment through small
changes to your daily routine for a better world for you, your family, your
community and all living things now and forever.

1. Create a compost heap in your garden or use a compost bin. This helps recycle
food waste and other biodegradable materials.

2. When going shopping, make it a habit to bring your own eco-bags and say no to
plastic bags as much as possible.

3. Join as many tree planting trips as you can.

4. If possible, try carpooling to work, business presentations, events, or even to

run errands. Think of ways you can reduce the number of trips you make using
your car.
5. Reduce emissions from cars by walking or cycling. These are not just
great alternatives to driving, they are also great exercise.

6. Use public transport, when you can, for everyday travel.

7. Send your drinking bottles, paper, used oil, old batteries and used tires to
a depot for recycling or safe disposal; all these very cause serious pollution.

8. Do not pour chemicals and waste oil on to the ground or into drains
leading to bodies of water.

9. Wherever possible, separate biodegradable and recyclable

waste from non-biodegradable and work to reduce the amount of non-
biodegradable or recyclable waste.

10. Reduce the amount of meat you eat, or even better become vegetarian.
