With today’s society it’s hard to know what you can and cannot trust as far as environmentally sound items go. We have the new hybrid that is supposed to be eco friendly yet it still uses gas. They have the new flexfuel out there that is supposed to be healthier for the environment but is only saving about 3% of the toxins in the air. In this article you will learn about environmentally linked issues in different countries all around the world.

The first subject that we’ll discuss has to do with problems that are health related. Scientists have linked many other health related problems to pollutants. The air is thin and it’s not getting any thicker. The more we harm Mother Nature the more and more thin our ozone layer becomes. Our children will have a less chance of having a healthy, fruitful, life and disease will only continue to develop. Chemical dumping is a huge problem we have. Ships go out to the middle of the ocean to dump tubs of chemical waste, even though it is highly illegal. Researchers have discovered that chemical dumping, in the environment, has an unknown effect on so many people’s long term health. We look at these chemicals around the house and think nothing of them but when you mix two chemicals together, like bleach and ammonia, you create a very deadly gas.

Another point I’d like to make is that air pollution consists of various types of chemicals and gases being passed into our atmosphere. Burning that “eco friendly” car doesn’t do as much good as you realize. Even making a simple phone call on your cellular device can cause harmful rays to the ozone layer. Studies have shown that it’s healthier for the environment to text someone further away than close. Take a class on going green, learn to embrace different ways that reduce air pollution. One way you can create a better future for our children is start with the young. Letting them know about the harm doing certain things or driving a car can impact on our environment.

One last point we need to touch on may not seem like a big deal to America but if you turn over your favorite remote or cell phone and read, “made in china” written on it you might think again. Chinese Drywall is mainly in Asian countries, yes, but it is slowly making its way to the Americas. Chinese Drywall seems to be linked to some serious health issues. Phosphogypsum is the main ingredient in Chinese Drywall. Seeing the effects this very common building tool can do to a home is incredible. Check out chinesedrywall.com and learn more. Chinese Dry wall continues with input from multiple organizations and will eventually hit the states.

In conclusion the environment is our friend and should be treated as such. We need to make sure that what we have won’t be taken away from us and will be able to be a gift to our children. This article should have enlightened you, at least a little, on the importance of keeping our earth green. Try to watch how you treat Mother Nature, you never know when she’ll fight back.
