Environmental Threats

Name

Institution

There are many different main environmental threats that the world is facing today. They include: human pollution and population, changes on earth, ozone decline, acid rain, and extinction of species. Increase in population may appear to be an obvious danger to the environment that goes far beyond the debatable concept of global warming. In this paper I will discuss three ways in which to address these threats. First I will communicate to all relevant stakeholders, secondly, I prepare different proposals with viable strategies and finally I will involve the government on matters of laws. The solutions which have been proposed include the conservation of water which is critical environment concern. This helps to protect the plants and animals that live in places with less availability of water. Next is to clear the air to reduce the emissions, and then decrease waste in order to decrease methane emissions and save energy and finally become the advocate of the planet. Talking to other people about environment can spread individual activities to a large group, forming positive impact on safeguarding the planet. The likely costs as well as benefits are that each and every theory has it successes as well as its failures.
