Essay on clean environment

When it comes to the methods of dealing with the problem of throwing waste and neglecting the cleanliness of the streets and the parks, they are as follows:

· Simplification. This is a personal method to utilize what you already possess and not buying what you, in fact, do not need to buy. Thus, there will be less waste in landfills that are already full. Logically, then, we will have less waste and we will achieve cleanliness.

· A home with as little trash as possible. This means that the landfills will not be so full for generations to come. This can be done by buying products with little packaging as well as

recycling the waste as much as you can.

· A tree-free home. As the name itself implies, this means using as little tree products as possible. This, in turn, will result in a good air quality not only at home, but on our streets and in parks too. For example, using toilet paper that contains at least 80% recycled waste, replacing paper towels with rags, using papers on both sides instead of only one, and using wood at home which can be renewed in simple way.

· Less junk mail. This way the landfills are not under additional burden as the papers don’t get wasted there, creating further deterioration.

· Reducing the usage of electrical equipment. In this way, you will spare energy, because you will turn off all the appliances when you don’t need them, such as the light or cell phones. As a result, you will spare bills as well as contribute to your environment when it comes to its preservation.

· Planting local food. Growing your own food is beneficial for a reduction in the total commercial foods that need preservatives and pesticides for their preservation. They have an immediate negative effect on the air. It has also been proven that organic food offers better sustainability than the one that is preserved by using chemicals, which always have a negative effect, thus being harmful for the entire global ecosystem.

· Decreasing contaminants. As we already mentioned earlier, health begins in a healthy environment from your own home, which is why it is always a better solution to cut down on the usage of toxic materials and contaminants at home.

· Decreasing the usage of pesticides and chemicals

The environment is always directly polluted by pesticides and chemicals from your own home, which is why they should be removed as much as possible. Sodium bicarbonate, vinegar and lemons are a great way to remove these, for instance.

As we can see, it is actually quite simple to take steps so as to preserve a clean environment. If all of us introduce small changes in our daily lives, we will have a very positive impact on our environment and nature, beginning at our own door, then on the street and in parks.

When it comes to some methods and ways that developed countries have been using to improve the overall quality of the environment, it is worth mentioning that Iceland, according to reasearch, is not only the cleanest country in Europe, but in the whole world! The ranking was made based upon 25 factors, such as air and water quality, greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the environmental effect on people’s health. But let us stick to a populated developed country in Europe, such as Germany.

· Germany. The environmental policy, law and viewpoints in this country are changing, where the German Government focuses on renewables for the sake of a less polluted, safer and more aware environmental policy. Germany has succeeded in controling air pollution with flue-gas desulfurisation, the utilization of catalytic converters and electrostatic precipitators. These standards mainly target plants or motorised vehicles, such as big combustion plants or diesel passenger cars. When it comes to streets, a street sweeper is used to remove garbage. Germany keeps its parks safe due to strict policies that regulate throwing waste on the street or in parks, such as being penalized and having to pay for the ‘damage’.

· Japan. Shinto is one of the most widespread religions in Japan until now. The gods in the religion are said to have an aversion for dirt. It is in part due to this that the Japanese like cleanliness. According to a source, Japan is one of the cleanest places regardless of having some of its own problems when it comes to environment. One of such problems is the problem of putting away trash. Still, it has retained the majority of its land clean and safe. Children in Japan start to clean their own mess at school, and continue to develop the habit later on. Putting away garbage in Japan is not only throwing it into adequate bins. There is a garbage disposal system that helps individuals separate garbage appropriately. people segregate trash properly. Every area has its unique system. For instance, a certain system can sort them out into paper, plastic burnable (red bags), non-burnable (blue bags), cans, cartons, PET bottles, broken glass, and so on and so forth. Cleanup schedules in Japan do not only apply to young children; grownups too join together to keep their neighborhood clean. Finally, Japan's public transportation system is actually regarded as the best one on the planet.

· Washington. As for the United States, Washington is, according to research, number 1 when it comes to renewable energy production. Perhaps it should not come as be a surprise, becaus it is associated with environmental concerns and the geographical variances to embrace manifold renewable technologies at the same time.
