Water Pollution - This photo shows the impact of water pollution, as evidenced between the roots/wood and rocks, through the flow of water. This pollution is as a result of dumping and improper waste methods, as well as acid rain. In order to decrease the amount of water pollution existent in the world today, there needs to be more accountability for large corporations, as well as each person in their daily waste disposal procedures. Large fines should be induced for those who are unable to comply to the standards set by the government. The difficulty which will be found by those trying to put those laws into effect, will be the monitoring of such methods of waste disposal. In order to implement such laws, new enforcement will be required (which will cost more money), and the people who choose to dump in private/in secrecy, will be difficult to monitor.
Creation of Roads (Destruction of Rock Formations) - The widespread destruction of rock formations in order to create roads causes erosion loss of natural environments. In order to change the way that the world uses up natural environments destroys rock formations, there should be better city planning in terms of roadways. There is not enough money placed into proper city planning and roadway planning. There are enormous amounts of money used on creating and recreating roads. This weakens the natural environment and the resources which are available. More money placed into Urban Planning programs, and taxes placed into putting resources back into the environment
Industrial Pollution - This photo illustrates the industrial pollution of the Western World. There is a large amount of pollution from factories (especially found in Hamilton, ON) without any repercussions to the companies who are creating this pollution. This damages cycles, from the water cycle to the oxygen cycle. The amount of pollution being created also is a significant cause to global warming. In the years to come, we will begin to see the severity of the condition of our world. In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, programs should be implemented in order to reward large corporations for cutting down on pollution and waste production, and taxes in order to prevent them from creating more. There should also be programs in order to provide more resources in order to account for the ones destroyed or taken out of the environment. However, these programs all cost money, and the government is not in a place to spend extra money on programs and monitoring.
