As I mentioned in my earlier report, we will be posting different aspects of the environment each day commencing from May 30 to world environment day to acknowledge the value of every small element of the environment operating together to form such a diverse domain through Youth Thinkers’ Society Lamjung as a campaign of World Environment Day. Here I bring you the posts of June 1^st and June 2^nd.

Day 3- 1^st June

One of our era's environment greatest scourges is air pollution, on account not only of its impact on climate change but also its impact on public and individual health due to increasing morbidity and mortality. There are many pollutants that are major factors in affecting environment. Despite the fact that ozone in the stratosphere plays a protective role against ultraviolet irradiation, it is harmful when in high concentration at ground level, also affecting the respiratory and cardiovascular system.

Major sources include the emission of pollutants from power stations,

 petrochemicals, the chemical and fertilizer industries, metallurgical and other industrial plants, and, finally, municipal incineration. Air pollution and climate change are closely related. Climate is the other side of the same coin that reduces the quality of our Earth. Air pollution is harming not only human health but also the environment in which we live. Hence, air pollution has deleterious effects on both soil and water.

Clean air is always fair, don't spoil it. Reduce air pollution and save the Mother Nature.

Day 4- 2^nd June

Climate change is one of the defining issues of our time. It is now more certain than ever, based on many lines of evidence, that humans are changing Earth's climate.

The most recent climate data and scientific analyses, all of which reinforce our understanding of human-caused climate change. Climate change poses new challenges to conservation. Changes in climate are transforming our planet. Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner. To adapt, we must rethink traditional approaches to conservation and development, moving beyond managing for persistence to managing for change. We have a single mission to protect and hand on the environment to next generation. Thus, people of conscience need to break their ties with corporations finding the injustice of climate change.
