1. The current environmental situation in the world is at an alarming level
The world environment today is for many reasons such as soil pollution, water or air pollution and the most important reason is still human. Human life is more and more advanced, living standards are increasing, so we make use of all natural resources in an unconscious way. Soil: We use it to plan the construction of apartments, condominiums, factories, large factories to serve the interests of people. When factories are planted, they unconsciously discharge waste, leading to soil pollution. In addition, apartments and condominiums have sprung up like mushrooms, the population has become crowded and there is no need to throw garbage indiscriminately, leading to soil pollution by the time we realize it. Water: Instead of using this valuable resource for hydropower purposes to contribute to the development of people's lives, some individuals and organizations have impartially viewed the water source as a garbage dump. Moreover, they carelessly discharge industrial pollutants and people lack awareness of taking advantage of water sources but carelessly littering, leading to serious water pollution, affecting the daily life of people and the environment, especially other aquatic creatures. Air: With the amount of motorbikes and cars circulating today, they accidentally release a huge amount of toxic gas into the environment, which directly affects human health and other living things, including the atmosphere. On the other hand, factories produce poison into the air, making it more and more toxic. This is one of the alarming environmental pollution situations in Vietnam and in the world today. Next, I’m going to talk about the actual state of my local area environment 2. In the area of Xuan Truc commune, An Thi district (Hung Yen province) - a location only about 3km from the Hanoi - Hai Phong highway to Hung Yen city, the situation of burning garbage at the garbage dump outside the field still goes on calmly. Currently, there is only a waste treatment unit in the city, in addition, there is a Urenco unit specializing in garbage treatment with a capacity of 100 tons/day and another unit handling about 50 tons/day. The current reality is that there are not enough waste treatment facilities according to regulations, so because there is no place to take the garbage, there is a situation of gathering garbage in the field and burning it. 3. Solution Let's propagate to the people around us such as friends, teachers, family and the whole society about the current situation of environmental pollution, convey messages about environmental protection, help them be more aware in keeping the environment clean and healthy. At the same time, actively protect our living environment with practical actions such as planting trees, cleaning houses, streets, rivers and seas. Waste collection, systematic treatment is efficient, hygienic and doesn’t cause other consequences. And I highly recommend you to follow the 3R rule which means reduce unnecessary consumption and stop generating more and more waste, reuse everything you can or give usable things to the other person / institution to use it, recycle what remains as waste and dispose into the green dumpsters only that kind of waste which could not be recycled otherwise.
