The environmental problems have been causing the communities to suffer in different ways. Such
environmental problems like the water and air pollutions, deforestation and other resources depletion, they
are known for the common environmental problems that until now is getting issued overtime. Many
individuals are helping together to address these kinds of environmental problems going on until this current
day to make others aware of it. This essay will also make the same awareness about the environmental
problems to students. With the programs made by the environmental groups involving individuals that
contain solutions concerning environmental problems are implemented to reduce and solve these problems,
in addition of the importance of all these even as a student engaging, participating or volunteering regarding
to environmental problems. This essay is all about the environmental problems which includes the current
situations of the community due to it, the simple ways to address environmental problems as students to give
a helping hand to solve the environmental problems, and the effects to individual’s health including
themselves if it’s not addressed or reduced.

The current situations of the community due to environmental problems are being ignored and
forgotten as if it’s invisible in the naked eye. Some bodies of water are getting over-populated, filled with
the waste thrown away carelessly referring to water pollution, that caused aquatic life disappear. Air
pollution from the areas in a community are affecting the growing phenomenon of global warming, in result
of forest fire, climate change and others as the animals die or lose homeland. Deforestation have caused
floods making the affected areas lost their loves ones, properties, crops and lives. Other resources depletion
like overfishing and over mining have caused others not to have enough resources that they must have. Some
individuals in a community may also be the cause of the situations they are experiencing due to their own
actions. The ways to address environmental problems. To solve all the situations even a little, environmental
programs are implemented to spread awareness to the community regarding to environmental problems
being issued unto this day. And students should join the programs implemented by a simple waste
segregation, it will be a huge help as one of the steps in solving environmental problems. Recycling waste
would lessen the amount of waste piling up. By which can be done by having creational activities in schools
like gardening and other culminating events and communities or it can be done for less expenses for things
they need. Coastal cleaning can be also done with the collaboration of both students and individuals
involving in environmental groups. Saving resources like simply using the back page of a sheet of paper
rather than throwing it away and waste another wood for it. Avoiding using harmful materials such as
throwing dynamite in the ocean, not getting toxic chemicals leak in manufactures or even in transporting
them to places in the ocean. If all the given simple ways to address the environmental problems are not put
into action, consequences concerning health of individuals would rise up. Air pollution will cause hard
breathing to individuals especially with those who have lungs disease or sickness. Due to exceeded heat
caused by the air pollution, some people might get heat stroke, and hypothermia which can lead and result to
death. Water pollution will cause people living near some bodies of water and using it, be on diarrhea, or
severe stomach aches and any possible illnesses caused by water pollution. Deforestation causes a
community not to have enough number of trees to breathe air from causing worse air pollution to suffer
from, knowing that trees are the source of clean air to breathe in. Other resources depletion and using
harmful materials to get too much number of resources might get an individual get end up into food
poisoning, just like how would dynamites used in fishing might get fishes get contaminated with the
chemicals from it and ends up with an individual consuming the contaminated fish and get poisoned
afterwards. These environmental problems have a great negative impact only in the areas in a community but
also in an individual’s health. From this, the group of individuals making awareness about the environmental
problems are contributing solutions and sharing them by having programs implemented to reduce and solve
every environmental problem even bit by bit. As students, they should all be aware of these and engage or
volunteer themselves on helping to reduce and solve the these problems.

In conclusion, some of the environmental problems are usually human made which that cause
humans to suffer the consequences of their own doings or their actions that caused them to experience the
negative impacts on them from it. Even though with all these environmental problems, students also can
work with the individuals having the same goal for the environment by doing simple self-discipline about
the actions they do that could affect the environment of their own community they are standing in and living
in. They can even implement programs with the help on one another to reduce the environmental problems
and solve all of them for once by volunteering to any environmental activities. If environmental problems
are ignored and worsen by day after day, it could affect us in many ways of living and especially when it
comes to humans health. Environmental problems have the great negative impacts on itself to have impact
on us. It might and can turn into a possible life threatening to the community and people living in it. Students
are part of the community who should be aware of a these kinds of environmental problems in every areas of
environment. Because, students might be able to help on spreading some awareness about these problems
and provide or suggest solutions for it, and spread the information including the effects of all the
environmental problems and some simple ways to deal with it. And students might be able to explain the
importance of reducing and solving these problems in time to the others who are not aware even if they’re
still students.
