Clean Water


Drinking water or clean water is water safe enough to be consumed by humans or used with low risk of immediate or long term harm.
Water is a precious factor in our life. We need water for washing, drinking, watering, and so on. However water is more and more polluted nowaday. What is the causes of water pollution and effects of water pollution. Water is polluted by human activities, agricultural activities, industrial activities. The wate pollution have huge serious impact to people and marine ecosystem.
Firstly, there are some main cause of water pollution. Human activities is making water polluted day by day. People put untreated sewage

into rivers, lakes. And then it will flow to oceans. In addition, they dump a lot of waste near to rivers or lakes or in them. Waste is very difficult to degrade. Paper needs two weeks to degrade. Plastic bag need four years to degrade and glass needs a long time, not exactly to degrade. After their degrade, there are many harm for water source. Moreover,
peope use detergents to wash or clean some thing, that change the chemical in water. Water is polluted by human activities.
Secondly, angricutural is also a cause of water pollution. Farmer uses fertiliser and pesticides to protect their plants, but it is very dangerous to enviroment especcially, water. And intensive farming lead to concentration of sulury and silage, thats will put into water source. And the third cause is industrial activities the most cause of water pollution.
A lot of untreated water put into river. Some factory use fresh water to carry your waste from their plants to river or ocean. There fore, river and ocean have to contain a huge of waste. The other industrial is burning fossil fuel make water pollution. This is indirect of water pollution. After burning fossil fuel a lot of acidic go into air and it will mix with vapor water in atmosphere, that make acidic rain. Acidic rain fall again into river and ocean. And oil spill make water polluted seriously. Oil cover surface of ocean and many chemical flow into water, petro-medical, lead, mercury, all pollutants in one. These above is causes of water pollution.
Turning to the effects of water pollution on effects to people and effects to marine ecosystem. The first effect is harmful for human. People is lack of fresh water to use. So they have to spend much money on buying fresh water. That is waste a lot of money. Some of them is not enough money to buy water pollution so they must use dirty water. Through using dirty water, people easy to get lung cancer, typhoid, skin' diseases. The second effects of water pollution is harm for marine ecosystem. Many fishes and other animals are died by water pollution. Animals are tangled into plastic bag. Moreover, animals are covered by oil after oil spills. Oil is diresolve and it is not remove on body of animals. So they will weak and die slowly. Water pollution destroy marine ecosystem.
Water pollution is caused by human activities, agricutural activities and industrial activities with negative effects to people and marine animals. How can you do to protect our water source- protect our enviroments. I hope that all of you have more awareness in decreasing water pollution. Your small action will contribute a part in protect water. Let' protect our earth.

Deforestation


Deforestation is when human remove or clear large areas of forest land and related ecosystems for non-forest use.These include clearing for farming purposes,ranching and urban use.In these cases,trees are never re-planted.
Where deforestation happen:
Top 10 highest deforestation countries in world:
1)Brazil
2)Indonesia
3)Russia
4)Mexico
5)Papua New Guinea
6)Peru
7)USA
8)Bolivia
9)Sudan
10)Nigeria
Deforestation is one of the causes of environmental pollution, the phenomenon of the earth warming, famine, floods, accidents in village forest elephants quit killing people, destroying property ... as well as the destruction of the forest under the forest canopy caused ecological imbalance serious, leading to erratic climate change, floods, flash floods, landslides, and a lot of diseases.
Worldwide, deforestation causing damage to the $ 45 billion / year. According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Environment America, each year on average in the world with about 33 million hectares of forest destroyed for many different purposes has generated more than 1.5 billion tons of CO2 into the environment, accounting for 20% of man-made emissions causing the greenhouse effect makes the earth warmer temperatures.
It is estimated that the deforestation as at present, by 2050, up to two billion people, or 20% of the world population will become dehydrated. Most of these people suffer from water shortages living in developing countries. Besides food sources are also at risk threatened to irrigation water becomes scarce.
Effects of deforestation in watershed VN
According to the latest report of the World Food Programme (FAO), VN is one of five countries most heavily affected from natural disasters, especially storms and flooding rain. Rain storms in the territory VN increasing both the frequency and the dangers, are becoming real threats to human life and the development of the economy.
Besides the causes such as geographical features, climate change causes flooding situation in VN is becoming increasingly fierce, there is a direct cause of the people. Watershed deforestation for logging, agriculture development, hydropower ... as vegetation in the basin are decreasing leading to deter poor flow, flood focus faster.
In mid-October last several provinces in central region floods occurred several days of continuous rain caused heavy losses of life and property. This time the rain functional departments rated as one hundred years and concluded, was due to watershed deforestation. When headwater forests are cut down, the intensity of the floods come quickly, making the water rise very quickly. Trees to prevent floods, disasters erratic. When the high water, trees and prevents water power plant roots will absorb flood waters somewhat. There are trees, water power stronger support, windbreak trees and weaken the power in the storm passes through the area. According to scientists, the forest areas and watershed protection forests in the central provinces were razed to make room for hydropower are losing the ability to regulate water when heavy rains upstream, this is a major cause caused more severe flooding days.
Our country is actively implementing two major programs such as the National Target Programme to Respond to Climate Change and National Programme for Disaster Prevention. The central goal of this program is to plant and protect forests. From the model performed until results are still quite a distance away and does not know when the new narrow this gap, to avoid danger to yourself and future generations.
Solution.
_Curb the felling trees,by employing a series of rules and laws to gover it.
_Clear cutting of forests must be banned.
_Cutting must be replaced by planting young trees to replace the older ones that were cut.

John

John was 16 years old when he ran away from his home in Nebraska, hoping to see the country.  He arrived in New York City and was quickly stranded once he ran out of money.  He was sleeping on the streets and fell in with a group of older homeless youth who introduced him to injecting heroin.  Within a few months they also introduced him to some older men who would pay him for sexual favors so that he could afford the heroin that he now needed in order to get through the day.
John initially made contact with street outreach workers who referred him to more ongoing supportive services and helped him find the resources he needed to take care of himself, including shelter and psychiatric help to manage his addiction.  John had never told anyone about how he was supporting himself and his drug habit while on the street and he had a lot of shame and anxiety about this.  After a few weeks of non-judgmental counseling he began to open up about his experience of trading sex for drug money and especially what this meant to him as a heterosexual young man.  Through the counseling and services he received he was able to get his GED, find a job, and move into a supportive housing program for young people who are recovering drug users.
