An important question that we need to answer is that what exactly we mean by the term "environment". Is it simply our surroundings? No, it is certainly more complex than that. It is a very delicate and dynamic equilibrium between each and every ingredient of our surrounding and us. The ecosystems contain the interaction between organisms and nature.
Man has been responsible for disrupting this delicate balance by exploiting our natural resources. In fact the resources in the past have faced uninhibited exploitation leading them to their current depleted stage. An unchecked release of the pollutants in the air has resulted in the greenhouse effect resulting in the ozone layer getting depleted. This has resulted in global warming which has had many disastrous effects like the rising levels of the water bodies. All this has also resulted in more ecological imbalances occurring than ever before. The ecosystem has also suffered on account of the careless mistakes of various industries and certain individuals who want to save on thecost at the expense of damaging the ecosystem. In fact there is no aspect of the ecosystem that has been left untouched by these perils as you have air pollution affecting the air you take in, water pollution, land pollution affecting the crops.
There are many organizations that make it their agenda to education people and corporations on conserve the environment. They are stressing the development of alternative green sources as an answer to the non-renewable sources of energy, preserving the endangered species, setting up of goals for the reduction of pollution, establishment of natural reserves and the protection of biodiversity upon which the delicate balance of the ecosystems hangs.
There is now international awareness towards these ecological problems. Countries have come in together to solve the environment issues plaguing them. The Global Environment Facility (GEF) that was established in the year 1991 supports many projects related to environment such as the climate change, international waters, land degradation, the ozone layer, and persistent organic pollutants.
World Environment Day on June 5th every year was developed by the UN to promote the awareness on the environment. It is an important step in launching this campaign for environmental awareness since the environment can be saved if it's a large-scale effort involving people across the globe.
