Environmental problems can be found in all areas of the world, and they affect land, water and air. Some result from what humans take from the environment, in the form of land for agriculture, and accommodation for a rapidly increasing population; mineral and fossil fuel resources; and timber. These problems include deforestation, erosion, damage to ecosystems and reductions in biodiversity. Other problems stem from what humans put into the environment, in the form of various pollutants. These issues include climate change, damage to the ozone layer, urban pollution, and acid rain.í para modificar.
Global Warming
Dirty water is the world's biggest health risk, and continues to threaten both quality of life and public health.
Deforestation is a process generally caused by human action, which destroys the forest area.
Air pollution is a mixture of solid particles and gases in the air. Car emissions, chemicals from factories, dust, pollen and mold spores may be suspended as particles.
Soil contamination is the accumulation of such substances at levels that adversely affect the behavior of soils. Substances, these concentration levels become toxic to soil organisms.The current cycle of global warming is changing the rhythms of climate that all living things have come to rely upon. What will we do to slow this warming? How will we cope with the changes we've already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out, the face of the Earth as we know it—coasts, forests, farms, and snowcapped mountains—hangs in the balance.

Editorial
We have to think seriously in how we can help to decontaminate the environment and preserve the world, if we use more less the car we help the planet. However massive the dangers posed by climate change, their lack of immediate visibility in daily life means many people will do nothing concrete to tackle it; by the time they are prompted to action it will, by definition, be too late.
Other issues are semi-invisible to the naked eye but huge in their consequences. It has been apparent for years that our energy infrastructure needs renewal and yet, as we report today, business leaders warn that ministers are still not doing enough to ensure the UK does not run out of power. Today's energy strategy from the Confederation of British Industry is not averse to a plea for a subsidy here and a sop there. Ministers should approve new coal plants, it says, even without carbon capture and storage.
After all, nearly 40% of the world carbon emissions come from electricity generation. Yet the credit crunch is having a particularly disastrous impact on the renewables industry, which is struggling to raise finance. Even big players are pulling in their horns. The company's "Beyond Petroleum" slogan should be revised - "Back to Petroleum" would now be more appropriate.
Markets do not ever do the long term especially well, but they get particularly myopic during a crisis. This poses a particular problem for Labour, which has long favoured a private led approach to both energy provision and to adapting to climate change. Worryingly, there was little sign of this altering at last week's G20 summit. True, there were the necessary warm words in the communique. But a summit that was supposed to define the terms on which the world economy is to be rebuilt has ducked the toughest challenge - how to reconcile prosperity with environmental security.
Valuable property is also at risk – and those risks will only grow. In fact, flooding during disaster scenarios envisaged in a report designed to help authorities plan for future climate change impacts. With sea-level rise, a common storm could prove as catastrophic, putting about in a flood danger zone.
It’s not just to propiliate a international norm to reduce the combustible contaminates the food and we call it Greenhouse Effect, we have to promove more conscience in everyone because this have a lot of terrible consecuences: one of them is the disappearance of snowy pick, reactive volcanoes and hard climate changes in the origion of deforestation, storms, inundations or droughts, this have seriously incidents in the agriculture, some species survive.
The mundial day of environment we have take care and pay attention to the World and see the reality of the world, We have to take care of the planet if we want a better world to our children but we have to conscious that pollution will become one day and we have to do something like put rules, not contaminate de water and the rivers set limits of resource exploitation to avoid the accidents and reduce the minimum pollution levels.
Republic of Rwanda, a pioneer in the protection of biodiversity, will host. It hosts 52 endangered species. Ban Ki-moon said that species are dying in record time, so there will be activities as the largest global event of positive action to the ecosystem. The man himself contribute to these causes, degrading the habitat, altering the climate and depleting and polluting water resources. Rwanda For this reason tries entwine environmental protection and economic growth to the country.
