Environmental protection is the practice of protecting the natural environment by individuals, organizations and governments. Its objectives are to conserve natural resources and the existing natural environment and, where possible, to repair damage and reverse trends.

How the EPA Protects Our Environment and Health :

• State Environmental Programs. 
• Superfund Cleanup. 
• Oil Spill Cleanup. 
• Energy Efficiency.
• Clean Water/Safe Drinking Water. 
• Clean Air and Climate Protection.
• Chemical Safety.
• Bug Repellents.

                It is critical to protect the environment so as to reduce the destruction of eco-systems caused by a myriad of anthropogenic activities. ... Air and water pollution, global warming, smog, acid rain, deforestation, wildfires are just few of the environmental issues that we are facing right now.

                    You can take action to protect the environment by recycling, reusing, and composting; making better transport choices; reducing your electricity usage; buying local; donating to conservation groups; and avoiding toxic chemicals.

        Environmental pollution is defined as “the contamination of the physical and biological components of the earth/atmosphere system to such an extent that normal environmental processes are adversely affected.

            Additionally, environmental pollution is triggered by the introduction of harmful materials, such as gaseous pollutants, toxic metals, and particulate matter (PM) into the atmosphere; sewage, industrial effluents, agricultural runoffs, and electronic wastes into water bodies; and activities such as mining.

The different types of pollution have been discussed in greater details below :

• Air Pollution 
• Water Pollution 
• Soil Contamination 
• Noise Pollution 
• Plastic Pollution 
• Radioactive Contamination 
• Light Pollution 
• Thermal Pollution

Best Ways to Reduce Air Pollution :

1. Using public transports.
2. Turn off the lights when not in use.
3. Recycle and Reuse.
4. No to plastic bags. 
5. Reduction of forest fires and smoking.
6. Use of fans instead of Air Conditioner.
7. Use filters for chimneys.
8. Avoid usage of crackers.

        " Our natural environment makes human life possible, and our cultural environment helps define who we are. It is therefore essential that our population and economic growth are environmentally sustainable ".
