Description
Here is where you will submit your final project that you were introduced to in week 6, please review the instructions below and submit the project when you are finished by the due date. Environmental problem of your choosing
Your final project should be creative and interesting, and should be a minimum of 6 pages in length not to exceed 8 pages and you will use APA style formatting. It should be well-organized and demonstrate an orderly flow of information that clearly addresses the subject chosen.
You should incorporate the following elements in the project:
- Problem identification: Clearly indicate the issue you will discuss and the influence this problem has on land, air, water resources, plant life, animal life, and human societies. Discuss the long-term effects this problem will continue to create without a comprehensive solution. The problem can be of local, national, or global scope.
- Solutions currently implemented: Discuss how the issue has been addressed historically. Determine the courses of action taken in science, technology, political and economic systems, laws and regulations, community-based initiatives, education, and so forth. Review the successes and limitations of these actions.
- Recommendations: Explain the actions that you believe need to be developed and implemented to accomplish change. Discuss your solution from multiple perspectives, such as educational, legislative, scientific, technological, economic, and other points of view.
In addition you should cite at least three other credible sources. Put these on your last page as works cited. You are cautioned to check out internet sources. The web abounds with junk science that is totally unreliable. Be sure to cross check your sources.

Problem Identification
For this project, I will be discussing about pollution as an environmental problem.
Pollution is one of the greatest issue of concern in the world today and the problem has
continued to persist since the industrial revolution. Today, a lot of environmental damage and
degradation being experienced is as a result of the effects of pollution and its impacts are very
harmful and irreparable. Pollution generally refers to contamination of the environment through
introduction of different forms of energy and other chemical substances at a faster rate than what
the environment can hold through breakdown, storage, dispersion or recycling, which in turn
leads to discomfort or harm to the human life and other living organisms. Pollution is a grave
issue that must be addressed with all the seriousness it deserves due to its increasingly negative
effects on the elements of the natural habitat that support life mainly air, land and water.
Pollution occurs in five main forms namely water, air, soil, light and noise (Li, 2016).
Air pollution constitutes the most harmful type of pollution that affects the environment
today. This form of pollution occurs as a result of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide,
Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides being released into the air through emission of smoke from
factories and industrial activities as well as from vehicles. These dangerous gases together with
Chlorofluorocarbons are increasing the atmospheric weight, depleting the ozone layer which in
turn leads to global warming (Vallero, 2014). Water pollution on the other hand is destroying
marine life and degrading the condition of water bodies. Soil pollution has led to significant
destruction on land and vegetation leading to extinction of both animal and plant life as well as
water resources. Pollution has negatively impacted the human societies through increased
diseases such as cancer, respiratory diseases, heart problems and even premature death. Its

effects on water resources, plant life and animal life are equally disastrous and can lead to
complete loss of life in future if the problem persist. Without a comprehensive solution to curb
this problem, pollution will eventually lead to environmental degradation, infertile land and loss
of plant life, poor human health and even death, ozone layer depletion and eventually global
warming which is anot...
