There is no doubt that human activity is hugely responsible for damaging the environment. The fact that concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased by more than a third since the industrial revolution highlights our impact. Therefore, it is our responsibility to improve our environmental awareness and change our behaviour.

The rise in greenhouse gas emissions contributes to the enhanced greenhouse effect, which has caused global temperatures to rise. These gases also cause air, land and water pollution. Pollution affects the quality of food, which might cause the ingestion of toxic substances. Poorer air quality also poses severe risks to human health.
