Environmental Issues Picture Analysis Student Name Institution Environmental Issues Picture Analysis Environmental issues are extremely significant in every community and to the world as whole. It is therefore, necessary to understand the various implications on several human activities on the environment. This is because doing so will help understand whether certain human actions help preserve the environment or rather contribute towards its destruction. These issues and causes of environment destructions are being addressed differently at varied levels by various policy makers around the world. There is every need to determine the best approaches to control environment pollution as well as improve on human actions to ensure that the damage to the environment is kept at the minimum most possible levels. This will ensure that the environment is well safeguarded as well as improve on environment conservation. This paper makes use of photographs to analyze the issue of environmental conservation and environmental issues. Process The main process and methods used to gather the information was observation. Environmental pollution and issues affecting the environment are visible all over the world. Millions of people across the globe suffer as a result of various forms of pollution, as they are subjected to enormous amounts of pollutants in their environment. This affects their general health tremendously to a point where some end up in hospitals as a result of some dangerous diseases. I took various photos that indicate various forms of pollution. These photos indicate the various ways through which people are subjected to pollutants within their environment. I	 later accrued out thorough research in the issue of environmental pollution to get statistical data of the number of people who suffer as a result of the various forms of pollutions that were included in the paper. It was a challenge to narrow down the photos to four as there are many environmental issues encountered in a daily basis around the world. To do so I had to research ion the main forms of air n environmental pollutions. This was aimed at helping me identify the pictures that when analyzed would have the biggest impact in resolving various environmental issues that impact the world all over. Having acquired a good knowledge background in the various environmental issues that affect the world, it was possible to articulately identify the main environmental concern that need immediate attention before it is too late to resolve them. After my analysis and research I managed to narrow down to Garbage issues, Tree deforestation, traffic related issues and cigarette smoking as some of the main forms of environmental issues that affect majority parts of the world. The issues vary in their severity ion different parts of the world, but the consequences of the various human actions involved in each of these issues is almost similar. These reckless human behaviors have cost the world significantly as many parts of the world have to deal with the great adverse effects as a result of the human actions. Apparently, in some regions of the world the administration seems to be doing very little to almost nothing to resolve such issues (Radavoi & Bian, 2014). Description of the photos Garbage Strike Photo The photo shows how many people tend to dispose garbage in town areas in the wrong manner. In this case, the garbage should be put in the dust bin, but since the people responsible for clearing it have neglected their duty or the government or administration of the town has failed to places enough dustbins in the town, the garbage has been disposed off outside the litter bin. This is a common issue in many towns that affects the cleanliness and hygiene levels of the people residing in such towns. Such disposal of waste causes great pollution to the environment especially after it rains and some of the wastes get carried away by floods. It is a challenge that many governments and local administration need to solve as failure to do so increases the risk of people suffering from various ailments caused by such garbage disposals. It is necessary to have recycle companies that can be sorting out some of the garbage and recycling that garbage that can be put into other use after recycling (Radavoi & Bian, 2014). For example, from the photo there are plastic cans and some clothes. These are items that can easily be recycled. People can also be educated in possible ways to make other use of such items. This will significantly reduce the waste that is disposed in towns and other such areas. Reduction of such waste would ensure the environment remains clean and tidy. It would also improve on the general health of the residents in these areas as they would be living a conducive and clean environment (Dixon, et al. 2013).

Cameroon-Congo Logging Tree Turner Forests form a very important aspect of the environment. Without enough trees in the environment many aspects of life get distracted and affected. This makes it crucial to protect trees and stop all forms of deforestation as this only serves to affect the environment adversely. The rain forests of Cameroon and Congo regions that highly affect the rainfall in most parts of the world because of the winds they support are at a great danger as many people in those regions are deforesting them. Considering that most of the trees in these forests are natural hard wood trees, it is crucial that policies be put in place to reduce the logging practice that has reduced the tress significantly. This will be to save the ecological system as these forests besides helping bring rain and clear the air, they serve as habitats to many animals. As such the greedy nature of people, which makes them, cut down the trees for their own selfish benefits only serves to reduce the trees and affect the ecological system. Putting in place measures that control the practice will not only help regain the good nature of the ecology system, but also help protect the natural habitats of the many animals that live in these forests (Dixon, et al. 2013). Traffic There are various traffic related environmental issues that affect the society. These issues range from air pollution as a result of the various gas emissions these cars produce and noise pollution as a result of the hooting of the cars. Traffic noise, which is steadily increasing, is considered to be an important environmental health problem. The aim of this study was to estimate the degree of annoyance and sleep disturbance related to road traffic noise in residential settings in an urban community (Barrett, 2013). The study is based on a questionnaire on environmentally related health effects distributed to a stratified random sample of 1000 individuals, 19-80 years old, in a municipality with heavy traffic in the county of Stockholm. The response rate was 76%. The individual noise exposure was estimated using evaluated noise dispersion models and local noise assessments. There was some habituation to noise for problems related to sleep but not for annoyance. The prevalence of both annoyance and sleep problems was higher when bedroom windows were facing streets. People living in apartments had more sleep problems compared to people living in detached or semi-detached houses. In conclusion traffic noise exposure, even at low levels, was associated with annoyance and sleep disturbance. Access to a quiet side seemed to be a major protective factor for noise related problems (Dixon, et al. 2013). There were clearly several habituations to help noises for difficulties related to sleep but is not for infuriation. Your incidence regarding both infuriation as well as insomnia ended up being higher any time master bedroom glass windows ended up experiencing roads. Men and women surviving in apartments received far more insomnia when compared to folks surviving in indifferent or maybe semi-detached houses. To summarize site visitors noises coverage, possibly at minimal degrees, ended up being regarding infuriation as well as sleep hindrance. Access to some sort of silent area appeared to be an important protecting aspect for noises related difficulties (Barrett, 2013).

Smoking as an Environmental Issue The picture shows a main smoking in a car, with a child present. This is one of the most common forms of pollution in the world, where people smoke in public, without caring about the health of the people around them. Merely look around. They're everywhere you go. Cig butts are generally the most typical toxic squander seen in cleanups as well as the main piece found on Los Angeles highways. And contrary to popular belief, they just don't rot entirely (Dixon, et al. 2013). 1.	The toxic chemical compounds throughout cigarette smoking butts are a danger to the aquatic ecosystems. 2.	The ingredients which leach out are generally very toxic to help freshwater micro-organisms. 3.	In 2010, over one particular trillion smoking cigarettes ended up removed from Los Angeles shorelines as well as away from the coast rivers included in the 12-monthly International Resort Clean-up (Dixon, et al. 2013). World-wide approximately 1. 69 billion kilos of cigarette smoking butts end up as squander each and every year. Research executed by the Los Angeles Division regarding Vehicles found which cigarette smoking butts make-up 34 percentages on the overall squander grabbed throughout Los Angeles (Dixon, et al. 2013; Radavoi & Bian, 2014). Your output regarding smoking cigarettes is extremely detrimental to the atmosphere. It's estimated that one particular shrub will be ingested for each more than 200 smoking cigarettes made: that's one particular shrub for each one particular 5 cartons (Dixon, et al. 2013). Using tobacco presents an immediate danger to the jungles, properties as well as recreational areas. 12 Discarded cigarette smoking butts are already linked with substantial wildfires, leading to the actual break down regarding fauna, plants as well as house. Cigarette-induced shoots assert countless existence throughout Los Angeles each and every year, not forgetting the actual vast amounts throughout house destruction (Barrett, 2013; Dixon, et al. 2013). As such, from the analysis above it is clear that cigarette smoking is one of the main forms of air pollution experienced in most parts of the world. Many people who smoke in public are often not aware of the serious repercussions their habits have on others as well as the environment. They tend to think they are having fun, but fail to realize they are doing so at the expense of other members of the society. It is necessary that they stop the behavior before it gets out of hand and ends up destroying many people’s lives and health. Apparently, many are still adamant of it like the man in the picture who is smoking in the presence of his child in the car (Yearley, 2014). To sum up, the information on this paper can be used by various scholars in environmental issues, national and regional administrators and various decision makers in the formulation of strategies to minimize environmental pollution. The paper seeks to explain various environmental issues that affect the society and various parts of the world. References Barrett, E. C. (2013). Introduction to environmental remote sensing.
