Nowadays, we have seen how we are destroying our planet, continent, country and city. In this case Choco is being destroyed by us because we haven't realized good acts with our environment !
As you can see Choco is suffering a serious problem such as:

1. Land pollution
2. air pollution
3. water pollution
4. Noise pollution

Thanks to those problem every day our habitat is being destroyed.


LAND POLLUTION


Soil contamination is favored by the low rate of degradation of the compounds.These can be classified into various types according to their nature and origin.pollutants can be:

Organic Waste: Coming from plant and animal elements.

Inorganic waste: They include metal, plastic, paper, glass, textiles, and many other compounds.

Dust from industrial emissions and different elements mix with water are absorbed by the soil.





AIR POLLUTION


Choco has struggled with the environment through:

The use of aerosols, and generally any activity that releases chlorofluorocarbons, collaborate with the reduction of the ozone layer. Halocarbons also bromine and nitrogen oxides produced in the fertilizer industry nitrofosforados, assist in the reduction of the ozone layer.

acid rain

Nitrogen oxides and sulfur, which are released widely by industry (link) are themain participants in the formation of acid rain. The cardboard and paper industry, the production of nitric acid and automotive, among others, recorded in such emissions.







WATER POLLUTION


According to the World Health Organization, it is considered that water is polluted when its composition or state are altered so that under these conditions can't be used for different applications to do in their natural state. These alterationsmay occur on the physical, biological and chemical water, it is reducing their potable water for human consumption and it is destroying the agriculture and farms.
The increase in water sulfide, ammonia, nitrates and acid substances, the effect of shedding either agricultural, industrial or residential, can cause various diseases after consumption.


THE WATER POLLUTION CAN DESTROY THE ANIMAL, HUMAN AND PLANT LIFE!




NOISE POLLUTION


High levels of noise can be caused by industries (with 50% of the total emission), traffic and air.
Noise pollution causes damage to the organ of hearing which may range from the so-called auditory fatigue to acoustic trauma simply mean the irreversible loss of hearing. The noise in industry is one of the most critical problems related to occupational health.







SOLUTIONS:

As you know, there are many causes of pollution.  There are also many ways to prevent pollution.  We need to keep on thinking of ways to prevent pollution:

  • Some ways to prevent pollution are to try to persuade families to only have one car.  They would save some money and it would save our planet. 
  •  You could also make some flyers and give them to some neighbors that live near you. 
  •  You could encourage more people who live close to work to walk or ride a bike.  It would save them the trouble of finding a parking space.  
  • Make sure your wastewater and stormwater pipes are correctly plumbed.
  • Throw trash in the proper places.
  • To public advertisements asking the people to recycle or to help the city... and our home, the EARTH.
  • Reduce, reuse, and recycle things in your house.
  • Because of water run-off, don't put oils down the storm drain.
  • Cut the plastic ties on sodas so they don't hurt animals in case the ties in up in the bay.
  • Store all liquid chemicals and wastes in an appropriate matter.
  • New regulations for vehicles so that forces the owners to operate in the best manner possible and with the best technology available.

 All of these ideas are great.


Saving Energy at home can help you reduce air emissions.

  2. In my opinion, Choco is one of the poorest city in Colombia, and it has lots of social problems, and these problems affect the people who live there and the nature, but what happen with the government? the government has to help this department to be better, but the people who live there never have received nothing.
    And it is an different way to show what happen in this department forgotten.

OMG that's terrible, Choco has a very important resources which can be very useful. Receives many fishing income. However the government has to do something about it because they deserve society support.

  9. but CHOCO is one of the richest departments in wildlife, flora, natural resources, mining and many more, for many years has been destroyed by the war going there and worse by the lack of control and oversight mechanisms for regional authorities , so by this department is one of the most corrupt in our country, filling it only poverty.

  15. In my opinion, Choco is one of the poorest departments of Colombia, due to social problems that occur daily, causing displacement and famine. It is also a department that can contribute to the development of our country and for that you must work in teams, in order to build identity and leave a footprint of development, as the government has never supported this department.
