Pollution, including both in air and water, has become a big challenge in society. There are several factors contributed to this issue and multilevel collaborations are needed to gain a sustainable solution for the community.
The declining of this quality is caused by the phenomena of booming population happened in many developing countries in millennial era, such as China, India, and Indonesia. The amount of people consuming water increases, affecting the natural resources producing it become more limited. A big population also impacts to the air quality with many activities creating pollution. To solve these issues, people need to be educated with integrating the ethics of living sustain since primary school to develop literacy about environment.
The other major problem is the state’s ambition for the economic growth. This goal is generally thought can be gotten with prioritising industrialisation and developing infrastructure to invite investors. For example, the transportation improvement with paying road, providing the superfast train, deforestation for a new field of industry, and other facilities supporting economy. Being discipline to eager the environment standard for development and trade transactions is needed to cover this cause. We already have the regulation, but not the awareness to maintain and implement it for the future needs.
To Sum Up, the declining quality of water and air is caused by the increase of people, and the goal for achieving the economic growth needs to be balanced with many struggles to educate society about how to live well and stay friendly with the environment. Awareness for stabilising the living standard and ruling the regulation based on the interest about next generation are needed both in society and industry, with of course by the supervise of the state as the authority.
