Rising Pollution and Population!


The recent ban on opening of schools and colleges and advising them to conduct education online proves that we are always ready to shut down anything which can be problematic for us. But this is not the solution of the problem because there are multiple reasons and multiple issues related to this. Not only the businesses shut down but also the people get sick and ill because of the harmful effects of this fog or smog. And, therefore, it needs to be discussed and debated at a very large level so that multiple solutions could be found and the debate me give the solution about the rising issues relevant to this. For example, when a business is closed not only the business owner suffers the laws but also the people who are associated with that business, they also suffer losses. Therefore, it is the need of the hour that we should reach the root cause or some root causes of this smog so that we may be able to find some curable workable and liable solutions.

Multiple reasons are being quoted by the government authorities as well as by the experts of this type of weather condition, but no one is paying any attention to the rising population of Pakistan. The graph of the population with respect to the sources has long been adversely or indirectly proportional to each other. Which means that the sources are depleting, and the population is increasing very speedily and as a result and consequently we need to put more effort we need to burn more fossil fuel, and we need to arrange extra ordinary food for such a large volume of population. This rising level of population does have its impact in the rising of temperature of the Earth as well as inviting suffocating air in the shape of Smog in major cities of the world. Imagine the number of young people who are born and become members of the society. All these people need more and more motorbikes as well as the motorcars and if they don’t possess any of such things they need more buses to travel on the roads and consequently there is more of the exhaust of harmful gases into the environment because of rising population of young people and consequently rising number of vehicles by such people. It means more the number of vehicles on the roads the more is the Content which converts this fog into smog and harmful effects of all these things. Imagine if we had made a concerted efforts in order to control our population we may need for lesser number of these vehicles and the use of fossil fuel and the environment would definitely be not only less hot in temperature but also very little contribution into making it worse. 


The time has come that stringent or strict measures must be taken in order to get rid of or reduce the impact of this poisonous smog. If the number of vehicles on the roads in the major cities can be controlled or can be rationed it will be possible to reduce the smoke in the environment by 50% like the city of Singapore who have a band the entry of motorcars for at least two days into the city roads. Consequently, they were able to keep their city as clean as possible. The the same maybe practiced in Pakistan not only by rationing the use of fossil fuel but also by converting all the motorbikes and rickshaws on battery operated Electric vehicles because that has proven to be the best way of preventing the occurrence of such phenomenon as that of smog. Not only does the city government must arrange buses to run on electricity and they should carry maximum number of computers to and from their workplaces that can result into production of polluted Content in the air.


Besides these mayors we need to introduce some plans for the control of population it is. It is said that either the population should be controlled or some measures to increase the available resources. Now in Pakistan, we may not be able to increase the resources. The sole solution is that we may be trying to reduce our population or at least attempting to control it because it is the only way through which number of environmental financial social and health issues can be cured. The need of the hour is also to plant as many trees as possible because plantation is the best way to reduce this carbon effect in our environment. But the plantation of trees must not be restricted to educational institutions only. We may look where the trees are needed to be planted and water can be easily supplied to these to maintain their health and proper functioning. This can be very useful if all the country is dotted with the presence of trees as it would help us reduce or control this pollution up to some extent. To give a better future to our next coming generations, we need to work on the rising temperatures pollution and especially the rising population. When we all join hands in not only doing preventive measures but also introducing revolutionary and innovative ways and means to control this rising poison in the air, we will be able to provide our next coming generations with a better future and be a better environment.
