Environmental problems are probably the most vital issues nowadays. It is difficult to point out one as the main but what is more important is that almost everything is caused by human activities. Climate change is a live subject right now so let's cover it first. It's also first on the list simply because so many of the problems related to climate change are also connected to other environmental problems.

Climate change occurs when greenhouse gases are unleashed and entrapped in the atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect. One of the gases is carbon dioxide. It appears in the atmosphere when fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas are burned. It is also released when trees and other plants are burned or cut down and through manufacturing cement.
