D) Long term damage to environment in recharge.

There is another function that the environment provides. It is to absorb and render harmless the waste and pollution from various activities. Unwanted by-products of production and consumption say exhaust gases from combustion, water used to clean products, discarded packaging and goods no longer wanted are absorbed by the environment. This is as important as the source function.

The “sink function” describes an environment’s ability to absorb and render harmless waste and pollution. When waste output exceeds the limit of the sink function, long-term damage to the environment occurs.

Irrigation and power have been produced and both are central to modern development.

D) The use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides

For people who have been displaced modern development has been unjust and destructive. Because they have lost access to their greater resource, the local environment. Without the local environment, their lives would be reduced to nothing.

To, 

The District Collector,

Visakhapatnam District, 

Visakhapatnam. 

Respected Sir,

I am Srinivasa Rao, the resident of Gajuwaka. I would like to bring a few lines to your notice about problems of environment in our local area. 

In our locality the migrant number is increasing. They are coming to city because of their needs and problems but it leads to new problems here. Water supply, sewage and other waste disposal, transportation and pollution problems are arising. There are plastic covers on the roads everywhere. Many animals on the roads eat those covers and die. As the garbage is increasing and it is not properly cleaned, unbearable stench is spread. There may be a scope for different diseases. 

I request you to take proper effective measures wherever polluted industries are there and they should be shut down and minimize polluted plying vehicles and reduce the release of greenhouse gases.

Yours faithfully,

Opinion on Paragraph : 

1.  Industrialisation in the world has brought a lot of material comforts for humans to lead a happy life. 
2.  Man has invented from small pin to big plane with these metals obtained by mining. 
3.  But at the same time the minerals are reducing in their quantity because man’s short sighted ness. 
4.  As a result of man’s greediness the natural resources such as metals and fossil fuels are declining and threatening our planet to fell in danger. 
5.  Because of over use of these resources, climatic changes are going on with the depletion of ozone layer damage and environment degradation.

I conclude that this type of growth does not create sustainable development to the planet and further it becomes unjustifiable in degrading our environment. 

In the past fifty years of economic development, both these functions of the environment have been overused. This has been said to affect the carrying capacity of the environment, i.e., the capacity of the environment to support economic production and consumption in the future.
