POLLUTION OF CYPRUS MINE CORPORATION
Introduction
In today’s world, the main environmental problem is probably the “pollution”. Air, water and land pollutions are all threats for people, and actually for all living species. World has been suffering from global warming, ozone depletion, climate change, pollution of drinking water and etc. These all are caused by pollutants which are spread into air or water or soil by anthropogenic activities. People use the natural sources of environment to produce energy, and actually they use those sources selfishly, without thinking about future generations. One of the main causes for these pollutions is population. When population starts to increase, our environment is being suffered from increasing amount of pollution. People start to build new factories, houses and etc. for living in better conditions by using the sources of nature. Of course there are consequences of these new buildings. Deforestation, increasing amount of cars, increasing amount of using fertilizers to produce more food in short term, huge amount of wastes from factories and industries are just a few examples of the results of increasing population. Waste control is one of the most important consequences, it is not the only thing but really important for sure. When production is increasing in a factory for example, there are also increasing amount of waste, and when this waste is not controlled it all goes into environment by polluting water, air or soil; or all three of them. As a result of this all people in the whole world are affected by this situation.

In addition, overpopulation causes economic and political factors such as more consumption per person and the reduction of resources that can be provided per person. This contributes to the strain on ecological systems and the economic and population growth. With overpopulation, many resources become finite and an umpteen amount of ecosystems are being destroyed. Overpopulation relates to the impact of humans on pollution. Obviously with more human life, there is more necessity for jobs such as factories that give off fumes, automobiles, and the use for burning fossil fuels. In greater extent, this leads to an environmental factor in that it accumulates chemicals in food chains such as mercury, arsenic, and copper. It can lead to political problems as well, when trying to interact with other countries and stop the problem of global pollution and eventually endin...

    There are various systems in handling population rates and its various issues that connect with threatening our environment. The population and environment debate will forever be a back and forth problem because there is possibly no way to completely stop carbon emissions but ease its production. To help the environment, we must incorporate all potential solutions in governing population such as family planning and governmental involvement and practice renewable resources and stop on using nonrenewable resources, as well as ways to tackle overconsumption to support our corrupting environment.
