Environmental Advocacy



Environmental advocacy should be very seriously practiced to bring about a better change in our environment. Problems of global warming, melting of ice caps, extinction of animals, flooding of several areas, desertification and pollution are becoming more and more possessive of our earth. Environmental advocacy is coming out to be extremely rewarding for promoting reforms, environmental policies and social justice.

The green police believe we should reduce the usage of fossil fuels the burning of which releases dangerous gasses in the air. This will also save the fuel economy standards. We should insist on proper disposal of wastes and this should be more actively followed in the under developed and developed regions of there world. Arctic Ocean drilling should be strictly prohibited. Many NGOs and environmental organizations are starting environmental advocacy from the grass roots level.

Excessive usage of chemicals like pesticides and insecticides are reducing the nutrition and fertility levels of the soil. Over grazing and over multiple cropping done to get more yield is ultimately leaving the lands barren in the long term. Environmental advocacy works to influence the public in the social, economic, cultural and political stages. These advocates organize communities for a cause and operate for a positive result. Environmental advocacy requires the application of social strategies, removing social inequalities, ensuring sustainable development, imposition of environmental law, building of diversity, reinventing environmental activism and so on.
