The ocean plays an important role in shaping our climate and weather patterns. Warm ocean waters provide the energy to fuel storm systems that provide fresh water vital to all living things.

The ocean influences weather and climate by storing solar radiation, distributing heat and moisture around the globe, and driving weather systems. Land areas also absorb some sunlight, and the atmosphere helps to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.

The oceans influence climate by absorbing solar radiation and releasing heat needed to drive the atmospheric circulation, by releasing aerosols that influence cloud cover, by emitting most of the water that falls on land as rain, by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it for years to millions of …

The air we breathe: The ocean produces over half of the world’s oxygen and absorbs 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere. Climate regulation: Covering 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, the ocean transports heat from the equator to the poles, regulating our climate and weather patterns.

A healthy ocean regulates climate and reduce climate change impacts. The ocean also absorbs over 90% of the heat and approximately 30% of carbon dioxide emissions produced by human activities.

How can you help our ocean?

1. Conserve Water. Use less water so excess runoff and wastewater will not flow into the ocean.
2. Reduce Pollutants. Choose nontoxic chemicals and dispose of herbicides, pesticides, and cleaning products properly.
3. Reduce Waste.
4. Shop Wisely.
5. Reduce Vehicle Pollution.
6. Use Less Energy.
7. Fish Responsibly.
8. Practice Safe Boating.

On Days when High Particle Levels are Expected, Take these Extra Steps to Reduce Pollution:

1. Reduce the number of trips you take in your car.
2. Reduce or eliminate fireplace and wood stove use.
3. Avoid burning leaves, trash, and other materials.
4. Avoid using gas-powered lawn and garden equipment.

Exposure to such soils can cause a variety of short-term health problems such as headaches, coughing, chest pain, nausea, and skin/eye irritation. Prolonged exposure to contaminated soil can lead to the depression of the central nervous system and damage to vital organs (such as the liver).

Soil pollution can be reduced by proper regulated waste dumping and by avoiding littering, reduced use and throwing of toxic material, recycling of waste materials, decreasing the use of toxic fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, and instead opting for organic products, stop deforestation by growing more plants ( …

Soil pollution is defined as the presence of toxic chemicals (pollutants or contaminants) in soil, in high enough concentrations to pose a risk to human health and/or the ecosystem.

Here are 10 magnificent ways for prevention and control of soil pollution.

1. Get a better understanding of the soil environment quality baseline.
2. Develop necessary legislation on soil pollution control.
3. Proper management of agricultural land and the practice of organic farming.
4. Proper Solid Waste Treatment.

Cleanup options

1. Excavate soil and take it to a disposal site away from ready pathways for human or sensitive ecosystem contact.
2. Aeration of soils at the contaminated site (with attendant risk of creating air pollution)
