Environment

By Ebraheem Mattar from Gaza

Environment means all things around us that are created by Allah without interference by human. This environment requires caring by someone; therefore, we as human beings since we have brains must take care and employ all means for this environment.

The environment consists of important things such as land, water, and air. The land includes plains, mountains, hills, and deserts, and the land is a part of environment which all life stands on.

Water is the most essential thing in life and our God Allah make everything alive from water, without it there is no life. Air is necessary for every creature on the earth, especially in breathing process. Therefore, environment includes the three most important things of every creature’s life.

Actually, there are a number of fundamental troubles that mainly confront the environment, particularly, in Gaza Strip, after siege imposed upon the enclave since 2007. The closure has been affecting many aspects of life especially environmental side, since most of Gaza families use electricity generators which produce numerous amounts of CO and CO2 poisonous material that harmful for environment, due to the electricity shortage.

Moreover, environment faces pollution not only in Gaza but it is a common general problem that faces all over the world especially in the advanced industrial countries and some countries which consumes big amounts of oil. Thus, affects environment negatively by the factories other sorts of pollution, while not having such a drastic effect on humans, damage our environment and spoil our quality of life. There are various types of pollution such as air pollution, water pollution, contaminated land and pollution of groundwater, noise pollution, light pollution and radiation.

In conclusion, our God creates mankind to build in the earth and develop it, so human being should be a good friend of environment by keeping it green and trying to avoiding polluting factors, to enjoy a clean and fresh environment full of health and happiness.
