Water Pollution
About Environment , first thing came to our mind will be pollution. Now a days, pollution problem has goes seriously day by day. Pollution of Water in our country Malaysia, could be seen easily, especially the beach site and the river on the country site.
The link and image above was shot by one of our group member from a river that near his home in Jalan Ipoh(Malaysia). From the video we could see that the river in that area was brown in colour and full of garbage in it, Beside river certain beach in Malaysia have the same issue as well.
Resident and the government did not doing the good work for our environment. When encountered heavy rain, the river will flooded up to the resident home beside the river. This cause the garbage flood in to the resident home. and sometimes heavy garbage that make of steel might harm and damage those villagers home.
Everyone could do something or the river, for our member that live near the river, he never ever trow a single rubbish in the river for the 15years that living in there. We don't see this a small matter everyone could do it, but if everyone was doing this the river won't have a single garbage on it.
For future, The only hope now was government could do a little clean up job for the river at least one time for a few month and villagers that live near the area could paid attention for those who are harming the river and resident there that trowing garbage to the river for their own convenient.
About Noise and Noise Pollution
Noise pollution was a very comment pollution that happens in our life everyday, less of us will realize that they has became a victims of sound pollution. Why we said that because sound pollution is a kind of pollution which couldn't be seen by eye and we can only feel it thru our own ear.
For details Explanation about Sound pressure as we hear it, is measured in decibels (dB). Generally, a normal conversation between two people measures 60 dB, a whisper measures 30 dB and shouting measures 80 dB. our ears start felt paining when noise of around 120 dB. Noise around 85 dB is harmful to our ears, especially when it happen continuous. In fact, continuous exposure will cause a range of health problems, most obvious among which is damage to the eardrums and cause hard on hearing low tune voice.
Noise pollution separate to indoor and outdoor categories. Indoor could be loud music, the use of electrical item such as drill, and decorating home with the use of hammer in a night time. Outdoor noise that we could see commonly was bring out by vehicle. Image below show the a picture of sound pollution by airplane toward the resident that live near airport in America.
Imagine you are the one that live on that area, always contact with noise pollution while in the outdoor and now take a break at home have to faces the noise pollution at home as well. Notice that airline goes on 24hours everyday which mean everyday huge noise will be heard every hour.
Beside that noise pollution could be soft in certain ways, there a certain earmuffs design to avoid noise while sleeping. If you are living in the area that always connect with noise, take sometime of having vacation that avoid from the country site, a place that are nature and with and fresh air such as jungle or beach. Please do take care your ear and other people, always speak in a low tune, doing home decorate in a correct time, and avoid horn if unnecessary in certain place like school and hospital.
Without air and water, the earth would be unable to sustain life.
Air pollution occurs when the air contains gases, dust, fumes or odour in harmful amounts. That is, amounts which could be harmful to health or comfort of humans and animals or which could cause damage to plants and materials.
The substances that cause air pollution are called pollutants. Pollutants that are pumped into our atmosphere and directly pollute the air are called primary pollutants. Primary pollutant examples include carbon monoxide from car exhausts and sulfur dioxide from the combustion of coal.
Further pollution can arise if primary pollutants in the atmosphere undergo chemical reactions. The resulting compounds are called secondary pollutants. Photochemical smog is an example of this.
Cars and Air Pollution
Fossil fuel combustion, particularly as it occurs in motor vehicles, has been identified as the largest contributor to air pollution in the world.
Not all pollution produced by cars is the same. In fact, there are two types of pollution discharge by petrol vehicles.
Fuel vapour can seen coming out of the car’s petrol tank when you fill up at the service station, and can be reduced if we avoid spilling petrol and overfilling our cars. Properly fitted fuel caps can also stop further leakage of fuel vapours.
Recycle
As a human in this world,everyone have the responsibility to protect the world,this is our earth,where we live forever, so we should take more action to prevent the world sick, for the first step, we should stop throwing rubbish in the road or burning rubbish, we should throw all the things to recycle, plastic,paper and etc.
Ministry

Resources and Environment, abbreviated as NRE.
We reckon, there are many citizens out there, haven’t got a
clue about what the ministry does.. So here goes, some information we would
like to share with everyone regarding NRE’s responsibilities.
