Increase in population and consumption of all the natural resources has placed excessive burden on the environment. Reserves are getting exhausted but the regeneration is not on par which is causing reduction in carrying capacity of environment, resulting in ecological imbalance. The current environmental crisis includes ozone layer depletion and global warming. Global warming is the result if increase of greenhouse gases (particularly CO2) and it is increasing the temperature of earth causing melting of polar ice which is making water levels in the sea levels to increase. Also ozone layer depletion is caused due to excess use of CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbon). Increased UV radiation will cause skin cancer in individuals. Therefore these factors are most concerning of all issues currently.
