Pollution
How are environmental issues caused? The environment doesn’t only affect us physically, but also mentally. That’s right, we need proper environmental conditions, including air quality, water, and temperature, to survive. If these three things aren’t right, then our mental state could become affected. Some people even consider their mood swings to be caused by a change in weather. However, if you want to maintain a positive mindset while battling depression, anxiety, and stress, then you need to take care of the environment around you.

10 Fascinating Mysteries Involving Spiders
10 Blue Tarantulas There are more than 850 known species of tarantulas worldwide. Some can shoot excrement as a form of defense, while others can grow to be as large as a human face. Then there are those that are bright blue in color for no apparent reason. Experts believe that the hue blue has a significant function. They "do not yet know what that [particular] role is," though. The most likely theory relates to sexual selection. Scientists hypothesize that the tarantulas' bright hue aids in luring prospective mates. However, Bor-Kai Hsiung of the University of Akron argues that this theory is unlikely to be accurate because tarantulas have extremely weak eyesight despite having eight eyes.

Rising temperatures have caused the largest glacier in Antarctica to fall off, covering an area of 4,320 square kilometers and 4 New York
A major side effect of the sharp increase in carbon dioxide is the formation of the greenhouse effect, which causes the earth's temperature to rise year by year. According to statistics from the past 200 years, the average temperature has grown from 14.5 ℃ in the early 19th century to more than 15 ℃. The general trend of population growth, coupled with reliance on high-tech products, will increase carbon dioxide emissions.

We’re Running Out of Seafood, Yet We Waste Billions of Pounds of It
A 2015 study published in Global Environmental Change estimates that every year, almost half the seafood supply in the United States is lost, amounting to nearly 500 million pounds of protein waste. Globally, we lose 110 billion pounds. Considering the US Department of Agriculture recommends that the average person consume at least 1.7 ounces of protein per day, this lost seafood is enough to feed more than 2.7 million people for an entire year. Relatedly, this particular form of food waste further contributes to overfishing, which has of course precipitated a steep decline in marine wildlife populations.
