What factor causes Environmental pollution
The most basic solution to air pollution comes from fossil fuels and replaces them with renewable energy, clean energy such as solar, geothermal, and wind. Switching to environmentally friendly modes of transport such as electric and hydrogen vehicles, promoting shared mobility, traffic congestion and public transport will also reduce air pollution. The world is working to reduce emissions of hazardous gas vehicles that in various ways cause air pollution such as emissions control, electric vehicles, and hybrid and public transport systems so that we can manage and reduce pollution in the future.

10 Endangered Species and What You Can Do to Revive Them
There are 41,415 animals on the IUCN Red List of critically endangered species, an unfortunate statistic that shows us just how much work we need to do to help wildlife thrive. In the US, the Endangered Species Act is a helpful guide to some endangered species, but to really help animals, we must focus our attention worldwide. There are lots of things you can do to help revive animals on the endangered species list—from donating your time or money to a worthwhile organization to supporting animal charities by supporting wildlife conservation efforts, like Untamed Photographer. All profits from our limited-edition prints go straight to environmental causes.

A Lesson from my Father
My father named me Ishmael. I suspect that he did it as a joke, somehow knowing that I would grow up to work on boats. He certainly didn’t do it because of a love of Herman Melville’s writing; other than the Sunday papers, largely for the obituaries and sports pages, he read very little. He wasn’t Jewish either. No, my father was the sort of Christian who attended church every couple of Sundays each month (ours was a run-down little Presbyterian chapel, its white paint stripped in parts by sea foam and salt air) but otherwise thought little of religion. That was probably why things didn’t work out with my mother, who thought a great deal about religion (but of course, made an exception when signing the divorce papers).

1910 Halley's Comet
Named after astronomer Edmond Halley, Halley's Comet only passes by Earth every 76 years or so. When it buzzed our planet in 1910, it sparked a lot of interest — according to Wired.com, telescope sales skyrocketed as the comet neared. Hotels even offered special deals, so people could gather on top of their roofs to watch the meteor pass.

Can Large-Scale Telecommuting Save The Environment?
It feels like 2020 was a year of unmitigated disaster, filled with nothing but doom and gloom. However, while the pandemic was terrible (and is far from over at time of writing), some of our efforts to mitigate it had further-reaching effects than we expected. All you had to do was scroll through social media some time in the past year to see posts of people marveling at clear-running waters usually choked with detritus, or posting pictures of clear skies in places like Los Angeles, to get a sense of the visible effects that everyone staying home for a while had on the environment.

Is Alcohol Good Is Killing Germs?
If you are not prepared to wash your hands with at least 20 seconds of soap and water, the CDC suggests using alcohol-based hand sanitizers that contain at least 60 percent ethyl alcohol (listed as "ethanol," "ethyl alcohol", "isopropanol" or "2-propanol" on the label). The FDA has also put some of these products on import warnings in Mexico, which can help prevent products that appear to violate these regulations from entering the US until the FDA reviews product safety.

Why We Get Infected From Any Diseases
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a bacterium that lives in the intestines of animals and humans and emits feces. When a dead animal decomposes, bacteria present in the animal's body are released, exposing humans to potentially pathogenic agents. Humans can become infected if they eat contaminated food, but infections can also occur through direct contact with infected animals or objects or when infected animals contaminate infected people.
