The Covid-19 outbreak has been actively terminating down entire cities, counties, industries, and businesses. Plans have been annulled, and entire offices have been shutting down because of these problems. And the biggest change of all has been the low traffic on the roads. Since people have stopped going out altogether or have been redistricted to, traffic is nearly nonexistent. And the biggest positivity in all of this is the fact that the environment is getting better!
Our environment has recently taken a serious toll. With huge gas emissions from industries and with the trees cutting down. Though coronavirus has been able to put everything to a stop, our environment has been flourishing like never before.
How has the environment improved during the pandemic?
No traffic.
With severe lockdowns and limits to travel and even step out for minimal activities, there is hardly any traffic on the road. The smoke emissions from the vehicles have significantly come down, due to which the environment is clear and cleaner.
Industries have stalled.
Perhaps the biggest environmental pollutant is the smoke from large factories and industries since most of them have stopped working and many have stalled altogether. There are very few CO2 emissions. It has been reported that the ozone layer that protects the earth from ultraviolet radiation has also started to recover.
The air quality has improved.
There has been a significant improvement in the air quality ever since the pandemic started. Since gases such as CO, CO2, and NO2 are the greatest pollutants in the air. And since they are no longer being produced more, the air quality is getting better.
Wildlife preservation.
Humans have stopped coming out of their homes, and the wildlife is thriving. There is no killing, and the air and water have uninterrupted freedom that is making animals thrive.
Conclusion.
Covid-19 is a disease that has affected the lives of every human on earth. But, our environment is getting better and cleaner every day. Perhaps it will allow us to see how it will thrive in the future if we limit pollution.
