    AI FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM SOLVING

                      The Earth is facing many serious environmental problems that need quick attention. Issues like
                      plastic pollution, air pollution, soil degradation, deforestation, poor waste management and loss
                      of wildlife are increasing every day. These problems are not limited to one country. They affect the
                      whole world and harm both people and animals. They also damage natural resources such as air,
                      water and soil, which are essential for life.

                      These  environmental  challenges  can  lead  to  health  problems,  climate  changes  and  loss  of
                      biodiversity. For example, polluted air can cause breathing difficulties, while cutting down forests
                      reduces the number of trees that provide oxygen and shelter for animals. If these problems are
                      not controlled, they can affect future generations and make the planet less safe to live on.

                      Artificial Intelligence is helping to tackle these problems in smart and effective ways. AI can study
                      large amounts of data quickly and find patterns that humans may miss. This helps scientists and
                      organisations understand environmental changes better and take timely action.

                      AI is used in many ways to protect the environment. It can track plastic waste in oceans and help in
                      cleaning it. It can monitor forests using satellite images and detect illegal cutting of trees. AI systems
                      can also study animal movements to protect endangered species and maintain biodiversity. In
                      cities, AI helps manage waste by improving recycling systems and reducing pollution levels.

                      AI is also used to predict weather changes and natural disasters such as floods or droughts. This
                      helps people prepare in advance and reduce damage. By using AI wisely, we can make better
                      decisions and take stronger steps to protect our planet.

                      Taking care of the environment is everyone’s responsibility. With the help of AI and human effort
                      together, it is possible to create a cleaner, safer and more sustainable world for the future.

                      Some of the most common environmental issues are explained below. Each one affects our daily
                      life and needs careful attention.

                      Plastic Pollution

                      Plastic pollution is  caused by the  excessive use
                      of plastic  materials  such  as bags,  bottles  and
                      packaging.  Plastic  does not  decompose  easily,
                      so it  stays  in the environment for  a long time.
                      It pollutes  land and water and harms animals,

                      especially  marine life that  may  eat  plastic  by
                      mistake.  Reducing  plastic  use,  recycling  and
                      choosing eco-friendly alternatives can help solve
                      this problem.

                      When you think of visiting the beach, you often imagine a peaceful walk along a sandy shoreline,
                      with seashells scattered around. Sadly, many beaches today are covered in plastic bottles, bags
                      and wrappers instead. This has become a common sight in coastal areas around the world.
