Sometimes not everyone thinks about the extent of environmental damage. Therefore, we at AC Crowe Ukraine are convinced that the more people know about the ecological state of the environment, the more people will be concerned about environmental issues.

Below we present the facts, having learned about which, it is still worth reconsidering your environmental behavior.

  • The amount of carbon in the atmosphere is currently above 400 parts per million (ppm), the highest level in 800,000 years.
  • According to the United Nations, the amount of waste in the world increases every year and amounts to more than 2 billion tons annually.
  • According to the World Bank, about 90% of the world's population lives in places with high levels of air pollution.
  • The number of forests in the world is decreasing every year. According to the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), we lose about 10 million hectares of forests annually.
  • About 1 million species of animals and plants may disappear as a result of climate change already by 2050, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
  • The amount of plastic in the oceans is increasing every year. According to the Plastic Cycle, about 150 million tons of plastic are in the oceans.

These statistics emphasize the importance of adopting an ecological strategy and measures to preserve nature and reduce the impact of human activities on the environment!
