Environmental changes during COVID-19

Covid-19 pandemic would seem to be positive for the environment. After the outbreak of the coronavirus, many countries had adopted lockdown procedures that stopped people from moving out and for shops and other establishments to close down. As World Environment Day 2020 nears, we take a look at the positive impact the COVID-19 lockdown has had on the environment. 

Impact of COVID-19 lockdown on Environment: 

Air Quality: After the lockdown was put in place in many countries, there was lesser travelling done by people, whether it be by their own cars, or by trains and flights. Even industries were closed down and not allowed to function. This in turn led to the pollution in the air dropping significantly, as there was a marked decline in Carbon Mono Oxide emission. 

Water Quality: Since there were no boats, whether they be fishing or pleasure ones, plying on the rivers and waterways, the water has cleared up. In areas like Venice, the water became so clear that the fish could be seen and there was better water flow. No doubt, because of the lesser human footfall even the oceans are recovering and marine life is thriving. 

Effect on Wildlife: Due to lockdown, animals had been spotted moving about freely where once they would not dare to go. Even sea turtles had been spotted returning to areas they once avoided to lay their eggs, all due to the lack human interference.

We envision a world where everyone including individuals & organisation are operating carbon neutrally i.e. erasing your carbon footprint by adopting sustainable practices and paying by erasing their unavoidable carbon footprint.
