Six common use things which will end up in future

Six necessary things which we will lose in the future

We are slowly beginning to feel the pain of lack of resources.

Almost all of us have read that the water problem is getting worse or the oil and bee population is declining but there are many other things that we can lose just because of mismanagement.

These are the things that affect us in our daily lives. The number of things that are in danger of end is very large. Here we will talk about six things which we use frequently directly or indirectly in or our daily life. These things have a deep effect on our everyday life. 

1. Sand

You may be thinking that even the sand may disappear from the world. We have so many deserts and beaches where there is only sand.

But the fact is that sand and gravel are the most widely used solids in the world. According to the United Nations, it is not growing as fast as it should.

The sand created over thousands of years by natural erosion is used daily on large-scale in construction work, water purification, recycling of bean-infested land, our window panes, and mobile phone parts. 

This loss of sand is threatening vulnerable for ecosystems. That is why there is a growing demand for rules and regulations to monitor the use of this resource globally.

2. Bananas

Bananas are the most consumed fruit all over the world. It is the most favorite fruit all over the world. It is liked by young, old and children equally. The annual consumption of bananas stands at 114.13 million metric tons. They are mostly consumed ripe in most parts of the world. However, raw bananas are also cooked in some parts of the world. Bananas are also used to make flavors that are used to bake cakes. They are a preferred fruit because of their availability all year round and their high nutritional value.

 Most commercially grown bananas are infected with the fungus Panama.

The bananas we eat belong to the type of banana which is called Cavendish. The fungus Panama can spread rapidly in this species of banana.

This has happened before. In 1950, the disease wiped out the entire banana crop around the world, prompting farmers to abandon the Grass Mitchell variety and grow the Cavendish variety.

Researchers are working to develop a variety of nails that are resistant to mildew and delicious to eat.

3. Helium

Colorful balloons are commonly used for celebrations and are then released into the air. But your conscience may reprimand you for knowing that the helium gas reserves in them are also limited.

This gas is extracted from the depths of the earth, and perhaps only a few decades of reserves remain.

According to some estimates, the effects of this gas shortage will begin to show within 30 to 50 years.

Lack of it will not only dampen the festivities but will also affect our medical treatment as this gas can also be used to cool the magnets of an MRI or internal imaging machine.

It has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and brain and cerebral palsy.

4. Soil for cultivation  plants and crops

Although there is no immediate threat of declining arable land, our mismanagement has raised concerns.

The top soil is the place where plants get most of their food. The World Wildlife Fund, a non-governmental organization working for wildlife, estimates that more than half of the Earth's crust has been lost in the last 150 years, and that only an inch-thick layer of natural restoration may take 500 years.

Deforestation, over-cultivation, erosion and global warming are thought to be damaging the arable land. This is the layer on which our food production depends.

5. Phosphorus

Phosphorus does not seem to interfere with our daily lives.

In fact, it is not only biologically necessary for the structure of human DNA, but it is also an important component of synthetic fertilizers for which there is no known alternative.

Previously, it was returned to the soil from which it was obtained through plant and animal waste. But now that it is in the crop, it is moving to cities, from where it is being washed away and lost in the drainage system.

The pace at which things are progressing suggests that phosphorus reserves will only last for 35 to 40 years, after which we will starve.

6.  Space in Earth's orbit

In 2019, about 500,000 objects or fragments were orbiting around the Earth. Of these, only 2,000 were active, the satellites that we use in our daily lives to communicate, GPS or watch our favorite TV shows. The rest is debris left behind by rockets as they enter space or created by the collision of different objects in orbit.

Collisions between objects in orbit pose a threat to our phones and other networks. These 500,000 bodies are the ones we are observing while it is increasing daily.

As technology improves, it is becoming easier to send things into orbit.

This may be good news for humans, but unlike our roads, there is no system in place to control sky traffic. We also do not have a system to clean up debris or useless or inactive satellites orbiting the earth.

The addition of these bodies to Earth's orbit has increased the risk of collisions. In such a case, the networks that allow us to use our mobile phones, know the weather, view world maps or do other things related to orientation and GPS can be damaged.

Work is underway to find a solution to this problem, but so far no significant success has been achieved.
