Abstract
With the rapid development of the economy, environmental problems have become increasingly prominent. Environmental pollution and degradation have become global problems. Environmental problems, such as global warming, ozone depletion, smog, and water pollution, have largely affected economic development and social progress for the next generations. With the increase in the number of people and the consumption of resource-based companies, coal, oil, natural gas, and other non-renewable energy sources are gradually decreasing or even being depleted. The use of these non-clean energy sources exacerbates the deterioration of the environment.
