„Be ECO, be GREEN!”

WE RECYCLE TODAY, WE LIVE TOMORROW

Nowadays everybody is concerned with environmental problems and nature pollution.

We hear a lot about environmental crisis and global warming, greenhouse effect and
deforestation. Yet, we still move the way of industrialization and consumer-oriented lifestyle.

To begin with, we should reduce pollution, because it’s the cause of numerous
problems. We must not litter in the streets, parks and forests. We should recycle wastes in
order to save our priceless natural resourses and we should always responsibly recycle
electronics and e-waste, not just dump them in the landfills. Furthermore we should use
public transport more frequently, because it does not release numerous harmful gases, which
cause greenhouse effect and global warming.

Next, entrepreneurs should use special filters at plants, factories and power stations
in order to reduce the amount of poisonous emissions into the air and water. Then, people
should stop cutting down forests, because they are the lungs of Earth.

It is obvious that industrial breakthrough has changed our life greatly but it has even
greater impact on nature. People should reconsider their attitude to nature and renovate
production process. We should think critically about the present and anticipate events in the
future. We have a world ticking bomb of marine crisis, pollution, shrinking forests and
endangered wildlife. What will be our world like in fifty years if we will exploit natural
resources at a present rate?

This advice will help essentially to protect nature and environment. Eco-friendly
behavior will substantially improve natural environment around you and on the Earth in the
whole. The future is ours to make. You should not miss a chance to make a difference.

Begin with yourself and help to save the world.
