Environmental protection
(Sample)
Nowadays, environmental problems are the most burning for
the society. Air, water, land and nuclear pollution badly damage the
nature. People cut down trees and destroy the habitats of animals. As
a result, many species are in danger of extinction. Factories pollute
rivers and lakes with dangerous chemicals. The increasing number
of cars in cities has led to the growth of harmful gases in the
atmosphere. There is much litter everywhere, our parks and forests
are full of rubbish.
Scientists stress that the problem of global warming is
becoming more and more serious. The results of human activity such
as acid rains, greenhouse effect and ozone layer destruction cause
changes of the climate and destroy the planet. All these facts have a
bad influence on our health. More and more people suffer from
allergies and breathing problems.
No doubt environmental protection is of primary importance
today. Firstly people should use natural resources in a rational way
and look for alternative sources of energy such as wind and solar
energy. Secondly we can create parks for endangered species of
animals. We should also use public transport instead of cars to cut
down air pollution. If we stop wasting paper and start recycling it,
we’ll save millions of trees.
But the most important thing we must do is to act immediately.
The Earth is our home and we should protect and save it for
ourselves and for the future generations.
