How to Protect the Environment

Global warming is one of the biggest problems in the world. The earth suffers a lot of damage and
many of the forests are destroyed because of deforestation. But there are many ways in which we
can take care of the environment that you are going to learn in this essay. For example, we could
plant trees, make a recycling movement, avoid the burning of tires that affect the ozone layer or
avoid the soil erosion.
One of the greatest benefits for the environment and for us, as human beings, is planting trees. By
developing this, we can contribute to the process of air purification. There are other benefits that the
clean oxygen produces including formation of fertile soil, prevention of soil erosion, conservation
of rivers clean which serve as refuges for the fauna, and reduction of the ground temperature.
Another way in which we can protect the environment is through a recycling campaign.
This will bring benefits such as reduction of waste, preservation of resources and improve the way
in which recycled material are reused. This is another great way to show how much we care for the
environment and at the same time we are benefiting creative people who reuse materials in order to
improve their economic status.
