The air we breathe

• Every year world industry pollutes the atmosphere with about 1000 million tons of dust and other harmful substances.
• Big cities suffer from smog.
• Cars with their engines have become the main source of pollution in industrial countries.

The water we drink

• Two-thirds of the world’s surface is water. Many seas are used for dumping industrial and nuclear wastes. Many rivers and lakes dry up or are poisoned too .
• Fish dies in the lakes, rivers and seas .
• If people drink this water, they can get ill or even die.

The land we live on

• People cut down trees and many birds and animals can’t have homes in their usual places and they begin dying out.
• As a result some species of animals, birds, fish and plants have disappeared and keep disappearing.

Environmental protection. What should people do to survive?

• The time has come to save our planet, to protect people, animals and plants from dying.
• First of all countries should have strong laws to control pollution, to protect animals and plants.
• Governments should also find ways to recycle things. They should build recycling factories.

Ecology: First of all it is the relationship of humans and Nature. All of us depend on Nature. We must value and protect it. Ecology is the science, which study our planet from the “points of view” such natural things as plants, animals, insects etc. I think ecology is Nature itself.

The causes of the ecological problems:One of the most important problems for future of humanity is ecological problems, because people destroy our beautiful planet! So people create these problems themselves!People kill the animals, cars pollute the environment.We forget rubbish in the forests or just throw it in the forests. People have been polluting the Earth for many centuries! Pollution of the air, water and soil, using poisonous substances in industry, forest destruction, this carelessness can become a cause of scary future problems, such as acid rains, very high or low temperature, radiation, holes in ozone layer etc.

The RESULTS: The water is really important for life in the Earth, but a lot of rivers, lakes and springs are becoming dirty today. Such water is not good for drinking even for wild animals and plants. What will happen with them if they are not be able to drink? Our life depends on plants and animals – they are our brothers, of course, but they are our food at the same time. They help us to live and to survive!

This planet is our home because we have everything for us. We can breathe here because of oxygen which we need. But in any forest we see broken trees and pulled up flowers, camp-fires and the tons of rubbish after previous visitors. Our life is destroyed with our own hands!

WHAT TO DO?There are many discussions and arguments between scientists, politicians, philosophers and ordinary people. How can we stop the future catastrophe, which unfortunately is going because of people’s influence? In my opinion everybody can do many things to protect our planet! For example, the first step is to put rubbish into the rubbish bins.If you want the air to be clean, you mustn’t smoke in the streets (and everywhere), we mustn’t crash the forests and so on!Many people work as the volunteers – they clean the forests, built foster homes and do all the best!

Fortunately there are many environmental organizations all over the world, for example Greenpeace, WWF, London Wildlife Trust, The Friends of the Earth and so on. I think it is a really important step of humanity. I mean this situation is not so hopeless.
IN CONCLUSION it’s important to say that even if people consider themselves the top of the nature chain in the world they have to behave themselves in a correct way! Animals and plants depend on us and our good or bad activities. They have the right to live in the Earth happily too, that’s why we should not trouble them for our needs only. Let’s protect and respect them because we live together in this beautiful planet, depend on them and visa versa!
