The protection of the environment

Our Earth is our home. There are many big and small rivers, green forests, high mountains, lakes and seas. I think people must take care of our planet.

        There are some laws and decisions on this important subject. We have state organizations which pay attention to this problem.

          There are a lot of industrial enterprises in our country, that’s why we can’t ignore the problem of the protection of our environment. Our main aim is the protection. Our environment must be clean. What must we do for it? We have to control atmospheric and water pollution, to study the man’s influence on the climate. The pollution of the environment influences the life of animals, plants and our human life. If we don’t use chemicals in proper way we’ll pollute our environment.

          Our plants and factories put their waste materials into water and atmosphere and pollute the environment.

         There are many kinds of transport in our big cities, that’s why we must pay attention to the protection of our nature and the health of the people.

          Nowadays radiation has become one of the main problems. It is not good for health of people. Many people died from radiation some years ago in Chernobyl. It was a tragedy. Another problem is earthquake. We know some terrible earthquakes in the world. Our scientists try to forecast earthquakes, then we can protect ourselves from them.

        The people all over the world do everything to protect their nature, to make their country richer, to make their life happier.
