ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS

I would like to give a talk about environmental problems.

Unfortunately, the problem of ecology is very important today, because we live in a polluted world. People all over the world discuss environmental protection, but they still continue to pollute air, water and soil.

There are several types of pollution: air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution.

Air pollution is caused by transport, by gases and smoke from factories and power stations. Smog does a lot of harm to our health, causes different illnesses. Smog causes the greenhouse effect too. As a result, acid rains appear and damage (destroy) forests, soil, water in rivers and lakes.

Water pollution is caused by factories and plants, that throw wastes into rivers and lakes. So, a lot of animals and fish die.

Soil pollution is also dangerous for people and animals too, because we eat vegetables and fruit grown on polluted soil.

So, what can we do to help the environment?

Firstly, we should sort domestic wastes. We shouldn’t litter in forests, near lakes and rivers.

Secondly, we can reuse some things, glass, plastic bags, paper…

Thirdly, we can reduce the usage of water and electricity. Besides, a lot of things can be recycled.

In conclusion, I’d like to say, that it’s very important to protect the environment for our future. We must not ignore the problems of the environmental pollution and try to make everything possible to reduce if not to stop it.
