Environmental problems

In recent years the number of environmental problems has increased greatly. One of the most dangerous problems for our planet is global warming which means that most climates all over the world are changing and getting warmer. It happens because we burn too much petrol resources, such as oil and coal, and the Earth heats up. This process can cause melting of the polar ice and the sea level rising in the future. If the climate changes there will be floods, heavy storms or severe droughts in different areas of the world. Cutting down on exhaust fumes from vehicles could help solve this serious problem.

In recent years the number of environmental problems has increased greatly. One of the most
dangerous problems for our planet is global warming which means that most climates all over the
world are changing and getting warmer. It happens because we burn too much petrol resources,
such as oil and coal, and the Earth heats up. This process can cause melting of the polar ice and the
sea level rising in the future. If the climate changes there will be floods, heavy storms or severe
droughts in different areas of the world. Cutting down on exhaust fumes from vehicles could help
solve this serious problem.
Our planet is overpopulated, that’s why we are using up our natural resources – they are not
endless. So the scientists have started looking for some alternate forms of energy such as water,
wind, sunlight and even tides. These resources are clean, natural and unlimited. I’m glad that
modern automobile industries make hybrids which use electric or solar energy instead of petrol. It
would definitely help protect our environment from pollution.
There are different kinds of environmental pollution: air pollution, water pollution, land
pollution. Sadly, not all human beings realize or admit that we are the ones who cause these
problems and we should be the first to stop them and protect our environment. Because of the
industrial revolution the air is polluted with awful chemicals; seas and oceans are poisoned with oil
spills. Many rare species of flora and fauna are threatened with extinction.
We should be proud to live on our wonderful planet and understand that the consequences of
pollution might be terrible and affect us and our children later. We should start recycling things
made of glass, paper, plastic and aluminium. We should stop smoking and plant as many trees as we
can because they can give us more oxygen. We need to drive less and use public transport in order
to reduce fuel burning. We are responsible for the situation.
