PEOPLE START POLLUTION-PEOPLE CAN STOP IT
The pollution of the world's land, air and water is one of the most important problems of
civilization. It is one of the greatest dangers on the Earth. Ecological problems are deforestation,
ozone holes, acid rains and the global warming and others.
The seas are in danger. They are full of industrial wastes and pesticides. Many companies
dump chemical and nuclear waste into water. Half of the lakes in the world are polluted. If we do
nothing about it, one day nothing will be able to live in the seas, lakes and rivers.
Air pollution is also a very serious problem as many factories release sulfates into the air.
When the sulfates mix with the clouds, acid rains fall and harm all living creatures. In Cairo just
to breathe the air is like smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. Large industrial cities all over the
world have dirty air. This causes different diseases. Because of different kinds of pollution every
ten minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out forever.
Plants and factories make the greenhouse effect. The greater problem is nuclear power
stations. We all know Chernobyl tragedy.
People start to realize the environmental problems. There are many international green
organizations that take care of the environment. -Green Peacel is one of the most active one.
All states should save the Earth from the ecological catastrophe. Many governments make strict
laws against pollution. Scientists try to make factories and plants cleaner. And every person must
do his best to help our planet to survive.
