ECOLOGY

The
environmental crisis – number one international problem.

We are in the environmental
crisis because human beings have broken out the circle of life and
destroying the environment.

The first
threat
to the planet is the
extinction
of plants and animal life. Many animals find it more and more
difficult to survive as their natural
habitat
is being destroyed by growing cities. The earth forested
areas
are in danger of disappearing completely as trees are burnt or cut
down. Illegal
hunting
helps some rare species to become extinct.
This process can be controlled if we protect animals in danger by
law, open more parks and plant more forests; introduce harsher
punishment
for illegal hunters and raise
public awareness
about endangered
species.

The second
problem is water, air and land pollution. Factories and cars release
poisonous chemicals
into the air. The chemicals mix with the water in the clouds, and the
polluted rain which falls later damages
trees, lakes and buildings. Gases from aerosol sprays and fridges are
going into atmosphere destroying
the
ozone
layer
which prevents
us from
getting harmful
radiation.
As a result more and more people are getting skin
cancer.
Our society is producing too much packaging and food
waste;
that is why diseases
spread more easily. People are using a lot of detergents
for cleaning their houses and cars, this wasted water is poured into
rivers, oceans and steams killing fish. A few steps can help to
change the situation. We must throw away less rubbish and use litter
bins;
control the use of pesticides
and fertilizers;
use recycling.

Deforestation,
using aerosols and burning fossil
fuels
cause the process of Global
Warming (Greenhouse Effect).
This environmental change leads to rising temperatures, melting
ice-caps in the polar region and droughts
and floods
in hot countries.

These problems are very
serious. Both scientists and politicians agree that unless some
radical steps are taken in the nearest future, life on our planet may
be destroyed.

Answer
the questions:

1.
What do you know about the ozone layer?

2. How does the rapid growth
of cities influence nature?

3. How can
we safe nature resources?

4. Why is our food not as
healthy as it should be?
