Keep Our Environment Clean
About two hundred years ago, man lived in greater harmony with his environment because the industry was not much developed. Today the situation is quite different. People all over the world are worried about what is happening to the environment because of modem industry and the need for more and more energy. Newspapers and magazines write about water pollution, air pollution and land pollution.
Why is there so much discussion about pollution? After all, people have been polluting the world around them for thousands and thousands of years. In the past, there were not so many people and lots of room in the world so they could move to another place when their settlements became dirty. Now, however, many parts of the world are crowded, people live in big cities and much of our waste, especially waste from factories, electric power stations, the chemical industry is very dangerous. Fish dies in the lakes, rivers, and seas, forest frees die, too. Much of this dangerous waste goes into the air and is carried by winds for great distances.
The Earth is our home. Putting an end to this problem is not the responsibility of an individual or a group or an organization. It must be the responsibility of the whole humankind.
