Сообщение по английскому языку на тему: Загрязнение окружающей среды.

People have always polluted their surroundings. But until now pollution was not such a serious problem. People lived in uncrowned rural areas and did not have pollution - causing machines. With the development of crowded industrial cities which put huge amounts of pollutants into small areas, the problem has become more important.

Automobiles and other new inventions make pollution steadily worse. Since the late 1960's people have become alarmed with the danger of pollution.

Air, water, and soil are necessary for existence of all living things. But polluted air can cause illness, and even death. Polluted water kills fish and other marine life. On polluted soil, food can not be grown. In addition environmental pollution spoils the natural beauty of our planet.

Pollution is as complicated as serious problem. Automobiles are polluting the air but they provide transportation for the people. Factories pollute the air and the water but they provide jobs for people and produce necessary goods. Fertilizers and pesticides are important for growing crops but they can ruin soil.

Thus, people would have to stop using many useful things if they wanted to end pollution immediately. Most people do not want that of course. But pollution can be reduced gradually.

Scientists and engineers can find the ways to reduce pollution from automobiles and factories. Government can pass the laws that would make enterprises take measures for reducing of pollution. Individuals and groups of people can work together to persuade enterprises to stop polluting activities.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Environmental protection is a universal concern. Today the danger to our planet is increasing every day and in order to improve the situation both individuals and government should work together.
Government should take measures that will help to improve the environment. It should pass the laws that would make enterprises take measures for reducing of pollution. Very strict regulations should be implemented regarding industrial discharge. And the penalties for breaking rules must be painful.
There must be strict laws that protect endangered species. It would be a good idea to educate people about the dangers of extinction. As a result, more people might do voluntary work protecting endangered species.
Government should finance and support programs aimed at developing new technologies. So scientists and engineers will be able to find the ways to reduce pollution from enterprises and automobiles.
People must change their attitude towards the environment. There are a lot of simple things we should all do to stop the destruction of the environment.
First of all people must keep their cities and villages clean. That means they mustn't drop litter in public places and on the street. They should put it in a bin. And the town council should provide more rubbish bins in all public places.
People should change their habits and behaviour. They should think before pouring something down the drain, dispose trash into the garbage bins and collect their garbage after picnics.
We must stop, or at least reduce, using aerosol sprays and other chemicals because they destroy the ozone layer.
People should help to plant trees and create parks, they should take care of birds and animals.
If people want to survive they must do their best to solve the environmental problems. If we do nothing we are heading for disaster. If we take the action now there might be a hope for the future. Our planet is our home and we need to protect it. In other words, think green - live better. автор материала
