THE CARING OF THE ENVIRONMENT
The environment is one of the most important things that human beings have been able to have. We need to take care of flora, fauna, forests, hills, etc. Starting by recognizing that our environment is important and taking small steps to conserve it.
Every day we are exposed to different types of pollutants such as vehicles, cigarette smoke,plastic particles and even acid rain. That’s why we all have to take the responsibility for reducing our influence on the environment.
The world around us is important to us, things like our forests, oceans, rivers and soils provide us with the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink and all our raw materials, things that are vital for our daily life and for all the living creatures that inhabit our planet.
Together we can each make small changes for reducing our influence on the environment.
For example: go for a walk or cycle instead of driving for short journeys and use rechargeable batteries rather than disposable ones, we can also recycle all those plastic wastes we throw to the environment converting them into compost that will help in gardens, the planting of trees. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen. This makes the earth healthier for all of us. If we do these small activities we can make a difference in the environment's protection.
However, there are cases in which we need to make bigger changes to ensure the future of our planet. Governments can encourage businesses to recycle and reduce the use of fossil fuels or carry out regulations that polluters have to pay for the damage they cause in the environment.
In addition, developing more sustainable sources of energy such as solar and wind power are essential for the preservation of the environment as these are cleaners more efficiently than traditional energy sources such as coal and oil.
In conclusion, the importance of the environment is crucial since many forms of life take place in it. Therefore, their care and preservation should be one of our essential actions. Conserving our environment is vital to us and there are many ways to make our planet move forward, and we can all put our grain of sand into doing even the smallest thing like recycling, taking a walk or planting trees. And the importance of these actions is more noticeable not only in us but also in governments and companies that have developed ways that aim to preserve our environment.
