Топик Environment. Сочинение Environmental protection на английском с переводом Environment топик с переводом
I think that Russia is one of the dirtiest countries in the world. In Russia almost every family has a car. And fumes of cars are very dangerous. Our factories, cars, trains and planes make the air dirty, so the atmosphere is polluted.
I believe that one day somebody will invent energy that hasn’t fumes. Or people will use renewable energy, for example solar energy, wind energy or hydro-electric dams. I know that these energies aren’t so powerful, but we can use it sometimes, for example for cookers.
I think that right now we need new energy, because oil and coal are disappearing. All countries will be in the economiccrisis, if we don’t find new energy!
I know that the world is getting hotter because of us! When the sun shines, everything gets hot and the dirt stops the hot air from going up to the sky. Because the hot air has nowhere to go, everything gets hotter.
Our world is warmer than it was one hundred years ago. Hot countries may become drier and the people who live there won’t be able to grow enough food. Ice in cold areas is changing to water because of higher temperatures. When this happens, the sea levels become bigger. Some towns near the sea may have a problem soon.
We can help if we stop making the air dirty but we must do something fast!
In addition, not many people understand that they are polluting environment. They are dropping litter on the streets. In my opinion drop litter or rubbish in the dustbin isn’t hard it’s easy.
I think that there must be group of people who will follow the people whodrop litter in the streets. Finally there must be more bins in the streets. And, of course, don’t cut down trees!!! Grow trees, they clean the air!
I’m sure all is in hands of people. I call up: Protect environment, save nature!
I always drop litter in bins and call up my friends to do the same. Maybe when I grow up somebody will have already invented clean and powerful energy.
SAVE NATURE AND ENVIROMENT!!!
Перевод:
Я думаю, что Россия одна из самых загрязненных стран в мире. В России большинство семей имеют машину. В обычной семье часто бывает две или более машин. И выхлопы от машин очень опасны. Наши заводы, машины, поезда и самолеты делают воздух грязным, поэтому атмосфера загрязнена.
Я верю, что кто-нибудь изобретёт энергию, которая не имела бы выхлопов. Или люди использовали бы восстанавливаемую энергию, например солнечную энергию, ветряную энергию или гидро-электро станцию. Я знаю,что эти энергии не такие мощные, но мы можем использовать их для групп вещей, например для плит, использовалась солнечная энергия и т.д.
Я думаю, что прямо сейчас нам нужна новая энергия, потому что нефть и уголь исчезают. Все страны будут в экономическом кризисе, если мы не найдем новую энергию!
Я знаю, что мир становится горячее из-за нас! Когда солнце светит, все становится горячим, и грязь мешает горячему воздуху подойти к небу. Поскольку горячему воздуху некуда идти, все становится горячее.
Наш мир уже становится более теплым, чем это было сто лет назад. Жаркие страны могут стать суше, живущие в них не смогут выращивать достаточное количество продовольствия. Лед в холодных местах сменится на воду, причина в высоких температурах. Когда это произойдет, уровень моря повысится. Некоторые города рядом с морем могут иметь проблему скоро.
Мы можем помочь, если мы прекратим загрязнять воздух, но мы должны делать что-то быстро!
В дополнение, немногие люди понимают, что они загрязняют окружающую среду. Они бросают мусор на улицах. По моему мнению, бросать мусор в урну не трудно - это просто.
Я думаю, что должна быть группа людей, которая наблюдала за людьми, которые бросают мусор на улицах. Наконец, пусть больше урн поставят на улицах. И, конечно, не срубайте деревья!!! Растите деревья, они очищают воздух!
Я уверена - все в руках человека. Я призываю: Защитите окружающую среду, сохраните природу!
Я всегда бросаю мусор в урны и призываю своих друзей делать тоже самое. Возможно, когда я выросту кто-нибудь уже изобретёт чистую и мощную энергию.
СОХРАНИТЕ ПРИРОДУ И ОКРУЖАЮЩУЮ СРЕДУ!!!

Introduction
Our planet Earth is only a tiny part of the Universe, but nowadays it’s the only place where we can live.
People always polluted their surroundings. But until now pollution was not such a serious problem. People lived in rural areas and did not produce such amount of polluting agents that would cause a dangerous situation in global scale. With the development of overcrowded industrial highly developed cities, which put huge amounts of pollutants into surrounds, the problem has become more and more dangerous.
Today our planet is in serious danger. Acid rains, global warming, air and water pollution, and overpopulation are the problems that threaten human lives on the Earth. In recent years the environmental problems have become extremely urgent and received a great publicity. In some way they are the result of scientific and technological progress of the 20-th century. But people also do a lot of harm to nature because they don"t understand that the man is the part of environment. The relationship between man and nature has become one of the most vital problems facing civilization today.
That’s why is very important to draw public attention to ecological problems. The government must think of it, organize round tables on TV and radio. We must teach children to protect environment because deeds are better that words.
In this project we would like to remind you that the Earth is polluted, pollution is not reduced, air, land and water are damaged.
People! Help the Earth!!!
Main part
Environment is the natural habitat that surrounds us everywhere. Over the last decades people have built so many harmful factories that environment started to suffer. Some environmental problems are really urgent in modern society. The problems we are facing air pollution, water pollution, global warming, nuclear pollution, the disappearance of certain animal species, etc. There are numerous reasons for such vast pollution of the surrounding environment on our planet. First of all, today there are so many petrol-driven cars in the streets. In search of newer and newer inventions people have completely forgotten that natural resources are limited. We can’t continue exhaling harmful gases into the atmosphere. Such human behavior leads not only to air pollution but also to global warming. This problem really touches all countries in the world and is considered to be global. We have never had such warm winters before. Besides, the glaciers are melting. It is one of the most serious problems in the modern world. Some scientists state that global warming is the result of industrial revolution. Other urgent problems include water pollution and waste of certain natural resources. Water pollution is mostly the result of factory wastes. If we had reasonably treated such natural resources as water, forest, soil, our planet would be in a better shape today. Unfortunately, not everyone cares about nature and many people think that natural resources will never end.
Ecological problems
There are a lot of ecological problems. The most serious ecological problems are: noise from cars and buses; destruction of wildlife and countryside beauty; shortage of natural resources; the growth of population; pollution in its many forms.
Water is everywhere, but there is no ocean or sea which is not used as a dump. Many rivers and lakes are poisoned too. Fish and reptiles can t live in them. People can"t drink this water. So we have to clean the water environment.
Another problem is air pollution. Air pollution influents the health of people. For example: ultraviolet radiation from the sun can cause skin cancer. Normally the ozone layer in the atmosphere protects us from such radiation, but if there are holes in the ozone layer ultraviolet radiation can get to the earth. Many scientists think that these holes are the result of air pollution.
Also we have problem with nuclear pollution. Nuclear pollution cannot be seen but its effect can be terrible.
To make air clear clean again we need good filters at nuclear power stations, at factories, in cars and buses.
Another problem is growth of population. They don"t have enough places to live. They need more water, more food. So it is the reason of the shortage of the natural resources. It is very difficult to solve this problem.
Also one of the most serious problems is green house effect. It works like this: sunlight gives us heat. Some of the heat warms the atmosphere and some of the heat goes back into space. Nowadays the heat can"t go into space. That"s why winter and summer temperatures in many places have become higher. If the temperature continue growing up the snow on the mountains and ice will melt, so the most of the earth will be under water.
So every person has to understand how important it is to solve these problems, that endanger people"s life.
People have lived on our planet for many years. They lived and live on different continents, in different countries. People depend on their planet, on the sun, on animals and plants around them. People must take care of Earth.Wildlife
Our ecology becomes worse and worse with every new day. Many species of animals and birds are disappearing nowadays. People destruct wildlife, cut down trees to make furniture. They forget that people can’t live without trees and plants, because they fill air with oxygen. And, of course, great problems are population and animals destruction.
The main reason of pollution is rubbish. Most of our rubbish goes to big holes in the ground, called ‘dumps’. But dumps are very dangerous for our life ‘cause’ they are full of rats, which can carry infections away from dumps. Another way to get rid of rubbish is to burn it. But the fires make poisons, which go into the air and pollute it.
Pollution isn’t the only actual problem. Every day a big number of animals disappeared. People kill animals for different aims: e.g. people hunt whales for their meat and oil, elephants for their tusks, crocodiles for their leather and so on. And also animals are used for medical experiments. Modern life is bad for animals, birds, fish. The air isn’t fresh and the water isn’t pure. They don’t have good meal and facilities for the life. You can find their names in the Red Book.
Of course, people can’t stay indifferent to these problems. There are a lot of special organizations, which try to save our nature. The most known are: The Royal Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals (The RSPCA), the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Greenpeace.
The RSPCA tries to protect animals from bad use. It operates big nation campaigns aimed at lost pets, circus animals.
The WWF rescued several species of animals, mammals as well as birds. These organizations also helped to create more than 250 National parks.
Greenpeace began its work 20 years ago from saving whales. And now Greenpeace is a world-famous organization, which saves plants, animals and people. These organization, want to rescue animals, to help them to survive and to save jungle rain forests, which are in danger of destruction. And they also help animals cause many of them have already gone as they have nowhere to live. Their homes, the trees, have disappeared.
We must save wild animals. And we must find the right way to save land, people and animals. We must take care of nature, because we are part of it.
Since ancient times Nature has served Man, being the source of his life. For thousands of years people lived in harmony with environment and it seemed to them that natural riches were unlimited. But with the development of civilization man"s interference in nature began to increase.Air pollution
Large cities with thousands of smoky industrial enterprises appear all over the world today. The byproducts of their activity pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink, the land we grow grain and vegetables on.
Every year world industry pollutes the atmosphere with about 1000 million tons of dust and other harmful substances. Many cities suffer from smog. Vast forests are cut and burn in fire. Their disappearance upsets the oxygen balance. As a result some rare species of animals, birds, fish and plants disappear forever, a number of rivers and lakes dry up.
The pollution of air and the world"s ocean, destruction of the ozone layer is the result of man"s careless interaction with nature, a sign of the ecological crises.
The most horrible ecological disaster befell Ukraine and its people after the Chernobyl tragedy in April 1986. About 18 percent of the territory of Belarus were also polluted with radioactive substances. A great damage has been done to the agriculture, forests and people"s health. The consequences of this explosion at the atomic power-station are tragic for the Ukrainian, Byelorussian and other nations.
Environmental protection is of a universal concern. That is why serious measures to create a system of ecological security should be taken.
Some progress has been already made in this direction. As many as 159 countries - members of the UNO - have set up environmental protection agencies. Numerous conferences have been held by these agencies to discuss problems facing ecologically poor regions including the Aral Sea, the South Urals, Kuzbass, Donbass, Semipalatinsk and Chernobyl. An international environmental research centre has been set up on Lake Baikal. The international organization Greenpeace is also doing much to preserve the environment.
But these are only the initial steps and they must be carried onward to protect nature, to save life on the planet not only for the sake of the present but also for the future generations.
Pollution of water and air is one of the problems millions of people are concerned today. Acid rains, hydraulic power stations, radioactive and other poisonous materials, disposal of wastes became the global disasters. Cars are one of the most harmful and dangerous polluters of air.
In more than a hundred towns and cities the concentration of harmful substances in the air and water is over 10 times the admissible level. Archangelsk is one of the most "dirty" towns of the country. The Nothern Dvina - our main water source is fully polluted with industrial and communal wastes - the result of side-effect in the work of three giant pulp and paper mills. Water is not suitable for drinking.
Another problem is presence of dangerous radioactive military objects and cosmodrom "Plesetsk". Besides we must remember about ozone holes over our heads. The ozone layer doesn"t protect us from dangerous ultraviolet rays any more. They get through the atmosphere causing skin cancer and other diseases.
All these facts make us become more sensitive towards the environment. The trouble is that our local powers don"t realize enough the danger of the situation and don"t pay much attention and money for construction of cleanser enterprises. Various public organizations and unofficial movement make their best to change official and public opinion on the environmental problems. One of the most famous and strong organizations nowadays is "Green peace". I suppose the solution of the problem requires the cooperation the people"s efforts in nature conservation.
The word environment means simply what is around us. Some people live in a town environment; for others, their environment is the countryside.Water pollution
There is no ocean or sea, which is not used as a dump. Many seas are used for dumping industrial and nuclear waste. This poisons and kills fish and sea animals. "Nuclear-poisoned" fish can be eaten by people.
Many rivers and lakes are poisoned too. Fish and reptiles can’t live in them. There is not enough oxygen in the water. In such places all the birds leave their habitats and many plants die. If people drink this water they can die too. It happens so because factories produce a lot of waste and pour it into rivers. So they poison water.
Most of the pollution in big cities comes from cars and buses. More and more often people are told not to be in direct sunlight, because ultraviolet radiation from the sun can cause skin cancer. Normally the ozone layer in the atmosphere protects us from such radiation, but if there are holes in the ozone layer ultraviolet radiation can get to the earth. Many scientists think that these holes are the result of air pollution.
Both clean air and clean water are necessary for our health. If people want to survive they must solve these problems quickly. Man is beginning to understand that his environment is not just his own town or country, but the whole earth. That’s why people all over the world think and speak so much about ecology.
Since ancient times people have been trying to produce more and more to increase human wealth. Nobody noticed that we were destroying Nature by using it as the source of raw materials, and as the garbage can for our waste. Nature seemed to be boundless and endless... Far from it as it turned out. Millions of cars and smoky factories pollute and spoil the air we breathe in. Pollution is hanging over big cities like an ugly brown cloud. It is hurting our lungs as well as the life of animals, birds and plants.
People need wood and paper, so we cut down our forests. We don"t know what to do with waste materials of our industry, so we pour them into water, bury them into soil, shoot them into atmosphere. We pollute the water we drink, and the land we live in. People build nuclear power stations and carry out nuclear tests. As a result, radiation represents one of the main problems nowadays.
The rapid growth of population in the world may turn into another grave problem very soon. The speed with which we are using up our non-renewable resources like oil and gas, is appealing. With the development of our civilization we have become dangerous to the planet and to ourselves. What must we do not to find ourselves in a dirty desert in the near future? This question cannot be ignored.
Some scientists are pessimistic about our problems. They suppose that we have already reached the point of no return. Others are more optimistic and believe that our ecological problems are solvable because more and more people begin to understand how dangerous they are. There is increasing awareness of people of the real state of the planet.
In many countries environmental protection agencies and research centers are set up. Such organizations as "Green Peace" and "Friends of the Earth" try to put pressure upon those governments that do not care for ecology in their countries. The humankind will be able to survive only if we all understand that environmental protection is our universal concern.
Global warming
"Global warming" has been introduced by the scientific community and the media as the term that encompasses all potential changes in climate that result from higher average global temperatures. Hundreds of scientists from many different countries are working to understand global warming and have come to a consensus on several important aspects. In general, Global warming will produce far more profound climatic changes than simply a rise in global temperature.
An analysis of temperature records shows that the Earth has warmed an average of 0.5°C over the past 100 years. This is consistent with predictions of global warming due to an enhanced greenhouse effect and increased aerosols. Part of the current global warmth is associated with the tropical El Nino, without which a record global temperature would probably not have occurred.
The Earth"s climate is the result of extremely complex interactions among the atmosphere, the oceans, the land masses, and living organisms, which are all warmed daily by the sun"s energy. This heat would radiate back into space if not for the atmosphere, which relies on a delicate balance of heat-trapping gases - including water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane - to act as a natural "greenhouse," keeping in just the right amount of the sun"s energy to support life.
For the past 150 years, though, the atmospheric concentrations of these gases, particularly carbon dioxide, have been rising. As a result, more heat is being trapped than previously, which in turn is causing the global temperature to rise. Climate scientists have linked the increased levels of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere to human activities, in particular the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas for heating and electricity; gasoline for transportation), deforestation, cattle ranching, and rice farming.
As the Earth"s climate is the result of extremely complex interactions, scientists still cannot predict the exact impact on the earth"s climate of these rising levels of heat-trapping gases over the next century. The current best estimate is that if carbon dioxide concentrations double over preindustrial levels, according to the scientific possible scenarios, an atmospheric doubling of carbon dioxide could occur as early as 2050.
In 1995, scientists with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - the authoritative international body charged with studying this issue-reached a conclusion in the Second Assessment Report, which summarizes the current state of scientific knowledge on global warming, also called climate change.
For the first time ever, the Panel concluded that the observed increase in global average temperature over the last century "is unlikely to be entirely natural in origin" and that "the balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on global climate."
Many years ago people lived in harmony with the environment because industry was not much developed. Now the situation is quite different.
People all over the world cannot ignore the problem of the protection of the environment because of modem industry and the need for energy.
Newspapers and magazines write a lot about water pollution, air pollution and land pollution. There are some laws and decisions on this important question. There are state organizations and international conventions which pay much attention to this problem.
Many parts of the world are crowded now, much of our waste, especially waste from factories, electric power stations, the chemical industry and heavy industry are very dangerous. Fish dies in the lakes, rivers and seas, forest trees die too.
The problem of radiation has also become a very important problem because it is very dangerous for health of people.
There is a science, named ecology, which study the relation between people and their environment. But each of us also must do everything possible to keep our environment clean for ourselves and for the next generations.
Computers project that between now and the year of 2030 we are going to have increase of the average temperature between 1,5-4,5 Degrees C. Sea levels would rise by several metres, flooding coastal areas and ruining vast tracts of farmland. Huge areas would be infertile and become uninhabitable. Water contamination could lead to shortages of safe drinking water. It looks like the end of civilization on the Earth.
For hundreds of thousands of years the human race has thriven in Earth"s environment. But at the end of the 20th century, we were at a crucial turning point. We have upset nature"s sensitive equilibrium releasing harmful substances into the air, polluting rivers and oceans with industrial waste and tearing up the countryside to accommodate our rubbish. These are the consequences of the development of civilization. We are to stop it by joint efforts of all the people of the world.
The range of environmental problems is wide. But the matters of people"s great concern nowadays are atmosphere and climate changes, depletion of the ozone layer, freshwater resources, oceans and coastal areas, deforestation and desertification, biological diversity, biotechnology, health and chemical safety. United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) concentrates its activities on these issues.
One of the most alarming forms of air pollution is acid rain. It results from the release into the atmosphere of sulphur and nitrogen oxides that react with water droplets and return to earth in the form of acid rain, mist or snow. Acid rain is killing forests (nearly every species of tree is affected). It has acidified lakes and streams and they can"t support fish, wildlife, plants or insects.
The protective layer of the Earth, the ozone layer, which protects the Earth from the sun"s destructive ultraviolet rays, is being damaged by chlorofluorocarbons. They are released by the daily use of industrial and household products: refrigerators, air conditioners, foam insulation, cleaning chemicals, food packaging. In the ozone layer they attack the ozone molecules making a "hole". This "hole" allows more UV rays to penetrate to the Earth. It increases the risk of skin cancer, weakens the immune system of people. Besides, UV rays influence the oceans, the growth of plankton, an essential part of the marine-life food chain in the negative way, reduce economically important-crops (rice, cotton, soy beans). The life cycle is going to be undermined by the ozone.
It’s generally agreed that the destruction of the tropical forest has a major impact on the world climate. The tropical rain forest is a natural recycler, provider and protector for our planet. It recycles carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, helps determine temperature, rainfall and other climatic conditions and supports the most diverse ecosystem in the world. Deforestation could cause one forth of all species on earth to vanish in the next 25 years. These forests in Amazonia, South-East Asia and West and Central Africa are being destroyed at an alarming rate of 42 million acres per year.
Conclusion
We have only a few years to attempt to turn things around. We must review our wasteful, careless ways, we must consume less, recycle more, conserve wildlife and nature, act according to the dictum "think locally, think globally, act locally". To my mind, we are obliged to remove factories and plants from cities, use modern technologies, redesign and modify purifying systems for cleaning and trapping harmful substances, protect and increase the greenery and broaden ecological education. These are the main practical measures, which must be taken in order to improve the ecological situation.
Some progress has been already made in this direction. 159 countries-members of the UNO have set up environmental protection agencies. They hold conferences discussing ecological problems, set up environmental research centers and take practical urgent measures to avoid ecological catastrophe. There are numerous public organizations such as Greenpeace that are doing much to preserve environment. The 5th of June is proclaimed the World Environmental Day by the UNO and is celebrated every year.
Nowadays people understand how important it is to solve the environment problems that endanger people’s lives. The most serious environmental problems are: pollution in its many forms (water pollution, air pollution, nuclear pollution), noise from cars, buses, planes, etc., destruction of wildlife and countryside beauty, shortage of natural resources (metals, different kinds of fuel), the growth of population.
It is interesting to note that people celebrate the Earth day. This day is celebrated on the 22nd of April when people demonstrate their concern for a better environment. It was first held in 1970.
Fortunately, it’s not too late to solve the ecological problems. We have the time, the money and the technology to make our planet a better, cleaner and safer place.

Importance of environmental protection
I suppose that enviromental protection is one of the most major problem in our modern world. With middle of XX century people’s negative influence on the planet increased. Many of us think that nature resources doesn’t limit and don’t care about it.
Today we have so much kinds of pollution: air, water, soil, noise, nuclear polutions. Each of these are very dangerous for our health. Many diseaseses are becauce of enviromental polutions, and reasons of it are we ourself. There are many others problems besides illnesses. Some animals are an endangered spicies, for example the giant panda. In many regions water in rivers, lakes is very soiled with toxic waste of plants. In summer we can’t swim here, because this is very hazardous. Reasons of air polution are vehicle emissions and plant’s discharges. In megalopolises people live in regular smog, ozone holes are created too. Examples of soil polution are forest fires and rubbish dumps out of the city. There were some nuclear accidents on the planet, which have very serious consequences. Now we have hard situation in Japan.
There are many groups and organisation, which are care about enviroment. Greenpeace is one of them. It has offices in more than 40 countries. Members of this global organisation try to find solution of enviromental problems in the world. They care about all spheres of pollution. In many countries government draws people’s attention to problems of environment. For example in Russia we have community work day. In this day everybody tidy streets, take away rubbish,plant trees and shrubs. In my opinion it is very wholesome tradition.
In conclusion I want to say that we must to save nature resources and reduse pollutions. We are friends of our planet, because it is our home.
Я считаю что защита окружающей среды является одной из самых важнейших проблем в нашем обществе. С середина XX века негативное влияние людей на планету возросло. Многие из нас думают, что природные ресурсы безграничны и не волнуются об этом.
В наше время существует большое количество видов загрязнений: воды, воздуха, земли, шумовое и радиоактивное. Каждое из них очень опасно для нашего здоровья. Многие болезни являются результатом загрязнения окружающей среды, и причина этому мы сами. Существует множество и других проблем кроме болезней. Некоторые животные на грани исчезновения, например гигантская панда. Во многих регионах вода в реках и озерах сильно загрязнена токсичными отходами заводов. Летом мы не можем покупаться, потому что это очень опасно. Причины загрязнения воздуха - это выхлопы машин и отходы заводов. В мегаполисах люди живут в постоянном смоге, также образуются озоновые дыры. Примерами загрязнения земли являются лесные пожары и мусорные свалки за пределами городов. На нашей планете происходили и радиоактивные аварии, которые имели серьезные последствия. Сложная ситуация сейчас сложилась в Японии.
Существует большое количество групп и организаций, которые заботятся об окружающей среде. Гринпис одна из них. Её филиалы располагаются в более чем сорока странах. Сотрудники этой всемирной организации стараются найти решение проблемы защиты окружающей среды. Они заботятся о всех сферах загрязнений. Во многих странах правительство привлекает внимание людей к проблемам окружающей среды. Например у нас в России - это субботник. В этот день все убирают улицы, собирают мусор и высаживают деревья, кустарники. По-моему мнению это очень хорошая традиция.
В заключении я хочусказать мы должны сохранять природные ресурсы и уменьшать загрязнения. Мы друзья планеты, потому что это наш дом.
Человечество слишком долго ведет себя на планете как неразумный хозяин. Создавая удобства для комфортной жизни, мы напрочь забыли о том, что ресурсы природы вовсе не безграничны. Что жить в городах с грязным воздухом, придется нашим детям. Настало время вспомнить о том, что природа не прощает ошибок. Мы должны позаботиться о ней, вспомнить, что мы сами — часть этой природы. So, is it ok to bite the hand that feeds?
Essay on Environmental Protection
Our planet Earth is only a tiny part of the universe, and it is so far the only place where human beings can live.We always polluted our surroundings. But until now pollution was not such a huge problem. People lived in the countryside and couldn’t produce such amount of pollution that would lead to a dangerous situation on a global scale.
With the development of industrial cities, which create huge amounts of pollutants, the problem has become real. Nowadays our planet is in serious danger. Global warming, acid rains, air and water pollution, overpopulation are the problems that threaten human lives on the Earth.
Every year world industry pollutes the air that we breathe with. A great number of cities suffer from smog. Rainforests are cut down. Their disappearance upsets the oxygen balance. As a result, some rare species of animals, birds, fish and plants are extinct. A lot of seas, rivers and lakes are filled with poison like industrial and nuclear wastes, chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The pollution of air and the world"s ocean, destruction of the ozone layer is the result of man"s careless interaction with nature, a sign of the ecological crisis.
People should consider their attitude to the environment. Some progress has already been made in this direction. Numerous conferences have been held by a lot of agencies to discuss problems facing ecologically poor regions including the Aral Sea, the South Urals, Kuzbass, Donbass and Chernobyl. Greenpeace is also doing much to preserve the environment.
What can we do to save our planet? First of all, people should switch to alternative forms of power, such as solar power or wind power. Secondly, the use of atomic power must be banned. Thirdly, we need to recycle. It’s the art of turning waste into new products. It would be a good idea if people started riding bicycles instead of driving cars. We are obliged to protect nature. If everybody cares, it will make a difference.
Сочинение на тему Защита окружающей среды
Наша планета Земля — всего лишь крошечная часть вселенной, и на данный момент это единственное место, где могут жить люди.Мы всегда загрязняли окружающую среду. Но до сих пор загрязнение не было такой огромной проблемой. Люди жили в сельской местности и не могли производить такое огромное количество загрязнения, которое могло бы привести к опасной ситуации в глобальном масштабе.
С развитием промышленных городов, которые производят огромное количество загрязняющих веществ, проблема стала реальной. В наши дни наша планета находится в серьезной опасности. Глобальное потепление, кислотные дожди, загрязнение воздуха и воды, перенаселенность — это проблемы, которые угрожают жизни людей на Земле.Каждый год мировая промышленность загрязняет воздух, которым мы дышим. Огромное количество городов страдает от смога. Тропические леса вырубаются. Их исчезновение нарушает баланс кислорода. В результате исчезают редкие виды животных, птиц, рыб и растений. Много морей, рек и озер заполнены ядом: промышленными и ядерными отходами, химическими удобрениями и пестицидами. Загрязнение воздуха и мирового океана, разрушение озонового слоя является следствием небрежного взаимодействия человека с природой, признаком экологического кризиса.
Люди должны обдумать свое отношение к окружающей среде. В этом направлении уже достигнут определенный прогресс. Различные организации проводят многочисленные конференции для обсуждения проблем, с которыми сталкиваются экологически бедные регионы, включая Аральское море, Южный Урал, Кузбасс, Донбасс и Чернобыль. Организация «Гринпис» также делает много для сохранения окружающей среды.
Что мы можем сделать, чтобы спасти нашу планету? Прежде всего, люди должны переключиться на альтернативные формы энергии, такие как солнечная энергия или энергия ветра. Во-вторых, использование атомной энергии должно быть запрещено. В-третьих, нам нужно перерабатывать. Это искусство превращения отходов в новые продукты. Было бы неплохо, если бы люди начали кататься на велосипедах, а не водить автомобили. Мы обязаны защищать природу. Если все будут заботится, это изменит ситуацию.

Environmental Protection
Our planet Earth is only a tiny part of the universe, but nowadays it"s the only place where we can live.
People always polluted their surroundings. But until now pollution was not such a serious problem. People lived in rural areas and did not produce such amount of polluting agents that would cause a dangerous situation in global scale.
With the development of overcrowded industrial highly developed cities, which put huge amounts of pollutants into surrounds, the problem has become more and more dangerous. Today our planet is in serious danger. Acid rains, global warming, air and water pollution, and overpopulation are the problems that threaten human lives on the Earth.
In order to understand how air pollution affects our body, we must understand exactly what this pollution is. The pollutants that harm our respiratory system are known as particulates. Particulates are the small solid particles that you can see through rays of sunlight. They are products of incomplete combustion in engines, for example: internal-combustion engines, road dust and wood smoke.
Billions of tons of coal and oil are consumed around the world every year. When these fuels are burnt, they produce smoke and other by-products, which is emitted into the atmosphere. Although wind and rain occasionally wash away the smoke, given off by power plants and automobiles, but it is not enough.. These chemical compounds undergo a series of chemical reactions in the presence of sunlight; as a result we have smog, mixture of fog and smoke. While such pollutants as particulates we can see, other harmful ones are not visible. Among the most dangerous to bur health are carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and ozone or active oxygen.
If you have ever been in an enclosed parking garage or a tunnel and felt dizzy or lightheaded, then you have felt the effect of carbon monoxide (CO). This odourless, colourless, but poisonous gas is produced by the incomplete burning of fossil fuels, like gasoline or diesel fuel.
Factories emit tons of harmful chemicals. These emissions have disastrous consequences for our planet. They are the main reason for the greenhouse effect and acid rains.
Our forests are disappearing because they are cut down or burnt. If this trend continues, one day we won"t have enough oxygen to breathe, we won"t see a beautiful green forest at all.
The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial and nuclear wastes, chemical fertilizers and pesticides. If nothing is done about it, one day nothing will be able to live in our seas.
Every ten minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out forever. If nothing is done about it, one million species that are alive today may soon become extinct.
And even greater threats are nuclear power stations. We all know how tragic the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster are.
Fortunately, it"s not too late to solve these problems. We have the time, the money and even the technology to make our planet a better, cleaner and safer place. We can plant trees and create parks for endangered animals.
We can recycle
our wastes; persuade enterprises to stop polluting activities,
because it is apparent that our careless use of fossil fuels and
chemicals is destroying this planet. And it is now more than
ever apparent that at the same time we are destroying our bodies
and our future.
Защита окружающей среды
Наша планета Земля является только крошечной частью Вселенной, но в настоящее время - это единственное место, где мы можем жить.
Люди всегда загрязняли все вокруг. Но до сих пор загрязнение не было такой серьезной проблемой. Люди жили в сельских районах и не производили такого количества загрязняющих компонентов, которые могли вызвать опасную ситуацию в глобальном масштабе.
С развитием перенаселенных индустриальных высокоразвитых городов, которые выбрасывают огромные количества загрязняющих веществ в окружающую среду, проблема стала все более иболее серьезной. Сегодня наша планета находится в серьезной опасности. Кислотные дожди, глобальное потепление, загрязнение воздуха и воды, перенаселенность - проблемы, которые угрожают человеческой жизни на Земле.
Чтобы понять, как загрязнение атмосферы воздействует на наш организм, мы должны точно знать, каково это загрязнение. Загрязняющие вещества, которые вредят нашей дыхательной системе называются макрочастицами. Макрочастицы - это мелкие твердые частицы, которые мы видим на солнечном свету. Это производные неполного сгорания топлива в двигателях, например двигателе внутреннего сгорания, дорожная пыль и дым от сгорания древесины.
Миллиарды тонн угля и нефти сжигаются во всем мире каждый год. Когда это топливо сгорает, оно выбрасывает дым и другие побочные продукты в окружающую среду. Хотя ветер и дождь иногда смывают дым, выделенный силовыми установками и автомобилями, этого не достаточно. Эти химические элементы под воздействием солнечного света подвергаются серии химических реакций, и как результат мы имеем смог, смесь тумана и дыма. В то время как такие загрязняющие вещества, как макрочастицы, мы можем видеть, другие вредные для нашего здоровья вещества остаются невидимыми. Среди наиболее опасных для нашего здоровья находится угарный газ, окислы азота, сернистый газ и озон, или активный кислород.
Если вы когда-либо были в закрытом гараже или туннеле и чувствовали головокружение или упадок сил, тогда вы чувствовали результат воздействия угарного газа (СО). Этот бесцветный, но ядовитый газ без запаха получается от неполного сгорания органического топлива, подобно бензину или дизельному топливу.
Фабрики выбрасывают тонны вредоносных химикатов. Эти выбросы имеют гибельные последствия для нашей планеты. Они являются главной причиной парникового эффекта и кислотных дождей.
Из-за вырубки или пожаров исчезают наши леса. Если эта тенденция продолжится, то однажды у нас не будет достаточного количества кислорода, чтобы дышать, мы вообще никогда не увидим красивый зеленый лес.
Моря также находятся в опасности. Они заполнены ядом: промышленными отходами, отходами ядерной промышленности, химическими удобрениями и пестицидами. Если мы ничего не сделаем, то однажды в наших морях некому будет жить.
Каждые десять минут на нашей планете вымирает один вид животных, растений или насекомых. Если мы ничего не сделаем, то десять миллионов видов живых организмов, живущих сейчас, в скором времени исчезнут.
Еще большая угроза - атомные электростанции. Всем нам известны трагические последствия чернобыльской катастрофы.
К счастью, еще не поздно и мы можем решить эти проблемы. Мы имеем время, деньги и технологии, чтобы сделать нашу планету лучше, чище и безопаснее. Мы можем высаживать деревья и создавать парки для животных, находящихся в опасности.
Мы можем перерабатывать отходы,
убедить предпринимателей прекратить загрязнение окружающей
среды, так как ясно, что наше безрассудное использование топлива
и химических веществ разрушает нашу планету и более того, ясно и
то, что мы разрушаем себя и свое будущее.
