Environmental Protection
Environmental protection is the need to protect the environment, whether the concept of 4Rs (reduce, recycle, recover, and reuse) are being achieved or not.
From: Environmental Management, 2017
Environmental Protection includes:
- the protection of ecosystems and their constituent parts from changes associated with human activities; and
- the prevention of unwanted natural changes to ecosystems and their constituent parts.
What’s problem?
Many species of animals and birds are disappearing nowadays. Millions of animals die every year because people have polluted their natural homes.
Besides every year people cut down more trees, build more roads, and use more land for farming.
Every little creature or thing on Earth plays its own part.
Ecological problems:
water pollution
air pollution
soil pollution
Water pollution
Water is necessary for life. All organisms contain it, some drink it and some live in it. Plants and animals need clean water, and they cannot live, if water contains toxic chemicals. Water pollution kills fish, birds, and other animals. Many ships lose some of the oil in the water and the water becomes dirty.
The people are the source of the problem. Ocean pollution begins on land, the ocean is being polluted by fertilizers and pesticides from agriculture. Other activities from humans also pollute the ocean, such as waste from metal, wood and plastic that end up in the water.

Air pollution
Every year the atmosphere is polluted by about 1000 tons of industrial dust and other harmful substances.
Air quality is getting polluted by the growth of industrialization and it gets worse and worse. Use of factories and gasoline fumes from cars and airplanes produce the bad chemicals that are being put out in the air. Carbon Dioxide and greenhouse gasses are two of many bad chemicals that get released.
A lot of people in our district have their own cars and a lot of companies, especially transport ones, use lorries in their work. These transport passengers from one destination to another and at the same time do a lot of damage to nature.
Soil pollution
The main component of the Earth biosphere represents topsoil.
- Soil is polluted by: litter, wastes, heavy metals, pesticides, radioactive elements.
- Sinking aerosol may contain heavy poisonous metals and it may lead to plants’ ruin.
People created factories, which smoke and throw wastes into rivers, pollute the environment!
P ower stations can cause
nuclear pollution
There are many wonderful places on the planet which can amaze by their beauty. Unfortunately, people are destroying the environment and they are trying to take a great advantage of nature.
To solve environmental problems we should…
- Keep yourself informed about environmental problems.
- Before you buy anything, ask yourself if you really need it.
- Never drop litter.
- Help to clean up your local environment with your friends.
- Put out food for wild animals in winter.
- use renewable energy like electric cars and increase of public transportation from walking or using bikes.
The Global water crisis has different solutions. The most common solution for drinkable water is to dig wells at the places we have clean water underground. We can use water filters to purify it. Additionally, we need to control our industrial waste that is directly thrown into oceans or rivers.
Nature is our home!
We should protect the environment!
