Nowadays, people are getting more and more concerned about the importence of protecting the
enviromnent that we live in. There are many aspects that should be taken into account.
One issue is polution: of the air we breathe, of the soil, of the water. Sceintists have been developing
and sharing their knowledge of what impact it has on the human popullation, and governments and
individuals have been trying to take action. Another reason for concern is the overuse of natural
resaurces, such as oil, coal or gas. Also, in the past we used to be surrouended by beautiful
landscapes – nowadays the reinforests are disappearing at a rate of 6000 acres every hour! Another
interesting fact – did you know that even moskitoes are necessary for the eco-system? These insects
are part of the food chain, and necessary for the surviaval of certain species of fish and animals. We
really need to minimaise our negative impact on planet Earth as much as we can!
