 Air pollution, smog, water pollution, destruction of natural resources.  The ozone layer in the upper atmosphere protects the world from the sun’s harmful rays. The chemical used widely in aerosol cans, refrigerators, and other products are destroying this precious layer.  The electric power station burn coal to produce the energy that keeps our light on. That burning coal gives off gas that came the greenhouse effect (парниковый эффект) and acid rains (кислотные дожди).

 We pollute the air. – We change the climate.  We leave a fire. – We destroy the forest.  We throw away plastic bottles. – We damage nature.  We leave litter in the forests. – We hurt animals.  We break trees. – We disturb birds.  We don’t recycle paper. – We cut down trees to make new paper.  We throw litter in the rivers and seas. – We cause water pollution.  We leave glass bottles in the forest. – We hurt animals and people.

Do you agree with this statement? Why? Why not? Give your examples. This is teen’s opinion: I agree with this statement “to hurt the Earth is to hurt yourself” because the Earth is our home. Everything is connected. When we pollute air and water we spoil the things we use because we breath this air and drink this water. If the balance in nature is destroyed we will die too.
