Pollution and destruction

pollution Because of the pollution, forests are being destroyed. Because of the pollution, lots of green hills have changed into the wasteland. Because of the pollution, sandstorms strike us now and then. Because of the pollution, floods come to our home again and again.

How to protect the environment? First, we should plant more trees and flowers around us. We shouldn’t cut them down. Second, we should stop factories from pouring waste water into the river and waste gas into the air. Third, whenever we see litter on the ground,we should pick it up and throw it into dustbins. Fourth, we should take a bus to travel instead of a car so that the air will become fresh again.

There is only one planet we can survive on which is called Earth ! Protect the Environment, Protect Ourselves.
