There is no doubt that the environment is in trouble. Factories burn fuels which produce acid rain. At the same time, gases rise into the air and contribute to global which threatens to melt the polar ice cap. Rivers and oceans are so heavily by industrial waste that millions of endangered species face extinction. Cars pump out poisonous emissions which we all have to breathe in. In fact, all around us, all living things large and small which comprise our finely balanced ecosystem are being systematically destroyed by human greed and thoughtlessness.

There is a lot we can all do, however, to help prevent environmental . The easiest thing, of course, is to recycle waste material and save energy. We can also make more use of transportation. The government should also stricter laws to penalize industrial pollution and at the same time encourage green industries and the use of alternative energy sources.

Undoubtedly, pollution is a global problem, but we can at least do our own little bit grass roots level. We, as humans, have inherited the earth, but that doesn't mean we can do whatever we like with it.
