Environment is an essential part of our life. A clean environment is necessary for a peaceful and healthy life. An environment is the natural surroundings which helps human beings, animals and other living things to grow and develop naturally. But nowadays, our environment is disturbing in many different ways. Any type of disturbance in nature's balance affects the environment totally. It does not only ruin human lives but also affects all living beings. We can save our environment with the little step taken by everyone on the earth. We should reduce the amount of waste, throwing wastes properly to its place only and many other simple ways. It is very important to save the environment for human existence. When we protect the environment, we are protecting ourselves and our future as well.

The Earth is our home, but it seems that we do not do enough necessary things to protect it. People cut down the trees, kill thousands of animals, and dig up the ground every day. All of our actions create only negative influences on the Earth, and I think we should do something to save it before it is too late. It is not hard for us to cut off products from animals. We do not need to use accessories which are made from animals’ skin and fur, and we should not use things that are made from toxic materials. The oceans now have more trash than living animals, and it is a terrible thing to imagine. We should reduce the amount of trash, especially plastic and toxic waste. Instead, we can use recycled things such as clothes, metal, or wood in our daily life. Everyone can join by doing such small things, and I think it is not very difficult. Environment is everything around us and what we need to maintain our life, so our priority should be keeping it clean and healthy.

Nowadays, people have to face a lot of serious diseases, and pollution is one of the causes. The most serious problem is the air quality. We build too many factories and release too much exhaust fumes into the atmosphere, and it makes the air become worse and worse. We inhale all of the harmful chemicals directly, and I do not know why people are not taking it seriously. A very easy thing that most of us can do to help improve the quality of air is switching to public transportations. 10 people may need 10 different motorbikes, but we can reduce the exhaust fumes from those motorbikes by using the bus or subway. We also depend too much on air conditioners which also create negative effects to the air, and it is better if we can use fans instead on the not too hot days. The air is very important to us, and we need to keep it clean in order to have a healthy life.

With the pace of population growth and industrial zones, the environment has considerably been damaged. From a little green grass to the large oceans, the environment is everything surrounding us. However, the environment is in danger and polluted because of human activities, which raises a lot of concerns for every country in the world. Poaching wild animals, releasing pollutants before treatment, over abusing fossil fuels, etc. are all damages caused by the human. These actions are threatening the ozone layer and causing a terrible effect named climate change that leads to a lot of disasters every year such as flood, drouth, hurricane, forest fire, etc. Besides, environmental pollution is one of the main reasons bringing about many serious diseases related to the respiratory system, digestive system, cardiovascular system, etc. Therefore, protecting the environment is not a mission of a certain country, that is a mission of everyone all around the world instead. Each person can change the world by their responsible actions such as saying “no” with plastic bags, joining campaigns for protecting wildlife, using renewable resources, planting trees, preserving biodiversity, etc. In short, protecting the environment is not only protecting our health or the planet but also saving our next generations.

I usually hear in the everyday news about pollution, and that makes me have awareness in protecting and keeping the environment clean. We can help save the Earth by doing small things, and I am sure that everyone can do that. I always limit the amount of water that I use daily, and I try to reuse the water as much as I can. I also turn on electronics devices only when I am really in need, and I always remember to turn them off before I leave. I choose to use the fan instead of the air conditioner on mild days, and I use the natural light to replace the bulb when it is not dark outside. I do not use plastic cups or dishes even if I have a party, and I have a bag to keep on the goods I buy at the markets instead of using plastic bags. They are just small easy habits that I can always do in my daily life, and there is no reason why people cannot do the same to save the Earth.
