Protecting Our Beautiful Planet
Why Protect Nature?
Nature gives us everything we need to live. It gives us air to breathe, water to drink, food to eat, and materials to build our homes. Forests help clean the air. They are also home to many animals. Rivers and lakes provide fresh water. Healthy soil allows us to grow crops. Protecting nature means protecting ourselves.
Problems Facing Our Environment
Unfortunately, human activities can harm the environment. Pollution from factories and cars can damage the air and water. Throwing away too much rubbish, especially plastic, pollutes the land and sea. It greatly hurts wildlife. Cutting down too many trees destroys animals’ homes and causes dangerous changes in the weather.
What Can We Do?
The good news is that we can all do something to help protect the environment. Even small actions can make a difference.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Try to buy less stuff. Reuse things when you can, like bags or containers. Recycle paper, plastic, glass, and metal.
Save Energy
Turn off lights and electrical equipment, like TVs and computers, when you are not using them. Walk, cycle, or use public transport instead of the car when possible.
Save Water
Don't leave taps running. Take shorter showers. Avoid wasting water as much as you can.
Don't Litter
Always put your rubbish in a bin. If you are out in the countryside, take your rubbish home with you.
