sources create so much air pollution that it may hang in the air like dirty fog. Air
pollution threatens the health of the people who live in cities. City wastes cause water
pollution when they are poured into the waterways. These wastes kill fish and make some
areas unfit for swimming. In addition, many large cities have difficulties in disposing of
their garbage. The amount of garbage grows each year, but places to put it are quickly
filling up. Citizens, governments, industries, scientists, and business people must work
together in different ways to gradually reduce pollution. For example, most cities have

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
In recent years the problem of environmental pollution has become a serious problem in
big cities in our country. So, what are reasons and possible measures for this problem?
Nowadays, we are living in a city with high population density, so domestic waste is the
first reason. Then many people's social consciousness is not high. In several areas, they
throw rubbish on streets, canals and rivers. It is easy for us to see rubbish of all kinds
floating on the water. Moreover, uncultured people even pee in the public place.
Now, let's come to other reasons. Our city is overloaded with vehicles that expel a lot of
smoke and dust. This contributes to the heat of the air, and causes pollution.
Besides that, in several places, trees have been cut down to have room for buildings,
hotels, or supermarkets. This makes the atmosphere in our city mug and stuffy.

Climate change is one of the most worrying things for our planet. Many politicians and
scientists say it is the biggest danger we face. I read almost every day that climate change
is changing the Earth forever. Many species of animal, fish, insect, frog, etc. are dying.
The ice caps in the Arctic and Antarctica are melting. Our weather is changing so places
are getting warmer, or colder, or are having more and stronger hurricanes. We all need to
do our bit so that climate change does not destroy us. It's important to cut down on things
that produce greenhouse gases. These warm the planet and change the climate. Doing
simple things like turning off lights and recycling paper all help.
