The Earth is theonlyplanetwe’vegot - weshouldprotectit and keepitalive. Ournaturalresourcesare: -air: -water: -land: -forests: -minerals: -coal: buttheyareendangered – amongothers - bydifferenttypes of pollution.
Types of pollution • Air pollution: smoke, exhaustfumes and aerosolspraysproducegreenhousegases, whichdepletetheozonelayer. • Waterpollution: oiltankersreleasepetrol and oil, whichkilltheanimalslivingthere. • Noisepollution: cars and othervehiclesproducenoise, whichirritatespeople, animalsandplants. • Soilpollution: Pesticides and othertypes of poisonousmaterials and chemicalsendangerourhealth.
A largenumber of animals (penguins, polarbears, etc…) arelosingtheirhabitats, becauseofthemeltingoftheicecaps. The most importantcause is globalwarming! Wearerunning out of naturalresources. Freshwater is goingtodecrease, ifwedon’ttakecare.

Weshouldturnoffwater taps, takeshortershowersinstead of having a bath, and usewater-savingdevicesifpossible.
Weshouldusenaturalcleanerswhichdonotcontainanytoxicmaterials, orharmfulchemicals, and biogradableproductslikenaturalsoaps and dishes. The bestwaytoprotecttheenvironment is conservation.
