The environmental protection

People all over the world are concern about what is happening to the environment. Newspapers and magazines write about air pollution, land pollution and water pollution. They write that the Earth is our home and all people must take care of it. We must do everything possible to save the nature, to make our rivers and air clean. The importance of this task is pointed out by scientist. The branch of science that deals with the relation of living things to their environment is called ecology. From the point of view of ecology the mankind should first of all lessen pollution.

Forest areas and nature parks are of a great importance for people’s health. It’s necessary to create nature parks. There are a lot of such parks in Ukraine. We have not only to protect them but to see that they multiply.

Considerable progress was made during the second half the century: forest areas have been planted or replanted, millions of hectares of new forests are planted each year. The closed cycle use of water by industry was put into practice. Each factory purifies and re-uses the same water, instead of taking more from river or lake. Most of the factories in the gas, iron, and steel industries now operate closed cycle systems. Nature has its rights, and it is the duty of man to respect and defend these rights.
