I think that ecological problems should be discussed as we should know what problems we face and what problems we have to solve.
Water and air pollution are the main problems nowadays. What can we do to help the environment?
• People had learnt some important rules to protect the environment: • 1. Save water, gas, energy • 2. Keep our towns, cities and countryside clean • 3. Don’t poison the water, air and soil • 4. Don’t dump industrial waste into rivers, lakes, seas and oceans • 5. Don’t turn the planet into a rubbish dump
• I’m sure that only together people will manage to solve all the global problems and avoid an ecological disaster. • We will survive if we protect the nature all together.
