The environment is the natural world in which people, animals and plants live. The natural environment has been seriously affected and degraded by human activities through many decades. For instance, the burning of fossil fuels by factories and motor vehicles has led to air pollution and resulted in acid rains, greenhouse effect and global warming. Deforestation for land use has affected the ecosystem and led to the extinction of rare animals, and extreme floods and land erosion. There are many human activities having serious impacts on the natural environment. They have changed and degraded the natural environment and led to various health problems.
We should do something immediately to protect our environment. For instance, we should control the burning of fossil fuels and encourage forestation to replace deforestation. In addition, there should be appropriate places to dump harmful rubbish and chemicals to reduce the rate of water pollution, a threat to human health and a danger to aquatic animals.
To minimize the rate of environmental degradation and to raise awareness of its threats, the preservation of the environment should be included in education and mass media. People should make every effort to preserve the environment for the next generation.
Tạm dịch:
Môi trường là thế giới tự nhiên trong đó con người, động vật và thực vật sinh sống. Môi trường tự nhiên đã bị ảnh hưởng và suy thoái nghiêm trọng bởi các hoạt động của con người trong nhiều thập kỷ qua. Ví dụ, việc đốt nhiên liệu hóa thạch của các nhà máy và phương tiện cơ giới đã dẫn đến ô nhiễm không khí và dẫn đến mưa axit, hiệu ứng nhà kính và sự nóng lên toàn cầu. Phá rừng để lấy đất đã ảnh hưởng đến hệ sinh thái và dẫn đến sự tuyệt chủng của các loài động vật quý hiếm, lũ lụt nghiêm trọng và xói mòn đất. Có nhiều hoạt động của con người có tác động nghiêm trọng đến môi trường tự nhiên. Chúng đã làm thay đổi và suy thoái môi trường tự nhiên và dẫn đến nhiều vấn đề sức khỏe khác nhau.
Chúng ta nên làm điều gì đó ngay lập tức để bảo vệ môi trường của chúng ta. Ví dụ, chúng ta nên kiểm soát việc đốt nhiên liệu hóa thạch và khuyến khích trồng rừng để thay thế nạn phá rừng. Ngoài ra, cần có những nơi phù hợp để đổ rác và hóa chất độc hại nhằm giảm tốc độ ô nhiễm nguồn nước, nguy cơ đe dọa sức khỏe con người và nguy hiểm cho động vật thủy sinh.
Để giảm thiểu tốc độ suy thoái môi trường và nâng cao nhận thức về các mối đe dọa của nó, việc bảo vệ môi trường cần được đưa vào giáo dục và các phương tiện thông tin đại chúng. Mọi người nên cố gắng hết sức để bảo vệ môi trường cho thế hệ tiếp theo.
