What is the Environment?
The environment is something you are
very familiar with. It's everything around
us ! It actually affects our ability to live on
the earth - from the air we breathe, the
water that covers most of the earth's
surface, the plants and animals around
us to much much more.
In the past we have not really given much
thought to what is around us and what
effect it may have on us if it were
removed or polluted. However, in recent
years, scientists have been carefully
examining the ways that people affect the
environment and people are beginning to
realise that we need to take extra care of
our 'environment'.
They have found that we are causing air pollution, deforestation, acid
rain, and other problems that are dangerous both to the earth and to
ourselves. These days, when you hear people talk about "the
environment", they are often referring to the overall condition of our
planet, or how healthy it is.
We must do our best to look after the planet to avoid any further
damage !
