Global warming

One of the most dangerous problems for our planet .Most climates all over the world are changing and getting warmer. It happens because we burn too much petrol resources, such as oil and coal, and the Earth heats up. This process can cause melting of the polar ice and the sea level rising in the future. If the climate changes there will be floods, heavy storms or severe droughts in different areas of the world.

Air pollution

People face to air pollution for a long time.

Factories and plants release lots of gases and smoke.

It causes air pollution and destroys environment.

People, animals and plants suffer from it.

Acid rains

Polluting the air with industrial emissions and car smoke leads to the formation of acid rains. Acid rain destroys nature, damages buildings, and causes dangerous diseases.

Water pollution

People like to spend their free time on the banks of rivers. They have picnics and make fires . Unfortunately, people often forget about nature. They leave cigarette butts, trash, plastic bottles and glass on the riverbank. Fish, animals, and people can get hurt .

Ocean pollution with plastic waste

People throw plastic waste into the ocean.

It is dangerous for ocean animals and human health.

Plastic kills 100,000 animals and a million birds every year.

Chemical waste

Modern enterprises are developing rapidly. But at the same time, a huge amount of waste needs to be recycled.

People throw chemical waste into the ocean and pollute the water.

Animals,plants and people suffer from it.

Cutting down forests (Deforestation)

People cut down trees because they need more food, paper and wood , new places for farming.

Some of animals have to leave their usual habitats.

Different species of animals and birds are disappearing because of human activities.

Pollution in the streets

We live among the litter which we have created ourselves.

Our streets are filled with household waste and packaging.

Plastic bags, boxes, batteries, wrappers, and spoiled food overflow the containers.

How to solve these problems ?

We should be proud to live on our wonderful planet and understand that the consequences of pollution might be terrible and affect us and our children later.

We should start recycling things made of glass, paper, plastic and aluminium.

We should stop smoking and plant as many trees as we can because they can give us more oxygen.

We need to drive less and use public transport in order to reduce fuel burning.

We are responsible for the situation.

Thanks for your attention.
