The planet Earth is only a tiny part of universe, but it’s only place where human beings can live.
Today, our planet is in danger. Acid rains, global warming, air and water pollutions, overpopulation are the problems that threaten human life on Earth.
Who is to blame for the disaster? The answer is simple: all of us.
Our forests are disappearing because they are cut down or burnt. If this trend continues, one day we won’t have enough oxygen to breath. The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial and nuclear waste, chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Every ten minutes one kind of animal, plant or incest dies out for ever. If nothing is done about it, one million species that alive today may soon become extinct.
Air pollution is another serious problem. In Cairo just breathing the air is dangerous – equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. The same holds true for many our planet. The same holds true for many Russian cities.
Factories emit tons of harmful chemicals. These emissions have disastrous consequences for our planet. They  are the main reason for the greenhouse effect and acid rains.
An even greater threat are nuclear power stations. We all know how tragic the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster are.
Fortunately, it’s not too late to solve these problems. We have the time, the money and even the technology to make our planet a better, cleaner and safer place. We can plant trees and create parks for endangered species. We can recycle litter. We can support green parties and put pressure on those on power. Together we can save the planet and all of us with it.
