If our environment could speak…
If our environment could speak, it would definitely make complaints about the way we treat it!
Factories are polluting me the most! They release chemicals which are poisonous for me and dangerous for your life and nature!
These substances cause a greenhouse effect. Harmful pollutants create a layer of clouds and the solar radiation can’t escape into space. It reflects on the ground and the temperature of the atmosphere rises.
Today there is too much traffic and you often use your cars for no reason! Cars and motorbikes need petrol to move, which releases gases that pollute the atmosphere.
It is so nice to see families walking in the countryside but I feel really sad when they drop their litter. Do you know that even if they take it to the rubbish bins, they don’t remain there? They go to the rubbish dumps where you can see mountains of rubbish. But I’m not a dump yard!
Do you know that rainwater washes the dirt from the waste? All the dirt is then absorbed by the ground and destroys the water of the underground lakes.
How nice is the summer! Everyone enjoys the sea! Sometimes though, you can’t swim because the sea is so dirty and even fish can’t survive and float dead in the surface!
The sea is polluted by the chemical waste of the factories. Even boats empty their waste in the sea and when accidents happen, oil leaks into the water. Thus, the water is polluted and the fish die because they swallow dirty food or because there is no food because of the pollution.
Do you want to save me, yourself and the people around you?
Protect me from the enemies!! Don’t wait for the others to make a start and follow my advice!
Coal is a big enemy! When it is burnt, it releases dangerous substances into the air. Factories could use other natural sources of energy, such as the power of wind or the power of the sun rays!
It would also be good to place filters in the chimneys of the factories to limit the release of chemical substances.
You can go to school on foot or use a bicycle. Find the nearest bus stop to your house! Avoid using your car if it’s not necessary. It’s good to keep the atmosphere clean.
Carry a rubbish bag with you to collect your litter and take it to the rubbish bin. But the best thing you can do is to recycle them. Buy glass bottles and not plastic, because plastic cannot be recycled!
