The Importance of Environmental Protection

The earth, who has many resources can be used for our survival, is our mutual home. ''Water can carry a boat, it can capsize'', said by Weizheng, the prime minister of Tang. If we do not protect her, and request her uncontrollably, as she can as a mother raising us? Now, with the rapid increase in living standards, this grim fact that pollution of the environment has been placed in front of us. Do we do nothing about it? No, we must understand the importance of environmental protection.

There are many reasons for pollution of the environment, for example, plastic bags, and scraps of paper which can be seen everywhere in our lives can contaminate the environment. Over time, the environment will be destroyed and our available resources will be polluted. Therefore, we must protect the environment now, without delay.

Waste not only affects the appearance but also is the land killer. Why?

Because the plastic film can change the soil structure, and many plastics will slowly seep toxic substances in soil, which is harmful to plants. It is said corn production will be reduced from 11% to 23%, with per mu in 3.9 kg plastic film. Moreover, there is nearly no bacteria and enzymes to digest the plastic in nature. So plastic buried in the soil will not rot in two or three centuries. How terrible this is!

As we all know, the destruction of ozone layer occurred over the Antarctic was Caused by use of Freon Excessive. Without the protection of the ozone layer, ultraviolet radiation will drive straight, so the melting glaciers, rising sea levels, which threat to our lives and production.

As can be seen from the above, environment is closely related with people's lives. Therefore, each one of us should have awareness of environmental protection, making own efforts to protect the environment. We should understand that to create a pleasant environment is to extend the life of our own. So the protection of the environment is our duty.
