Environmental Protection
Environmental Protection Our planet Earth is only a tiny part of the universe, but nowadays it's the only place where we can live. Our planet Earth is only a tiny part of the Universe, but currently it is the only place where we can live.
Environmental Protection People always polluted their surroundings. But until now pollution was not such a serious problem. People lived in rural areas and did not produce such amount of polluting agents that would cause a dangerous situation in global scale. People have always polluted everything around them. But until now, pollution has not been such a serious problem. People lived in rural areas and did not produce as many pollutants that could cause a dangerous situation on a global scale.
Environmental Protection With the development of overcrowded industrial highly developed cities, which put huge amounts of pollutants into surrounds, the problem has become more and more dangerous. With the development of overpopulated industrial highly developed cities that emit huge amounts of pollutants into the environment, the problem has become more and more serious.
Environmental Protection Today our planet is in serious danger. Acid rains, global warming, air and water pollution, and overpopulation are the problems that threaten human lives on the Earth. Today our planet is in grave danger. Acid rain, global warming, air and water pollution, overpopulation are problems that threaten human life on Earth.
Environmental Protection In order to understand how air pollution affects our body, we must understand exactly what this pollution is. The pollutants that harm our respiratory system are known as particulates. To understand how air pollution affects our bodies, we need to know exactly what the pollution is. Pollutants that harm our respiratory system are called particulates.
Environmental Protection Particulates are the small solid particles that you can see through rays of sunlight. They are products of incomplete combustion in engines, for example: internal-combustion engines, road dust and wood smoke. Macroparticles are small particulate matter that we see in sunlight. These are derivatives of incomplete combustion of fuel in engines, such as internal combustion engines, road dust and smoke from wood combustion.
Environmental Protection Billions of tons of coal and oil are consumed around the world every year. When these fuels are burnt, they produce smoke and other by-products, which is emitted into the atmosphere. Although wind and rain occasionally wash away the smoke, given off by power plants and automobiles, but it is not enough. Billions of tons of coal and oil are burned around the world every year. When this fuel burns, it releases smoke and other byproducts into the environment. Although wind and rain sometimes wash away the smoke emitted by power plants and cars, this is not enough.
Environmental Protection These chemical compounds undergo a series of chemical reactions in the presence of sunlight; as a result we have smog, mixture of fog and smoke. While such pollutants as particulates we can see, other harmful ones are not visible. These chemical elements When exposed to sunlight, they undergo a series of chemical reactions, and as a result we have smog, a mixture of fog and smoke. While we can see pollutants such as particulates, other substances that are harmful to our health remain invisible.
Environmental Protection Among the most dangerous to bur health are carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and ozone or active oxygen. Among the most dangerous to our health are carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and ozone, or active oxygen.
Environmental Protection If you have ever been in an enclosed parking garage or a tunnel and felt dizzy or lightheaded, then you have felt the effect of carbon monoxide (CO). This odourless, colourless, but poisonous gas is produced by the incomplete burning of fossil fuels, like gasoline or diesel fuel. If you have ever been in a closed garage or tunnel and felt dizzy or faint, then you have experienced the effects of carbon monoxide. This colorless but poisonous gas comes from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, like gasoline or diesel.
Environmental Protection 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. Factories release tons of harmful chemicals. These emissions have disastrous consequences for our planet. They are the main cause of the greenhouse effect and acid rain.
Environmental Protection Our forests are disappearing because they are cut down or burnt. If this trend continues, one day we won't have enough oxygen to breathe, we won't see a beautiful green forest at all. Our forests are disappearing due to deforestation or fires. If this trend continues, then one day we will not have enough oxygen to breathe, we will never see the beautiful green forest at all.
Environmental Protection The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial and nuclear wastes, chemical fertilizers and pesticides. If nothing is done about it, one day nothing will be able to live in our seas. The seas are also in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial waste, nuclear waste, chemical fertilizers and pesticides. If we do nothing, then one day there will be no one to live in our seas.
Environmental Protection Every ten minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out forever. If nothing is done about it, one million species that are alive today may soon become extinct. Every ten minutes one species of animal, plant or insect goes extinct on our planet. If we do nothing, the ten million species of living organisms living today will soon disappear.
Environmental Protection And even greater threats are nuclear power stations. We all know how tragic the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster are. An even greater threat is nuclear power plants. We all know the tragic consequences of the Chernobyl disaster.
Environmental Protection 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 animals. Fortunately, it is not too late and we can solve these problems. We have the time, money and technology to make our planet a better, cleaner and safer place. We can plant trees and create parks for endangered animals.
Environmental Protection We can recycle our wastes; persuade enterprises to stop polluting activities, because it is apparent that our careless use of fossil fuels and chemicals is destroying this planet. And it is now more than ever apparent that at the same time we are destroying our bodies and our future. We can recycle waste, convince businesses to stop polluting the environment, since it is clear that our reckless use of fuels and chemicals is destroying our planet and, moreover, it is also clear that we are destroying ourselves and our future.

RECYCLING
(1) Recycling is a very important subject, and one that is becoming more so all the time. As we all know, it reduces waste and is good for the environment. But what do recycling centers do with the things we throw away? I found out some very interesting information.
(2) Recycling paper has been the biggest success. In 1990, in the USA, more than 20 million tons of paper were recycled and turned into birthday cards, cereal boxes, and hundreds of other things. Paper is the easiest material to recycle and, as David Dougherty ofClean Washington said, "You can use it six times over, then burn what"s left to create energy."
(3) Wisconsin cow farmer George Plenty had the most interesting use for recycled paper: he uses it instead of straw in his barn. "It"s cheaper than straw," he said, "but even if the price were the same, I wouldn"t go back."
(4) Plastic is the hardest material to recycle, because there are so many different kinds, all of which need to be treated differently. At the moment, only two per cent of the plastic used in the US is recycled. But is does have its uses: one company uses plastic from recycled car headlights to make windows. In some ways they are better than normal windows, because they are much harder to break. Another company,Image Carpets, uses plastic to make carpets and rugs. A comment made by the manager showed us how attitudes towards recycling have changed. "We're worried that people might refuse to buy the carpets if they knew they were recycled," said sales manager, John Richmeier. "Now we advertise the fact as a marketing strategy."
(5) Metal is another important material. It is easier to recycle an aluminum than to make a new one. It is also 20 per cent cheaper, and uses only 5 per cent of the energy that making a new one could use. So many of the things we use are made of metal, and can all be reused after they stop working. Recycling car parts, for example, is a big business. There is also very little waste involved in recycling metal. Steel is 100 per cent recyclable, and can be recycled hundreds of times. Recycling steel is cheaper than mining it. A lot of America's scrap metal is taken by the Japanese, recycled, and eventually sold back to America as new cars.
(6) 20 per cent of America's glass is recycled, and used for a number of things. For example, it can be mixed with asphalt or cement and used to pave streets. It can also be melted down and used to make new bottles. However, unlike the other materials, glass can also be reused commercially in its original form; many types of bottles are returned to bottling plants, sterilized and refilled. Recycling and reusing glass is actually a huge worldwide business, with bottle banks appearing everywhere .
(7) So remember, think before you throw things away - they may still be useful. If we all make an effort to recycle, we can make the planet a cleaner place to live.

“ Our Earth is Our Home”
The environment is all the things we need to be able to live - clean water to drink, air to breathe and healthy food to eat.
We can't live without
plants and animals.
They help to make the
soil, they clean the
water and air, and they give us all our
The world is our home and we want to see it clean and beautiful.
At the same time we take from nature
as much as we can.
Every day we hear about environmental
problems:
- Waste
- Fires
- Acid rains
- Pollution
- climate change
- The destruction of rainforests
and other wild habitats
Chemical waste pollute river water, killing
wildlife .The pollution affects the health
of people and animals.
We make a lot of waste.
Some of which is TOXIC.
We pour toxic waste into
our rivers, lakes, seas and
Acid rain is rain consisting of water droplets that are unusually acidic because of atmospheric pollution .
Acid rain is a serious environmental problem
that affect s large parts of the United States
and Canada.
Forest fires are one of the greatest natural destroyers
of our forests.
Each year fires burn millions of hectares of forest all over the world.
Rainforests are very dense, warm
and wet forests.
Rainforests are found on every
continent across the Earth,
except Antarctica.
They cover only 6% of the Earth's
surface but yet they contain more
than a half of the world’s plant and animal species.
The Earth has been getting hotter because we are producing too many greenhouses gases.
Because the Earth is
getting hotter, ice is melting.
Scientists say that in 2050
some parts of Great Britain
will be under the sea.
ANIMALS IN
It is necessary to help wild animals.
Many of them are in danger now.
For example, pandas which live in the jungle and white bears which live in the Arctic.

GBOU School 1280 South-Western Administrative District, Moscow Presentation on the topic “Environmental Protection”
THE PROBLEMS OF ECOLOGY ARE VERY IMPORTANT NOW
People pollute the environment. Stop this!!! People must always remember that the Earth is our home!
One of the most important environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Rivers, lakes and even seas have become poisonous. Air pollution is another important problem. Pollution from factories and cars poison the air we breathe.
Nowadays people seem to do everything to make their home unfit for living!
There is a lot of discussion about the destruction of rainforests. It is absolutely necessary to preserve rainforests which are “the lungs” of our planet. The destruction of the rainforests may also have a negative effect on the world climate. Deforestation may lead to the disappearance of natural medicines which have been discovered there.
Depletion of the ozone layer It is one of the most alarming environmental problems. The ozone layer protects the Earth from the dangerous ultraviolet rays of the sun, which get through the atmosphere, causing skin cancer and other serious diseases. Scientists think that the depletion of the ozone layer is the result of air pollution. Cutting down on emissions from large combustion plants and exhaust fumes from vehicles would certainly help solve the problem of air pollution.
When we recycle items, we help to save energy, keep our Earth beautiful, protect air, water, wildlife!
Here are some ideas for the pupils’ projects!
The Animals that can disappear in 2017
Some more animals that can disappear in 2017
There are a lot of simple things we can do to stop the destruction of the environment – recycling, taking care of animals and birds, planting lots of trees and creating new parks for endangered species, cleaning rivers and lakes. But first of all we must change people’s attitude towards the environment. If we do nothing, we are heading for disaster.
