REFLECTION TASK 2A

            I want to talk about today protecting the environment.I chose this topic because I think it has  a highly societal significance. When we look around us we can see that our planet is facing many enviromental problems like climate changes, global warming, natural resource depletion,  loss of biodiversity and so on. Earth is our only house and we don't have such a technology to transport all of people to another planet. Therefore, we have to protect the environment, and  if we don't protect the environment, not only we are killing the environment, but we are killing ourselves as well.

There are many precautions to protect the environment. Firstly, governments should take urgent steps to limit the damaging effects of pollution. The governments should ban or limit the using of vehicles which emit excessive amount of smoke and stop factories which leave their wastes to the rivers, seas or public areas.

Also, the governments can limit the amount of pesticides and chemicals which are used by planters, in this way; air, water and soil contamination can be reduced. Secondly, by using the renewable energy resources, environment can be protected. Renewable energy resources are much cleaner than fossil fuels and the other energy technologies. For example, whereas burning coal while producing electricity emits excessive amount of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere ,which  is the cause of air pollution and greenhouse effect, there is no bad enviromental impact of using hydropower to produce electricity. Lastly, raising awareness can protect the environment. It is because, the more people know about what enviromental problems are, and how they will affect our life, the more they will be willing to do something protect the environment. To sum up, environment can be protected  by taking some precautions such as establishing some enviromental policies which include bans and limitations, using renewable energy resources and raising individual awareness.
