mention our source of food. Water pollution is caused by harmful waster from industries, farms
and sewerage systems which are dumped into our sources of water such as rivers and lakes. This
irresponsible act contaminates our drinking water and can cause serious health problems and can
even culminate in death. Most people today agree that it should be as economically as possible,
in the use of natural resources, especially energy and to limit pollution. Environmentalists claim
that sometimes the producers should clean production process, that limit the amount of waste and
emissions they produce, or they will be forced to close. Manufacturers often said that it is often
cost-effective to clean and impossible if their competitors do not face the same constraints.
Moreover, if all polluting industries were closed, the economy would collapse. They suggest that
many environmentalists are ignorant or simply naive when it comes to the economy. Some
producers give financial rewards to those who save energy use, and pollute less, and penalize
polluters, but without the use of taxes. Many environmentalists disagree, as they see pollution as
a moral issue rather than an economic one. Another problem is deforestation. Deforestation is
increasing as a global concern. In recent years deforestation has risen to dangerous levels.
Deforestation is the permanent devastation of native forests and woods. Deforestation happens in
many ways: when trees are cut down to grow crops, for livestock, logging so wood can be used
for building things like houses and furniture, for roads and neighborhoods, for firewood, and
forest fires. Although there may be a need to cut down trees to some extent, humans and other
species need to protect the forests and woodlands. Trees are not just beautiful; they also are
house for many kinds of plants and animals that could become extinct with deforestation. They
also provide good things for humans and for the environment. Deforestation disrupts the carbon
cycle. The forest trees take carbon dioxide as well as pollutants from the atmosphere. When the
trees are destroyed or burned or left to rot, carbon is released into the air as C02 and methane. To
stop this action it is impossible but to reduce it we can, for example to recycle paper, to
economize paper use. Generally speaking we must underline the fact that people dont have
enough knowledge in this field of pollution. To develop this, government must implement some
educational programs from early ages in institutions like schools, and even in university to keep
it in mind that environment represents our everything. To sum up I may say that is our choice to
life in a better world or not, this is our planet and we must save it for the next generations.
