ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
In recent years the problem of environmental pollution has become a
serious problem in big cities in our country. So, what are reasons and possible
measures for this problem?
Nowadays, we are living in a city with high population density, so domestic
waste is the first reason. Then many people's social consciousness is not high.
In several areas, they throw rubbish on streets, canals and rivers. It is easy for us
to see rubbish of all kinds floating on the water. Moreover, uncultured people
even pee in the public place.
Now, let's come to other reasons. Our city is overloaded with vehicles that
expel a lot of smoke and dust. This contributes to the heat of the air, and causes
pollution.
Besides that, in several places, trees have been cut down to have room for
buildings, hotels, or supermarkets. This makes the atmosphere in our city muggy
and stuffy.

- muggy (adi) nồm ẩm, oi bức

Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time
Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes.
It comes from household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the
waste people produce and throw away. What can be done to stop this pollution?
Surprisingly, a person can help save the environment by doing simple things.
First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again.
Recycling can also reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper
products. It takes very little effort. It is not hard to place plastic and glass
bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.
Second, we need to watch the amount of water used in the home. It can be
conserved by taking short showers instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets,
using the dishwasher or washing machine only when fully loaded, or simply
turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth.
Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but
should also try to use this waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and
food scraps can be made into compost for plants. The average person produces
4.3 pounds of waste every day, but we can reduce that amount by recycling and
reusing.
If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming
more polluted.
