Nowadays, the earth has many problems like the problem of air, soil and water pollution. Maybe, these problems will influence our lives badly and this is aggravating for people. The basic problem is air pollution. The air is polluted by the chimneys of the factories and by cars. The solution is that filters must be used by the factories and the movement of the car must be done by temperament gas. Another simultaneous problem is the pollution of water. The wastes of factories and the fertilizers of agricultural cultivations pollute the rivers and lakes. So, when the factories work at waterworks, the water which we drink is polluted. The solution of the problem is not difficult. It is very simple. The wastes and the fertilizers must not be rushed into the sea but with chemical methods to dissolve these. The managers, who own the factories, should find a way that the wastes must be rushed at tanks. These suggestions are helpful. They'll help the earth to be better than now!

Nowadays pollution occupies our planet a lot. This pollution is caused by us and this happens because all of us throw everyday everything we have on the road and this explains the pollution in our environment. Of course this pollution appeared to our world because we throw litters everywhere. Pollution affects the air, the water and our ground, generally affects our environment. The only result of this is that we can not breath clean air, we can not drink safe water because if it is polluted it can cause a lot of problems to our health. Now about the ground if it is polluted it isn't so good for us and a lot of animals may die one day. Generally the pollution we cause every day can also affect our psychology. One way to protect our planet is to start recycling anything which can cause problems to our environment. But there are some materials which we can not recycle or better we can't do anything about these. And the only result is that we continue to pollute our environment.

Pollution is the contamination of the environment as a result of human activities. The term pollution refers primarily to the fouling of air, water, and land by wastes. We have a lot of different kinds of pollution like air pollution, water pollution. In recent years we have discovered a wider range of pollution to the environment. 50 litters, billboards are said to constitute visual pollution; noise excessive enough to cause psychological or physical damage is considered noise pollution; and waste heat that alters local climate or affects fish populations in rivers is called thermal pollution. Á growing alternative to such disposal is recycling. Industry has found that when it undertakes serious recycling programs, the savings can sometimes be considerable. In addition to reducing manufacturing and materials costs, such programmes can insulate the companies from liability for environmental violations. Agriculture, which is the cause of much environmental degradation, can use organic recycling, or the reuse of manure and crop residues (sometimes called "green manure"). Water, in one sense, is always recycled, in as much as there is a finite amount of it available on earth and it constantly moves through its cycle of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Deliberate programs for recycling water include use of wetlands as areas to filter harmful wastes from the substance, or using partly treated sewage for raising fish. Municipal sewage- and water-treatment plants, of course, are fundamental recycling agents.

RECYCLING is the process of recovering and reusing waste products-from household use, manufacturing, agriculture, and business-and thereby reducing their burden on the environment. During World War É and World War Ð, shortages of essential materials led to collection drives for silk, rubber, and other commodities. In recent years the environmental benefits of recycling have become a major component of waste management programs.

In our days people don't protect the environment and pollute it. People should understand how important it is this for our health and protect it. People pollute air, water and ground. The air is polluted because filters are not used by factories and cars and so exhausted gases pollute the atmosphere. The pollution of water becomes with the people who use chemicals for their crops, rubbish that is thrown and the fall of acid rain. The pollution in ground also becomes with the chemical, rubbish and acid rain. People many times throw their rubbish down and pollute the environment. If people start recycling the objects that they don't use any more, new objects will be made and the environment won't be polluted. With the recycling of paper we can make new paper and the trees won't be destroyed. Also with the recycling of glass and aluminum we will make new and we won't waste without a reason what nature gives us.

The water is very important for our lives. From the biological point our body is 2/3 water and we naturally lose a lot of water everyday. We need to take in 1 litre of water a day to replace water we naturally lose. Fresh water is a renewable source. Usable water comes from rivers, lakes, streams and underground sources. Also usable water makes up only 1% of all water, the rest is unfit for drinking and this is not so much to cover people's needs. We use water for these personal uses: we quench our thirst, we keep ourselves clean, and we keep ourselves cool in hot days of the summer. For social uses we use it in farming, in industry and for electricity. Whereas we do not appreciate the water we have been given and we pollute it in every moment in our lives. There can be two ways of pollution the first is like that: from the cars exhaust come out harmful gases, from the factories come out fumes and from the central heating in our houses come out fumes. All these make up polluted atmosphere. Then from the polluted clouds we have acid rain and this is very catastrophic. Then the acid rain goes to the rivers and naturally to the sea and pollutes it. The second way is: from factories come out waste, from the city come out effluents and go in waterworks, from the hill come out pesticides and from agricultural cultivations and all these go to a river which ends to a lake and this makes it a polluted lake. And in these ways we pollute all the water we can drink.
