1. Problems and solutions
 ; ; ; Rain forests:
- solution: governments in rainforest countries need to plan and work together. They should also protect certain areas and plant new forest.
 ; ; ; energy:
- at the moment, 94% of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels. There’s enough coal for the next 300 years, but oil is only enough for next 50 years. What happens then? Well, one answer is nuclear energy. But after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, many people think nuclear power isn’t safe.
- The green solutions: they all use natural energy already in the environment:
- Wind energy
- Solar energy
- Wave energy
- Geothermal energy (from hot rocks under the Earth)
 ; ; ; Acid rain:
- solutions: Industrial countries should control their levels of pollution. This is already happening in some parts of Europe.

- Animals used for scientific research: rabbits.
- Animals killed for sport; foxes.
- Animals killed for fur, skin: crocodies.
- Animals – their environment are in danger: glorillas.
- Animals kept in cruel conditions on farm: chicken, cows.
- solution: groups like Greenpeace have already helped to stop whale hunting. Now, they want to stop fur hunting, too ->; they believe in animal rights. Animals shouldn’t suffer. The cruelty must stop.
2. Why is protecting environment important?
 ; ; ; We need a healthy environment in order to survive so we must protect it. We need to protect the environment now to help prevent health problems, to maintain the ecosystem and to preserve the earth for our children.
 ; ; ; Pollution from factories and cars can cause damages to the environment. Moreover, pollution cause health problems, particularly for children and the elderly who have weaker immune system. We need to ensure that there are controls on the amount of pollution when possible so as to prevent health problems caused by breathing dirty air.
 ; ;  ;We also need to pay attention to the ecosystem. Trees, plant life, and people all depent on each other. An unhealthy environment can have harmful effects on the ecosystem. For example, if a plant dies because of changes to the environment and that plant is food for an animal, that animal won’t have any food. If human uses that animal as a food source there could be big problems.
 ; ; ;  ;If we do not respect our environment now, it will continue to get worse and our children will suffer the consequences. They wouldn’t have the same quality of air to breath or natural beauty to admire. That would be sad.
 ; ; ; Without clean air to breath, a healthy ecosystem and a future for our children the human race would not survive. That’s why protecting our environment is important.
