Protecting the Environment: Everyone’s Responsibility

The Current State of Environmental Pollution

Our living environment is facing serious challenges due to air, water, and soil pollution. Population growth, rapid industrialization, and excessive energy consumption have led to climate change, ozone depletion, the greenhouse effect, and rising global temperatures. The consequences are extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, and storms, which are increasing, threatening human lives and the existence of many species.

Causes of Environmental Pollution

There are many causes of current environmental pollution. One of the main causes is unsustainable industrial development, which releases large amounts of toxic waste into the environment. The use of fossil fuels also contributes significantly to air pollution and climate change. In addition, the lack of awareness among some people about environmental protection is also an important cause of this situation. Littering, using plastic bags, and deforestation all cause serious consequences.

To protect the environment, we need the participation of the entire society. Each citizen needs to raise their environmental awareness, actively participate in environmental protection activities such as planting trees, collecting waste, saving energy, etc. The government needs to have stronger policies to control environmental pollution, promote sustainable industrial development, and strengthen environmental education for citizens.
