[Natybrisa]

Please, could anyone check my essay? thanks a lot

It is a fact that day-by-day pollution in the world is increasing, and this causes many environmental, health and future problems. Nevertheless, fortunately, I think that people have been conscious of the problem and they are trying solving this situation.

Broadly speaking, people have the idea of using reachable batteries instead of disposable batteries. The majority of them replied that batteries not only take up landfill space (they cannot be incinerated); they can leak acid into the Earth, which indicates that removable batteries are eminently suitable. In addition to this, there are very few human beings who enjoy using only as much toilet paper as they need because of the fact using less toilet paper they protect virgin forest from being cut down unnecessarily.

Others members of my neighbourhood for example chose to bring a cloth bag when they shop, or use a string bag due to the fact that plastic bags are not biodegradable (materials which are turned naturally by bacteria into substances that do not harm the environment) even if they are. In addition, the ink used on the plastic bags is made up of cadmium, and it is highly toxic when it is released to the atmosphere. This method mostly cuts down on water and air pollution, which is very beneficial to both the environment and the community.

Last but not at least, many people teach their children to take care of the environment, do not throw rubbish into the street, rivers, field, etc. Adults try to be their example, if parents do not throw rubbish where they cannot, children will not do it. For instance, adults not mix plastic waste with organic waste. For each kind of waste, there is a proper place where they put it. What more, several human beings avoiding using plastic whenever they can is substantially better because plastics never break down, and they have led to the poisoning and death of numerous sea creatures.

In conclusion, along these lines, I will say that all people are intensely aware of the environment issues. However, I strongly recommended using renewable energy sources such as in public transports or in our own home because the reduction of pollution per household be equivalent to that of planting 400 trees. Therefore, we have to help from our homes and to improve our behaviour IN the world. Everybody likes to have a beautiful world and we have to look after it so that the next generations can enjoy a good life.
