Native American poem Only when all the rivers have run dry and all the fish in the sea have died Only when all the rainforests have been burnt down and there is no food for the animals Only when all the blue skies have been filled with smoke and the cities of the world have choked Will the white man understand that it’s too late to save the earth.

Why are we heading for disaster? The countdown has started for the earth! It is raining less and less and we are using more and more water. More and more forests are destroyed every year, but we are cutting down more and more trees. The food we eat is genetically modified but governments do little to control genetic engineering.

What should people stop doing? They should stop polluting the rivers. They should stop burning forests. They should stop genetic engineering in plants and animals.

What should people start doing? At home Don’t waste water! Take a shower rather than a bath! Don’t let water run while shaving/washing/brushin g your teeth. Stop dumping rubbish, recycle it! Protect the ozone layer, don’t use aerosol sprays because of fumes.

What should people start doing? At home When you leave your room, always turn the lights off. Turn your TV after watching instead of using standby button. Turn off the computer at a lunchtime or if you are having a break.

What should people start doing? In the street Pollution from exhaust fumes does a lot of damage to the ozone layer. It is one of the causes of global warming. You shouldn't use your car for short distance – you can walk or use your bike instead.

What should people start doing? Shopping Say ‘No’ to plastic bags in shops. Take your own bag made out of other material –not plastic. Buy recycled products if you can. Use bottle banks, can banks and fabric banks.

Conclusion Our planet is unique. If our governments and we take actions now, there might be some hope for the future. We must act now! It’s easy and cool to be ‘green’!

Выводы Жизнедеятельность человека вызывает глобальные изменения в природе. Экологическое образование - требование времени, так как надо воспитывать бережное отношение к окружающей среде. Если каждый человек внесет свой посильный вклад в дело сохранения нашей Планеты и не останется равнодушным к проблемам экологии, наша жизнь улучшиться.
