What We Can do on Environmental Protection
It's about how to protect environment in our daily lives.
As we know,
natural resources on the earth are over-exploited and natural environment is polluted seriously. Actions should be taken to protect it; "environmental protection" slogans without actions are meaningless. What exactly we can do to make our slogans come true?
Water saving
About 70% surface of the earth' is covered by water, of which 96.5% part is sea water. The rest is fresh water though, half of them is in the form of ice. The actual utilized water, such as rivers and lakes, accounts for only 0.003%of total water amount on he earth. Thus, we need to make good use of water; wasting water is a kind of guilt to human being.
Limit use on detergents
Most detergents are chemical products, which can cause water quality deterioration if they are discharge to rivers. Long-term improper use of cleaners will damage people's nerve systems, suffocate intelligence development, or even cause mental disorder. If cleansers are left on clothes, they may cause skin irritation.carcinogenic substance in high concentration cleaners may intrude into human bodies from mouths and skin. Limit use of detergents or cleansers will reduce the risks of water pollution.
Limit use on electrical appliances
A great deal of coal, gas and fuel are applied in industries, commerce, housing and transportation. These materials will create excessive amount of carbon dioxide, which, just like a layer of glass, can block heat diffuse to outer space, so thel heat will stay in atmosphere and formed a "greenhouse effect". The "greenhouse effect" tends to make a change on global weather, resulted in devastating droughts and floods and melting polar which cause rising sea levels. It's estimated that many altitude regions, such as Bangladesh, Netherlands, Egypt, etc, are likely to submerged into the sea. If we can have a limit use on electrical appliances at home, less power would be consumed up and the tragedies may not happen.
If all people take joint efforts on environmental protection, it will bring benefits to many generations.
