Protection of the Environment(保護(hù)環(huán)境)

Protection of the Environment

     Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.

      Today things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources,and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on earth will not survive.

     We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet,with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught.We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear. Yet, we continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees. We see that if rivers are polluted with waste products, we will die. Yet, waste products are

still put into rivers.

     We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there won't be enough food.What can we do to solve these problems?

     If we eat more vegetables and less meat, there will be more food available. Land for crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are kept.

     Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycie them.

     The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.

     Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems we shall have a better and cleaner planet in the future.

    如今，一切都改變了。世界變得擁擠異常。我們正在耗盡我們的自然資源，有毒化學(xué)制品的使用也正污染著環(huán)境。如果我們繼續(xù)這樣下去，地球上的生命將不復(fù)存在。

    我們都知道如果從海里捕捉太多的魚(yú)，海里就不會(huì)再有魚(yú)了。但是，現(xiàn)代化的捕魚(yú)技術(shù)使得捕魚(yú)量越來(lái)越大。我們都知道如果砍伐太多的樹(shù)木，森林就會(huì)消失。但是，我
