We live on Earth surrounded by air, water, soil, plants and animals. These elements make our environment. Oceans, seas, mountains, jungle and rivers that are made by these elements have a big role in our life. Some of our incorrect usage of everything can cause pollution in the environment. Wasteful cutting of the jungle's trees, or incorrect exploitation of earth and destroying the water of rivers can expose living things to risk. Factories, cars, and even people can be the cause of pollution in nature. Factories that have some poisonous waste thrown in rivers without any filtering can be the cause of marine death. In addition, factories have some harmful smoke and gas. They pollute the air and it can be harmful to human life. Some materials might not be absorbed in earth so easily. Therefore, they must be buried in a deep hole or burned. If we do not separate our garbage, these materials can accumulate in nature.

When we know what the environment is and how can it be polluted then we might ask what the solution to these problems is? There are a few solutions. Factories must throw out all waste using a filtering system and use a suitable air filter for their exhaust to prevent air pollution. We can help by separating of our garbage into waste and compost and by helping authorities destroy the material that is not going to be absorbed in earth. Another way to protect the environment can be a shift away from fossil fuels to renewable energy. We need to save our natural sources like rivers, jungles, seas and oceans. We also have to care for our animals.
