How to Protect Our Environment?

An essential problem of the 21st century is the world pollution. Currently the environment is so much contaminated that urgent measures should be taken. The single individual cannot be blamed for the world pollution; however every person should take care of his or her habitat. In addition, it is vital that environmental issues should be treated internationally. There are trivial things that we can do individually to save the environment. In making some small changes in the way we do in daily activities, we can help to protect our environment from being polluted.

The first thing that we can do to save our environment is by walking or riding our bike instead of driving whenever possible. In doing so, we can reduce the air pollution. In facts, fumes from the vehicles contain carbon monoxide which is very dangerous to human life. Carbon monoxide is one of the poisonous gas which can cause headache, nausea, the shortness of breath, dizziness and confusion to human. If we can reduce the content of carbon monoxide in the air, for sure we can also protect our earth from being polluted. At the same time, we can maintain our health as we cycling we can inhale fresh air which is very good for our respiratory system. So that we can easily say that one of the ways to save our environment is by walking or cycling whenever possible.

Flora such as rafflesia also decrease in number and government look at it seriously and try to make an effort to prevent it from extinct. Precisely, the other ways to protect our environment is by opening maintenance and conservation centre for wildlife to avoid extinction.
