PART B_2

A Clean Environment for Everyone
All living things on Earth, such as humans, animals, and plants are supported by the environment. It provides food, water, shelter, and everything that is essential for daily survival. Humans’ choices and actions affect the health of the environment which also affects humans’ health, economies, and communities.
The environment can greatly affect humans’ health. Research about human health proves that being in a clean environment can affect humans’ health by improving their attention, boosting their moods, and making their bodies fight against different diseases. That is the reason why it is important for humans to maintain a clean environment, especially in the places where they live in. However, due to activities in the modern world, the environment is getting damaged day by day. Air and water pollution have become major problems in most parts of the world. Toxic pollutants affect the quality of air and water through man-made chemicals from households and factories. Exposure to these pollutants could make humans at risk for diseases and weaken their body defenses. In addition to that, unborn babies could also be at risk for physical abnormalities that could affect their lives in the long run. Nowadays, there are many ways in which everyone could join in cleaning the environment. One of the most popular ways is recycling. By recycling materials, the amount of waste that causes pollution could be lessened. Another way is reusing materials such as plastic bags and water bottles to lessen the use of fossil fuel that is required to make plastic materials.
Looking after the environment is every human’s responsibility. It is important to make Earth a better place for future generations.
