When I think about the future of the world, I am really pessimistic. In my opinion, people have not been protecting the environment properly for too long. Nowadays we can see many terrible results of it. The ozone layer is getting thinner, which has terrible consequences. It is dangerous for people as well as for animals and plants. The ozone layer is not enough protective anymore. Moreover, people have been cutting down the rain forests and now they are much smaller than they used to be. It is very unreasonable, because these forests produce the great amount of oxygen, which is essential for life on Earth. The growth of industrialization of the world is also the reason of the greenhouse effect. The climate on the Earth is getting warmer and warmer. The icebergs melt and the level of water in the oceans is constantly rising. Moreover, the fumes are terribly bad for the health of people and animals. The number of different diseases connected with civilization will keep rising. The growing production of exhaust fumes is also the cause of the appearance of acid rains in many parts of the world. Such rains destroy the plants and even the buildings and are really dangerous for all living creatures. Summing up, I think that it is difficult to be optimistic about the future of the world. People should rather start doing everything to protect the environment and at the same time- get used to the idea that the world will not exist for ever.
- What do you/ the state do to protect the environment?
I try to do much to protect the environment. Of course, I would like to be able to save people, animals and plants and let them live in the clear and friendly environment, but it is not possible. However, I make a selection of the garbage. I collect cans, paper, bottles and throw them to special containers. I also tell all people I know, how important it is to collect different kinds of products, which can be recycled. I do not drive a car, but only ride a bicycle.
The state does not do much to change the bad situation of the environment. The politicians claim that it would cost too much money to change it. According to me it is not true and we should consider the protection of our environment and of the most important issues not only for ourselves, but also for the state.
