«My Carbon Footprint»

Nowadays, many have begun to talk about environmental problems and caring for nature. This topic is discussed in schools, higher educational institutions and on television.

Such a stir began because of the problems that appeared as a result of negligent human treatment of the environment. Ignoring even the simplest rules can lead to disastrous consequences.

An example is abandoned cigarette butts that have not been extinguished, which can cause a forest fire. The release of chemical production waste into the atmosphere leads to acid rain, the appearance of ozone holes, and their release into the water leads to pollution of rivers, seas and the death of their inhabitants.

Thus, human actions endanger the environment, and hence their own lives. The resources that we use to ensure a better and healthier life for humanity can turn against us and become a poison that we will take day after day.

I would like to note that, thanks to the growing popularity of this topic, many people and countries have begun to come up with various ways to solve this problem.

The first interesting method appeared in Sweden, where the replacement of combustible fuel with biofuels is carried out. This is a bold technological and eco-friendly solution that moves the country forward.

The second is the most primitive garbage sorting. It can affect the well-being of the whole world. If you sort the garbage, it will be easier to get rid of it or to recycle it for new use.

The third is carrying out cleaning activities on the banks of rivers and seas, near schools. Such events help to clean up the territory next to important places for a person and teach people to discipline and maintain order and cleanliness next to themselves.

The fourth is the rejection of plastic bags and the transition to organic types. The package is one of the most purchased products nowadays, and even it can have a detrimental effect. Because of the packages, 1 million birds and 100 thousand marine animals die every year, not counting fish. To solve this problem, it is not always necessary to buy a special eco-bag. You can start with a woven string bag, paper bags and fabric bags.

The most important thing we can do in relation to nature is to change our attitude towards it. A person will begin to make efforts only if he loves something: himself, his relatives, his city and the environment with which he is connected from birth

As for me, I learned to love nature from school. I do the simplest but most important things: I do not litter on the streets and outside the city, carry all my purchases in paper bags, spend " garbage collection days" with my family near my house and tell others about the need for this procedure. Sometimes other people need to be pushed to make the right choice.

In conclusion, I want to note the importance of preserving the environment. The earth is our home, which suffers through our fault. We must take responsibility for our actions. Friends, let us take care of nature together!
