Environmental pollution is one of the most serious problems facing (1) mankind today. Air, water and soil are necessary to the survival of all living things. Badly polluted air can cause illness and even death. (2) Polluted water kills fish and other marine life. Pollution (3) of soil reduces the amount of land for growing food. Environmental pollution also brings ugliness to man’s (4) natural beautiful world.

Of course, there are all different kinds of environmental problems and I do not know which problem you want discussed. I will write about global warming.

One of the major environmental problems today is global warming. It is caused by an excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This causes what is known as a "greenhouse effect."

The major effect of this greenhouse effect is to raise the temperature of the world as a whole. If this continues, climate patterns around the world will change. In addition, sea levels will probably rise, which will be bad for low-lying areas.

There are many possible solutions, all of them have to do with emitting less carbon dioxide -- either by using less energy or by finding energy sources that do not emit carbon dioxide.

  One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution, and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs, and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1, 300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the government does not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world's water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles offshore.

       Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.
