In recent years there has been significance rise in people's concern for the environment. We all affect natural environment. Our actions are now threatening the earth we live on. The Earth is our home and we need to protect it from the great danger it is facing today.

　We, the people of Earth have wasted and misused the natural resources. Today we are facing problems like green house effect and global warming. Earth's environment is being polluted in many ways.

　Wise and careful use of natural resources will preserve, conserve and save our planet.
Soil is an important natural resource. Man's activity affects the soil. Rich soil is lost due to soil erosion. To minimize this, trees should be planted in large numbers. We as students can at least plant one tree every year.

　Water is essential for us. We use water for our basic needs like drinking, washing and cooking. Polluted water is unsafe for us and it also causes many diseases. Water should not be wasted. Rainwater can also be collected and used effectively.

　Throughout our lifetime whether it is a man, a plant or an animal, all breathe air to survive. Harmful gases and carbon particles pollute the air. Due to industrialization the air gets polluted and we fall sick. Automobile factories emit harmful gases pollution should be checked. Factories should use air filters to reduce carbon in smoke. Instead of individual vehicles, pool in can be done to save fuel and reduce air pollution.

　Forests should be conserved at a large scale because plants and trees give out oxygen during photosynthesis.

　Pollution causes greenhouse effect which leads to global warming. Because of this the temperature of the Earth is rising thereby leading to drastic climatic changes.

　To avoid this, air pollution should be checked.

　There is a need to conserve oil and coal also as these are non-renewable sources of energy. Once finished we cannot get them again.

　So alternate sources of energy such as solar energy, hydel energy, wind energy may also be used.

　If we remember 3Rs – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle – in our daily life, we will be contributing towards conservation of resources in environment.

　By educating ourselves we can educate our family and friends in joining us to save the environment.
