Nowadays, people polluate so much nature that it is already "suffocating", trying to still survive. Creating new things, mankind forgets about trees, seas, oceans, plants, animals and so on. Unfortunately, myself, I am only one person, so I cannot change the whole world. On the other hand, I can change my befaviour towards nature so that I won't worsen it anymore.
For example, many people throw the garbage everywhere instead of doing it into the right places - something I do regularly (I mean, I only throw the garbage into the right places). I am not into killing animals, so if I go to the forest, I only do it in order to breath in fresh air. Also, Saturdays have become the days when my neighbours and I are cleaning our yard to make it more beautiful.
I could do a bigger list of what I am trying to do in order to fight against polluation, but now, I would like to see yours!
Have a nice day!
Sincerely yours,
Ваше имя.
