Protecting the Environment: Everyone’s Responsibility

Our living environment is increasingly polluted due to human activities. Climate change, air, water, and soil pollution threaten human health and life on Earth. Therefore, protecting the environment is not only the responsibility of governments and organizations but also the responsibility of every individual.

The Impact of Environmental Pollution

Environmental pollution causes many serious consequences, including:

• Air pollution: Causes respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, cancer…
• Water pollution: Lack of clean water, causing diseases, affecting the ecosystem.
• Soil pollution: Reduced crop yields, groundwater pollution, affecting human health.
• Climate change: Increased global temperatures, rising sea levels, extreme weather events…

Practical Actions to Protect the Environment

Each of us can contribute to environmental protection through small but meaningful actions:

In daily life:

• Save water: Turn off the tap when not in use, use water-saving devices.
• Save electricity: Turn off lights and electrical appliances when not in use, use energy-saving light bulbs.
• Reduce waste: Sort waste, recycle waste, limit the use of plastic items.
• Use public transport: Reduce emissions from personal vehicles.
• Plant trees: Increase green areas, help clean the air.

In production and business:

Protecting the environment is the responsibility of the whole society. Only when every citizen is aware of the importance of environmental protection and actively participates in environmental protection activities can we build a clean and sustainable living environment for future generations.
