CARE NOT TO CONTAMINATE THE ENVIRONMENT
As is well known, our environment is more polluted every day. Being factors of
this contamination the pesticides used in agriculture, illegal mining and
indiscriminate felling of trees.
Human beings should not carry out the activities mentioned above, on the contrary,
we must contribute to the care of the earth. We must plant trees, recycle. since if we
do not take proper care, our habitat will be destroyed over time.
We must implement practices that contribute to the environment and pollution
control. We should not only use cars if we do not implement the use of the bicycle,
we must use sustainable energy, we must recycle, we should help to collect the
garbage that we find on the ground and take it to the right place.
We must not allow our forests to be ending due to industrialization, because this
indiscriminate logging leads to the detriment of our habitat. We should not accept
illegal mining, nor should we waste water.
We must carry out campaigns for garbage collection, we must encourage our
friends and neighbors to be part of caring for the planet. We must carry out
campaigns for the planting of trees and thus recover a little vegetation and home for
many animals.

Negative effects on the environment
Excessive use of pesticides, indiscriminate felling of trees. There are no campaigns

what environmental issue have you recently read about in the news?
The news I read was about the Nukak-Makú Indians, cornered by palm, coca, and
criminal gangs. Illegal palm surrounds the Nukak reservation and actions to stop
this expansion appear to be insufficient. Coca and livestock are also devouring,
little by little, the home of a people that until less than 33 years ago had had no
contact with the "West."
what do you have to do to recycle?
The first thing to keep in mind to start recycling is the 3R rule - reduce, reuse and
recycle. The key to recycling materials is learning to properly separate recyclable
materials from those that are waste and cannot be recovered.

Become aware, cooperate and respect the environment. Recycle, reuse, plant trees,
invest in renewable energy etc.
how does planting trees help the environmental?
Trees produce oxygen, purify the air, form fertile soils, prevent erosion, maintain
clean rivers, capture water for aquifers, serve as refuges for fauna, reduce soil
temperature, promote the establishment of other species, and regenerate nutrients
from the soil and improve the landscape

WRITING A LETTER
write a short letter expressing an environmental concern.
LETTER TO EARTH
We all know that the Earth is our home, but we are all aware that human beings
have worked to destroy it, altering the riches that nature has given us for many
thousands of years.
The effects of this neglect are not very alarmed every day: the climate has been
altered, the natural cycles are not regular and, as a consequence, our flora and fauna
have been seriously damaged.
It seems that our values have also been weakened, because, despite this evident
deterioration of nature, we operate in a world lacking sustainable development and
an equitable distribution of resources.
We all have a share of responsibility for this task, since only together can a
sustainable society be created, willing to respect the various forms of life, take care
of nature.

PROBLEMS
Describe what habitat loss means
Habitat destruction is the process by which a natural habitat is transformed into a
habitat unable to support its native species. The plants and animals that used it are
destroyed or forced to emigrate, as a consequence there is a reduction in
biodiversity
what is the effect of cutting down trees for cattle farming?
What causes the felling of trees for livestock is the deforestation of forests, losing a
vital source for our ecosystem
how do human actions impact the environment?
The effects of urbanization, agriculture and industrial livestock, forest clearing and
CO2 emissions, among other actions, accelerate the loss of biodiversity due to
global warming, desertification or the pollution of oceans and rivers.

the slope of a river, inhabited by animals, in short a pleasant place. The later shows
us the lack of responsibility and awareness towards the environment and animals
and even human beings themselves.

or depleted, generally with the aim of allocating the soil to another activity.

WORKING FOR A CAUSE

discuss a possible solution for the island of rubbish in the Pacific Ocean.
A possible solution is to try to create channels for the collection of the waste that is
thrown into the sea, also to maintain some control and vigilance to be able to
control that people dump their garbage in the ocean. We would provide a great help
to all beings being aware that we will all be affected if we do not take action on the
matter and do not act responsibly for the care of our natural resources
briefly tell the story of Easter island. what can we learn from it?
Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui, is an island of volcanic origin with a
triangular shape, created by the action of three main volcanoes located at each of its
vertices, Maunga Terevaka, Poike and Rano Kau. "The triangular aspect of Rapa
Nui is the result of the eruption of three main volcanic centers and around 70
secondary volcanic cones.
Despite the fact that Easter Island is one of the most remote places with difficult
environmental conditions on the planet, an extraordinary culture developed on the
island. The first colonizers of the Island, of Polynesian origin, would have arrived
around the fourth century of the Christian era. "It’s unique and yet deciphered
hieroglyphic writing, its monumental architecture and exceptional megalithic
statuary in both quantity and quality, as well as its advanced astronomical
knowledge, have made the Rapa Nui culture one of the most unique.
Without a doubt, one of the biggest tourist attractions on Easter Island are the
moais. These are gigantic stone sculptures, most of them carved out of porous tuff,
stones of volcanic origin.
The main teaching is how nature is maintained despite the years, how its beauty
attracts tourists. It highlights the responsibility that must be taken with the
environment and how these places become attractive thanks to their fauna, stone
sculptures, etc.
Is it possible to work together and change the world? explain.
If possible, since unity is strength, if both of us become aware and act responsibly,
we can turn this great problem around completely.
