The Problems of Environment
People have thought that the environment is an unlimited 
source of resources, that the atmosphere, forests, rivers and seas 
are capable of absorbing all wastes. The environment supplies the 
economy of any country with its resources such as timber, mine rals 
and oil. As a result, natural resources are becoming reduced, air 
and water are polluted, and the environment is unable to absorb 
all its wastes.
For example, waste gases cause acid rains; this leads to forest 
damage and therefore reduces the resources of forests. Another 
problem is water shortage resulting from unlimited use of it. The 
third one is destroying the ozone layer of the Earth through pol-
lution from plants and cars. One more problem is damage to wild-
life. It is possible that some kinds of animals can disappear due to 
people’s activities.
Some territories in Russia are also suffering environmental 
problems. Many of these problems have been caused by economic 
activities. Many forests in the north of European Russia and the 
Far East are under threat.
If we want to live in a healthier world we must learn to use 
the environment carefully and protect it from damage caused 
by our activities. Otherwise very soon we will have no world to 
live in.
