The Ecological Problems
Let’s Save the Earth Together!
Natural Resources
The population of the world is growing very fast. In the last 40 years, it has doubled. By the year 2200, it will be about 10,000 million. Our cities will be bigger. We’ll need more factories and roads. We’ll need more water and more natural resources. If we don’t change the way we use energy and natural resources, we’ll have serious problems in the future.
Every day we throw away millions of tons of rubbish. Half of this paper that we can use again, we can recycle it. A lot of rubbish we throw away, like plastic, metals and chemicals will not disappear for hundreds of years. We also produce a lot of unnecessary things, such as packaging. All of this pollutes the natural environment. So, not to have big ecological problems in the future, we must avoid using non-biodegradable material. Besides, we must reduce many unnecessary things that we produce and use.
Many natural resources are not renewable. Gas, oil and coal will come to an end one day. Other resources, such as trees, take a long time to grow. We have to reduce the amount of resources and energy we use. We also try to use such alternative ways as the wind and the sun to make energy.

At present we cannot imagine our life without the Internet. The Internet is necessary for each person. It is an integral part of our life. All people use the Internet on different purposes: for dialogue, for searching the information, for work, for studying, for fun and entertainment. We search something with the help of the searching engine. I think that the most important problem of the Internet is the addiction of people to it. Some people surf the Internet for many days and forget about their relatives and real life.
