Pollution of environment
These days we often hear that our living conditions are getting more and more serious because of the destruction of our environment.It is common that many trees and animals are near extinction, and the all-important food chain has been destroyed.Why does such circumstance occur in spite of social protects?
For one thing, the population of the world is increasing so rapidly that the world has been so crowded.For another, the overuse of natural resources has influenced the balance of natural ecology.What’s more, since the industrial revolution, it is natural that a great number of factories have been springing up like mushrooms.The smoke and harmful chemicals released from factories also pollute the environment.To solve the problem is not easy at all, but is worth.We should do something such as planting more trees, equipping cars with pollution-control devices and learning to recycling natural resources to improve the present situation.I do believe everything will be better in the future.

19Of course , it’s their privilege.20But when do this now, they often announced the problem has been solved, thus incurred criticism from colleagues.21In response to these criticisms, those who are alarmist accused of these critics and journalists to be deceived by the entertainment
industry.22Such a conflict is not helpful to the scientific research and the society.
