Paragraph Writing-Preserving Environment

WAYS TO PRESERVE ENVIRONMENT

In today’s scenario, the future of humankind on the earth is dependant on the environment and its preservation is thus the need of the hour. Indiscriminate use of our valuable natural resources coupled with waste mismanagement has made us realize the importance of salvaging our environment. If we begin to work towards this goal by small measures now, we could reach a long way in safeguarding our environment. The first and foremost way to prevent damage to our surroundings is to control pollution. Segregation of waste into biodegradable and non-biodegradable rubbish at homes, minimizing the use of plastics or recycling plastic goods is a small step in this direction. In addition, we must utilize cleaner yet renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind or geothermal energy rather than depend on fossil fuels that lead to pollution. We must also prevent the use of sprays containing chlorofluorocarbons, which have been a major cause of ozone layer depletion. Another important way to conserve environment is afforestation. Trees are natural recyclers and use the carbon-di-oxide in air, thus maintaining its level in air. Flora and fauna constitute a part of environment. Hence, conservation of animals too, has a role in maintaining the ecological balance. This cone be done by making poaching a severe offence and hence punishable by law, and creating wildlife reserves to preserve endangered species and their habitat. Humans have a symbiotic (give-and-take) relationship with environment and if only, we follow the way of the Rs- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle; we could certainly rejuvenate and revive our environment to its former glory.
