Environment Flashcards
Do you think pollution is a big problem nowadays?
Yes, definitely. Air and water pollution are huge issues in the modern world…
The air pollution problem is especially grave due to the increasing amount of exhaust fumes, which are produced by cars, and result into a poor air quality.
What do you do to prevent our environment from pollution?
A lot of things… First of all, I don’t litter. Also, my family and me try to buy only environmentally friendly goods whenever we can…
And finally, I try to save trees… I print on both sides of every sheet of paper I use and use any left over white space to scribble notes.
Describe an environmental problem or event. You should say:
What is it
Where is it happening
What problems does it cause
I would like to talk about global warming. In my opinion, it is a big, if not the biggest, problem that we are facing nowadays. The main reason of global warming is the greenhouse effect … Nowadays people are producing excessive amounts of greenhouse gases, mostly by burning fossil fuels.
These gases let sunlight in, which warms the Earth, and then block that heat from leaving… That breaks the delicate natural balance and causes our planet to warm… As global warming changes the climate on the whole planet, it affects all countries in the world and causes many serious problems…
For example, global warming causes melting of glaciers, which in turn raises the sea-level… Eventually, coastal areas are flooding and agriculture is damaged unless appropriate measures are taken… As it is a worldwide problem, I think that only joint efforts will help us to overcome this issue.
