water pollutionnot too long ago, there was a man called jacques cousteau. he loved the beautiful colors, and the beautiful fish in the sea. however, when he returned some years later, the colorful coral reefs were dead and grey because the factory near the sea poured waste water into the sea. jacques cousteau decided to tell people how important it was to save the environment under the sea. he started the“ cousteau society ” to help protect life in the sea. now there are over 30000 members all over the world. since water covers most of the earth, cousteau knew that we should keep the sea clean. we should not litter the sea, and should clean up the dirty parts. as water is very important to our environment, he encouraged everyone to take part in protecting our lakes, rivers, sea and ocean.
there are still a few people who are not protecting the water now in the world. for example, some factories pour waste things into the rivers, lakes or into the sea near by. the water there has become very dirty and we can’t use them at all. although there are seventy–five per sent of water in the world, we can only use fresh water, that there is only a little. so we should use little water when we need to use it. for example, i do not use too much water when i am washing my face or having a bath… it is important for us to keep the water clean. you may ask yourself, have i ever poured or thrown dirty things into the water? if your answer is “no”, that means you have already helped to protect the environment. it is our duty to protect the environment. you may ask yourself again, have i ever helped to clean up the water? if your answer is “yes”, that means that you have already done something useful to improve the water. if we use up all the water, it is difficult for us to get it from anywhere, including the universe. it is terrible to think that people are too thirsty to live! i believe, that if everyone helps to protect the water, the water must be protected. you do not want to “kill” your son or your grandson, do you? so now let us to protect the water! please don’t let the last drop of water on the earth is we human’s tear!

there are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. one of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. the polluted water causes diseases and death. what is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.
to protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today. ad:from .
in my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. first, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be s
everely punished. we should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves

one possible solution is to design and develop clean cars and clean fuels. in shanghai, some of the public buses begin to run on natural gas, which does not give off as much carbon dioxide as the petrol. but it may take decades for the new models of clean cars completely replace the traditional ones. another solution is to develop modern public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. if the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not buy private cars. and the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly.
on the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the collective efforts from the government, the public and the environmentalists.
