Soil pollution
• Exhaust gases, litter, waste, toxic
pollutants, pesticides and fertilizers
can cause soil pollution.
• Consequences:
Due to soil pollution climate has
changed and now we have more natural
disasters, such as drought. All living
organisms face health problems
because of human activity.

Air pollution
• Deforestation, emissions of toxic
fumes and exhaust gases, waste,
burning of fossil fuels, chemicals,
overusing of vehicles cause air
pollution.
• consequences
Ecosystem gets polluted, so animals
and plants are in danger. Due to air
pollution we face (a problem of)
greenhouse effect.

Water pollution
• Acid rain, dumping of industrial waste
cause water pollution.
• consequences:
Ecosystem gets polluted, so animals
and plants are in danger. Due to water
pollution a lot of diseases occur.

Greenhouse effect
• Cutting trees, burning of fossil
fuels and emissions of toxic fumes
cause greenhouse effect.
• consequences:
Greenhouse effect makes the Earth
warmer and Earth’s temperature
rises. It results in global warming
and extreme weather.

Global warming
• It’s the term used to
describe the rising of
average temperature on
Earth. It’s the process
of our planet heating up.
• Greenhouse effect
causes global warming.
• Warmer climate can
affect our planet in
many ways. Sea ice will
melt resulting in rising

Acid rain
• Because of carbon footprint acid rain can
happen.
• consequences:
Acid rain can have negative effects on
people, animals and plants.

Deforestation
• Human activity causes deforestation.
• consequences:
Animals lose their home and then they
can die. Air gets more polluted and we
can’t breathe well. Deforestation makes
greenhouse effect intense.

Endangered animals
• Human activity such as
hunting, fishing, cutting
down trees leads to a
problem of endangered
animals. Pollution and
destruction of habitat
can also have negative
effects on animals.
• consequences:
Some animals can die
because of destruction of
food chain (разрушение
пищевой цепи).

• Углеродный след - это выброс все парниковых газов, которые вызваны человеческой
деятельностью (сжигание топлива, вырубка леса, промышленность, строительство).
• Глобальное потепление это повышение температуры Земли из-за парникового эффекта,
вызванного повышенным (increased) уровнем углекислого газа и других загрязнителей.
• Есть несколько причин глобального потепления, которые негативно влияют на людей,
растения и животных. Они могут быть естественными, например, вулканы, лесные
пожары.
• Использование транспорта приводит к загрязнению воздуха.
• Последствиями повышения температуры на Земле являются изменение климата и
экстремальная погода.
• Такие природные катастрофы, как засуха, наводнение, ураган, наносят сильный вред
экономике страны.

Environmental problems and how we can positively have effects on them
Have you ever any illnesses? Have you ever thought about why we have them? Now I’m going to tell you
about it.
We have a lot of environmental problems. For example, they are air pollution, water pollution, soil
pollution, greenhouse effect and also like that. This can result in bad consequences. Many animals become
extinct, climate has changed, we have more and more pollutants and chemicals, more people have illness.
Why we have this problems? It occurs due to human activity, exhaust gases, litter, waste, toxic pollutants,
emission of greenhouse gases and also like that. What can we do to help us, our Earth and animals? We
shouldn't throw rubbish away on the ground or in rivers. We have to throw our rubbish in special trash bins
and sort it. We should use less water and electricity. We should use more bikes or walking. These things
help you to save environment. I hope you start to take care of nature.
