The environment encompasses all living and non-living things that occur naturally on Earth. It includes the air, water, soil, plants, and animals that make up our ecosystems. In recent decades, human activities have significantly impacted the environment, leading to pollution, deforestation, and climate change. Industrial processes, deforestation, and the burning of fossil fuels have increased the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing global temperatures to rise. This warming has resulted in melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and more frequent extreme weather events. Additionally, pollution has degraded air and water quality, harming wildlife and human health. Protecting the environment requires a global effort to reduce emissions, conserve natural resources, and promote sustainable practices. Individuals can contribute by recycling, conserving energy, and supporting eco-friendly products and policies. Preserving the environment is essential for the well-being of all living beings and the planet's future.
