Ecological problems

We live in Kupiansk. It is a small town.

There are so many cars in the streets of our town.

Air is polluted and I really think that our health is affected. Wastes from plants are very dangerous.

The railways are also one of the sources of pollution. One locomotive pollutes air more than 40 cars.

Many years ago our river Oskil was deeper and wider. Many people swam there and there were a lot of fish there.

But now there is litter everywhere, and water is polluted. River is full of poison, industrial wastes, chemical. There are no fish in it.

People kill animals and birds.

They cut trees down.

Many people burn litter or autumn leaves. It pollutes the air, too.

Empty plastic bottles and cans are everywhere; on the banks of the rivers, under the trees, near the houses and on the roads.

The life of people is in danger too. We are only a part of the environment.

That’s why we should understand the ecological problems and help to protect our native town.
