		Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to today's talk about environmental changes. I cannot stress enough how important it is to protect our environment! In the last few years air pollution has risen drastically and as a result of this our bird population has declined dramatically. But not only our air has been polluted - also our beautiful rivers and streams. Due to the high water contamination, the number of fish has plummeted to its lowest point in over 20 years. I hope you will stop directing your sewage into our rivers, and use recycling containers instead. I also appeal to your common sense: when you go to the supermarket, take a cotton bag with you to avoid taking home so many plastic bags. When you dispose of them they fly around and kill a lot of birds.

		Everybody knows that ecology depends on human attitude towards nature and it’s no secret that nowadays the world ecological situation is difficult. The degree of pollution of water, air and soil increases year after year and is considered to be a serious international problem. Automobiles and other new inventions make pollution steadily worse. Fertilizers and pesticides are important for growing crops , but they can ruin soil. Having examined the effect on people’s health of the pollution of the environment, the medics have sounded the alarm. The use of pesticides and mineral fertilizers adversely affecting the quality of our food-stuffs. More and more babies are being born with defects. This is caused not only by alcoholism and drug-taking but the ecological situation as well. Also we have another problem. There are many factories and plants in our area. They send a lot of smoke into area. There is bad because nowadays it’s difficult to breathe. The problem of ecology is important for our city, too. There are some ecological problems in our area. They are: flowers are pulled out, litter is left, the water is polluted, trees are cut down for people’s need, recycling is not considered as the main way of reducing pollution and saving energy. As a result, we have destroyed atmosphere, killed animals and birds, polluted forests, poisoned rivers and lakes, and of course negative influence on people’s health. 

		Water is very important for life on the Earth. Very little water on the Earth is good for drinking. Sometimes people can not swim even in the sea, because the sea and the seaside are not clean. In many places water is not drinkable. Even fish die in such water.Over the last five years we have been constantly speaking about ozone holes, droughts, high level of radiation, about food contaminated with chemicals. Scientists in many countries are very much concerned about drastic changes in weather patterns. The worst droughts, the mildest winter and the most destructive hurricanes have become typical in those parts of the world where they used to be a rare occurence.  Weather patterns have been changing recently due to the global warming- up process and its major reason –the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is created y carbon dioxide emissions, released by industrial facilities and a constantly increasing number of cars. A  change of climate can be  caused by elimination of forests or the expansion of deserts. If we fail to change our economic methods, in 20-25 years, mankind will face very grave problems.

		We must do our best to save the beauty and the cleanness of our nature for future generations and for ourselves.
