Exercises 6

Read the passage below and answer the questions.

Now we know the major issues which are causing damage to the environment. So, now we
can discuss the ways by which we can save our environment. For doing so we have to take

some measures that will help us in fighting environmental issues.

Moreover, these issues will not only save the environment but also save the life and
ecosystem of the planet. Some of the ways of minimizing environmental threat are discussed

below:

Reforestation – It will not only help in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem but also
help in restoring the natural cycles that work with it. Also, it will help in recharge of

groundwater, maintaining the monsoon cycle, decreasing the number of carbons from the air,
and many more.

The 3 R’s principle – For contributing to the environment one should have to use the 3 R’s

principle that is Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Moreover, it helps the environment in a lot of
ways.

To conclude, we can say that humans are a major source of environmental issues. Likewise,

our activities are the major reason that the level of harmful gases and pollutants have
increased in the environment. But now the humans have taken this problem seriously and

now working to eradicate it. Above all, if all humans contribute equally to the environment

then this issue can be fight backed. The natural balance can once again be restored.
