Problems of the planet

We have thousands of years fighting our survival. We are damaging the our environment. Fortunately the planet is just about don’t be die out. May soon our planet is impossible to live in. It’s all our fault.
The rainforests are dying, the seas and river are being contaminated, air Is being polluted and the rare planet and animal species are disappearing. It’s time we woke up these problems and started repairing the damage.
The biggest problem is the water pollution. Water pollution is also caused when people throw trash into the water. Animals can get trapped in the trash and suffocate to death. The trash can cut or disable the animals. In a way, throwing trash into the water is like committing animal murder. Also certain human-made items cause water pollution. These items include soaps, detergents, cleaning sprays, some mouthwashes, and many other things. Also oil spills also create massive water pollution. Big ocean liners ship oil along coastlines and risk crashing into rocks, spreading oil into the water. Oil spills are a lot worse than we think. They cause animals to die, pipes to back up, and require a lot of time and work to clean up. And water pollution doesn't just affect animals; it affects our lives too. Water is something we drink, isn't it? When water is polluted it decreases the percentage of drinkable water and increases the number of water shortages. When there’s less water to use, we use it up faster! Right now you're probably thinking that water pollution can be cleaned…and you're right! Believe it or not, cleaning the water is also harmful to the environment. We use different chemicals to change the temperature of the water and that can be harmful to plants and animals.
Another big problem is the destruction of the rainforests. Traditionally there are three major causes of it: farming, ranching, and logging. Farmers in rainforest countries are often poor and can’t afford to buy land. Instead, these farmers clear rainforest land to grow their crops. Because tropical rainforest soil is so poor in nutrients, farmers cannot reuse the same land year after year. In following years, farmers just clear more land, destroying the forest piece by piece.
Ranching also causes destruction of the rainforests. Ranchers clear large areas of rainforest to become pastures for their cattle. This land does not cost them very much, so they can sell cattle at low prices. Because it is very profitable, ranchers continue to clear rainforest land so they can raise and sell more cattle.
Air pollution is the another issue. Humans probably first experienced harm from air pollution when they built fires in poorly ventilated caves. Since then we have gone on to pollute more of the earth's surface. Until recently, environmental pollution problems have been local and minor because of the Earth's own ability to absorb and purify minor quantities of pollutants. The industrialization of society, the introduction of motorized vehicles, and the explosion of the population, are factors contributing toward the growing air pollution problem. At this time it is urgent that we find methods to clean up the air.
Also rare and beautiful animals killed by poachers. For example: white fox, crocodile, rhino, wolf etc. Also rare animals, including chimpanzees and gorillas, are being hunted into extinction because of record levels of demand for bush meat, according to a new study. Poachers kill them then sell stealthily their beautiful skin, horns and fang. Hence they so much to gain profit. So poachers kill rare animal. Of course these things are dangerous for nature.
if we continue to polluting air, polluting water, cutting down the rainforests, killing the rare animals and cutting down the rainforests, our earth will never be the same again! So we need to do is understand our fault. Fortunately we have the time…! if we can correct our failing, our planet is to be saved.
