The earth is our home；we must take Care of it．This means keeping the land，air and water

Pollution is a dirty word．To pollute means to make things unfit(不合适的)or unclean to
use．Pollution comes in many ways．We see it，smell it ,taste it and drink it．Pollution is
beginning to threaten(威胁)our health ,or happiness and our life．
Man．has been polluting the earth from the time he first made fire，washed his clothes in the
river and threw his waste on the ground．When land was used up or water became dirty．men
moved to another place．At first the problem was not so serious because there was plenty of
clean air，land and water．There weren’t so many people then and their wants(需求)were
fewer．All the dirty things could be absorbed(吸收)by nature and soon．covered over(恢复)．But
this is no longer true．The increase of population(人口增长)and the development of industry
have changed that．Man is slowly polluting．his environment．
Through the use of poison(农药)，mall has polluted land !killing the animal．By putting
dirty water and chemicals into rivers and lakes we have polluted our drinking water ,killing the
fish．
Our increasing population is part of the．problem．More people more waste．
Where is this all to end ?Are we turning the world into a big rubbish dump，or is there any
hope that we can get rid of(摆脱)the pollution ?Luckily，millions of people have been warned of
the danger of pollution．Large numbers of people are now working hard to bring pollution under
