  5. People should think about the environment and clean their places, don't throw anything to the floor. Recycling, and companies should try to not damage the nature with chemicals, and burning garbage or other materials. People should try to use other materials than plastic. Don't burn garbage. Plant trees, and use paper bags.

    People have to be aware to protect the earth because we are living on it. Everyone have to avoid damage the earth. People have to stop throwing trash on the street. People have to protect the enviroment like plans,trees because if we do not protect them one day we will suffer for their presence.

  11. This artlcle talk about soil degradation. Continued deterioration of the soil is not good for the future of the earth and human. Degradation of the soil interferes with a rich harvest because of the lack of nutrients.
