Ecological problems of my native town

There are a lot of ecological problems all over the world. Many parts of our country are overcrowded. People of many cities suffer from factories, plants and electric stations. Much of dangerous waste goes into the air and carried by winds for great distances. We pollute air with smoke and gases, water - with industrial waste, soil - with chemicals. Now we don’t know the virgin nature. A lot of people suffer from many dangerous diseases.

And my native town isn’t an exception. Bashtanka is one of polluted towns in Ukraine. It has a lot of ecological and social problems, such as water and air pollution, mud and litter in the town streets. What can we do to solve these problems?

To begin with, we must protect the environment and not litter. For example, citizens of Bashtanka have to throw garbage away into litter - bins and get people involved in clean-up programmes. As a result, streets will be cleaner, than they are now.

Air and water pollution is a big problem. Lots of exhaust fumes from cars pollute the air in our town. If we want to change the situation, people should walk more or ride bicycles, and our cheese plant mustn’t waste dangerous harmful substances polluting rivers and air. Only then air and water will be cleaner.

One way to reduce traffic is to improve public transport and encourage people to use it to commute to work and to school. The result would be fewer cars in the town and, consequently, fewer traffic jams.

To sum up, there are many problems and many ways to solve them in Bashtanka. Applying just some of these ideas will result in changing situation for the better in my native town.
