 Ecological problems We all worry about the state of environment. The ecological problems must be solved without delay, but this requires much investment of money and human resources. Nowadays, a lot of people lead an unnatural way of life. They lose connection with nature. Those simple things of life like sunshine and fresh air become premium. Tall buildings block out the sun. Traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere. My native city has all similar problems. Moreover, as it is a maritime city, we have another reason for worrying. It's the worsening condition of the water. Every year, the sea is getting more polluted. It contains more and more chemicals and rubbish. Many animals and fish are suffering and dying. People, however, only worry about the condition of the sea when they want to have a swim and nothing is still being done to improve this critical situation. I know that there are a lot of international organizations and movements aimed on protecting nature and our Mother Earth. I hope they will succeed and the environment will become clean and safe one day.
