Environment is the air, water and land in or on which people, animals and plants live. It is of vital importance that the state of the natural environment is maintained for the future.

There are many different types of environment within the world (eg. tropical, town and rainforest). It is a global concern that many and large parts of the environment are suffering from misuse and overuse. Threats to the environment come in the form of acid rain, and damage to the ozone layer due to pollution, but also soil erosion due o forest clearing for agriculture or building. Because of the many threats to the environment we must take action to prevent further damage to it.
