Introduction
What did you notice in our envoronment nowadays? Nowadays environmental problems are too big to be managed by individual persons or individual countries. In other words, it is an international problem.
Environmental issues can be seen by long term ecological effects, some of which can demolish whole environments. An environment is a unique unit and incorporates all the living and non-living components that live inside it. Plants and creatures are evident parts of the environment, but it also includes the things on which they depend on, for example, streams, lakes, and soils.
Environmental surroundings get to be divided when technological advancement splits up areas of land. Some examples of this can include streets which may slice through woods or even trails which wind through prairies. While it may not sound all terrible on the surface, there are bad results. The biggest of these results are felt by particular animal and plant groups, the vast majority of which are specific for their bio-region or need a large area in order to make sure that their genetic lines are kept intact.
Task
The things that you need to know:
- how nature works.
- how the environment effects us.
- how we effect the environment.
- know the major environmental problems.
Process
In order to achieve your goals on this study, this will be the process.
Economic growth provides people with more goods and services. Measured in gross domestic product (GDP) and purchasing power parity (PPP). Economic development uses economic growth to improve living standards. The world’s countries economic status (developed vs. developing) are based on their degree of industrialization and GDP-PPP.
Environmental problems have dramatically increased over the last few years. Rapid increase in population and other problems such as pollution, deforestation, global warming etc. have further exacerbate the situation. Some people argue that these problems are too large to be addressed by individual being. I believe that it is a mutual responsibility of both individuals and countries to take pragmatic measures for its solution.
Since the earliest times, humans have needed to be sensitive to their surroundings to survive, which means that we have aninnate awareness of our environment and seek out environments with certain qualities.

Conclusion
Environmental pollution is causing a lot of distress not only to humans but also animals, driving many animal species to endangerment and even extinction.

The transboundary nature of environmental pollution makes it even more difficult to manage – you cannot build stone walls along the borders of your country or put customs cabins at every point of entry to regulate its flows into your country.
Everything on our planet is interconnected, and while the nature supplies us with valuable environmental services without which we cannot exist, we all depend on each other’s actions and the way we treat natural resources.
It’s widely recognised that we are hugely overspending our current budget of natural resources – at the existing rates of its exploitation, there is no way for the environment to recover in good time and continue “performing” well in the future.
Perhaps we should adopt a holistic view of nature – it is not an entity that exists separately from us; the nature is us, we are an inalienable part of it, and we should care for it in the most appropriate manner. Only then can we possibly solve the problem of environmental pollution.
