The earth is our home. We must take care of it. Life today is easier but there are some new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. Pollution comes in many forms. It is beginning to harm our health and even our life.
Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there weren’t so many people. In other words, the more people, the more pollution. Now man is slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s not good for living things in the world.

People say it’s best to ride bicycles. When you are riding there is no pollution. But even in developed countries, most people don’t go to work by bicycle. It’s not because bicycles are expensive or people are tired if they ride to work. It’s because cars are more convenient(方便的), so more people go to work by car, and then the situation is getting worse and worse. We should make it difficult and expensive for drivers to drive their cars into the city. They will go back to use their bicycles.
