Environment is nothing but what surrounds you. It includes living thinks and non-living things in our surrondings. Environment plays a important role in both birth to a new life, growth of the life and survial of the life. It also incompesses the air we breadth, the water we drink and the ecosystem that support countless speicies. Natural areas help clean our air, purify our water, produce food and medicines, reduce chemical and noise pollution, slow floodwaters, and cool our streets. We are protecting the environment because it gives us clean air, water, food, materials and space for recreation. One way to protect the environment is by recycling – a way to reduce the carbon footprint and conserve natural resources.
