The environment

The environment is the surroundings in which we live in and share with animals and plants. Living things adapt to their environment and have done over millennia, but the 20th Century saw rapid changes that our environment is struggling to adapt to. Environmental problems include pollution, global warming, climate change, ozone layer depletion, deforestation, loss of biodiversity and overpopulation to name a few. Renewable energy, recycling and emission reduction could help to save our environment.
