拯救地球

地球的人口增长很快。人类要使地球能够养活众多的人口，就得迅速发展工农业。由于工农业的迅速发展，即能产生出越来越多的废弃物，这些废弃物流进水里，渗入到土壤中，散发进空气中。其中的有些是无害的。然而，在废弃物太多的`地方，有毒的东西会对周围的物和人有害。

农民为了让庄稼地茂盛，给地里施肥，为了杀死害虫，往地里喷药，这个时候，有毒的气体就会散发到空气中，水里和上壤里。当鸟、鱼以及人们吃这些粮食，饮用这些水，呼吸空气时，就对他们的健康造成危害。

大城市的空气经常被汽车和工厂弄得很糟。成千上万吨的废物和有毒气体随烟散发到空气中，有些地方，根本就不做净化处理，直接让它排到空气中。

可庆幸的是，人们已渐渐对此严重的形势有所认识。有些国家还颁布了法令来阻止工厂向外排放毒气。
