1 Every day we hear about environmental problems: Acid rain Pollution Climate change The destruction of rainforests and other wild habitats

2 The environment is all the things we need to be able to live - clean water to drink, air to breathe and healthy food to eat. We cant live without plants and animals. They help to make the soil, they clean the water and air, and they give us all our food.
