Education is one way to help the environment. You can learn about the environment in school. Radio and TV can give you information. Newspapers, magazines, and books can also help you learn.

Laws can also help the environment. There are laws against littering and against making the air and water dirty. Other laws help people to save resources. The law lowering the speed of cars helps to save fuel. But people don’t have to wait for laws to be passed. They can do things on their own. They can protest against products that hurt the environment.

Another way to help the environment is to find new resources. In the future, people may heat their homes with atomic power. Maybe they will make full use of the energy from the sun.

Without planning, some kinds of environment may not exist. People can act now to help make the future.
