The environment means our surroundings, the ground and air and water and plant life and insects and everything else that goes into making up the world in which we live. We can protect it in a number of ways. As individuals we should avoid being wasteful of resources, and we should be careful in how we dispose of anything toxic (for example, a fluorescent light tube contains some metallic Mercury, and should not just be thrown out with the regular garbage). As a society, we need better environmental protection legislation. As a species we need greater cooperation between nations on environmental issues. And in the end, all issues are environmental issues since everything we do has some effect on the environment.
