The environment is all what surrounds living things such as humans, animals, plants, etc.

God created it and made it easy for human beings to build it and use its resources for their own good, so they would live on it happy, and comfortable.

It is so weird that we find the majority of us willing to build a house (which is his little environment) which is clean , beautiful, and healthy so he can live in it with his family in peace, safety and comfort, but on the other side they give no care for what is outside their houses, as if they are living only in these small houses, and they have no relationship with what is outside it, and such kind of people have no idea about the fact that we just mentioned which is that their houses or their small environment that they live in does not split from the big environment that surrounds them , and that if anything happened to this big environment it definitely will affect their small environments.

It is clear from what we have just said that to continue living on this earth, protecting our environment is required. Protecting it is something we are supposed to do , and it is also everybody's duty, and doing this starts from knowing and feeling all the problems that threaten the environment, then finding out how to solve those problems, and last but not least , truly participating in solving those problems.
