owns.

Time is bringing us more people,and more
people will bring us more industry. So many trees will be cut down,and more large cities will be set up.

and harms the environment. So some experts declare that the balance
of nature is being upset, so that the very survival of man is in
danger.

population growth, forbid people to
cut down trees and pour [pɔr]
waste water into rivers and so on.
