От! Але это не точно:

1. The word "environment" means what is around us. People who live in large industrial centers, cities and towns live in urban environments. For others, the environment is rural. Everyone who lives in

cities or small villages breathe air, drink water, use soil that needs to be clean. But are they really clean?

2. Water in oceans, seas and rivers is polluted in many places. If people drink this water, they may get sick or even die. People use the oceans and seas as large landfills and pour in them industrial and household waste. And so the fish becomes toxic. It’s very dangerous for people to eat such fish. Water birds leave places with toxic water. Many trees on the coast also die.

3. What we eat is not always healthy food, since fruits and vegetables can grow on contaminated soil and become dangerous. The meat that we get from sheep and cows can be bad for our health if these sheep and cows eat grass that grows on polluted lands.

4. People cut down trees, and many birds and animals cannot have houses in their usual places, and they begin to die. If the situation does not change, soon we will live in a completely different world - a world without a number of species that we know now.

5. At present, people feel that it is harder to breathe: in large cities, the air is very polluted. Most of the pollution comes from cars and buses. Old people and young children feel bad and are sick due to polluted air.

спасская башня

спасская башня - самая известная и самая большая среди всех башен кремля. в ней 10 этажей, высота ее – 67,3 метра без звезды и 71 метр с нею. спасская башня была возведена при князе иване iii итальянским архитектором пьетро солари. изначально башня называлась фроловская, так как неподалеку на мясницкой улице, куда вела дорога из кремля, находился храм фрола и лавра, не сохранившейся до наших дней. в 1521 году в память об избавлении москвы от осады войска хана махмет-гирея над фроловскими воротами со стороны красной площади появился образ спаса смоленского. образ считался неземного происхождения, и как он появился, никто точно сказать не может. этот образ поместили в киот, а перед киотом повесили фонарь. за огнем лампады следил служитель храма василия блаженного. во второй половине 17 века на воротах со стороны кремля был установлен образ спаса нерукотворного.   в то время по центральным районам московского государства прошла эпидемия чумы, в которой особенно пострадала москва, но один из городов, хлынов (киров, вятка), эпидемия обошла стороной, и стали возникать слухи, что причиной этого является чудотворный образ спаса нерукотворного, которому молились горожане. узнав об этом, царь алексей михайлович повелел икону в москву. с иконы были сделаны два списка, один из которых был установлен над фроловскими воротами со стороны кремля. царь алексей михайлович особым указом 1658-го года приказал изменить название фроловских ворот на спасские, и у башни появилось новое название – спасская.
