Step 1

Environment: 

The environment refers to the natural world that surrounds us, including the air, water, land, and the living organisms that inhabit them. It includes everything from the smallest microorganisms to the largest ecosystems, and everything in between. The environment plays a vital role in sustaining life on Earth, providing us with the resources we need to survive, including food, water, and air. However, human activities, such as pollution and deforestation, are causing significant harm to the environment, leading to climate change, loss of biodiversity, and other environmental problems. Protecting and preserving the environment is essential for the long-term health and survival of our planet and all its inhabitants.
