    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    Firstly, when it comes to the protection of environment, it is all our responsibility to protect our environment, rather a particular person or a single person. If I have to speak about a person whom I have to describe for protecting the environment, I would say about the social workers, workers who are concerned about the environmental pollution and environmental pollution control and the protection of environment. These are the personalities who serve for our nation, our world in protecting the environment by planting the trees or maintaining the gardens and watering it regularly or maintaining certain group of people who would look after the gardens or proposing certain campaigns where they could explain about the importance of environment and the emphasis of uses of eco-friendly things. Not only planting the things, also explaining them about not to dispose the things wherever like in the uncertain places, but throwing them in the dustbin and maintaining the cleanliness around our home. They may also explain about how to keep the surroundings clean and educate people about the consequences of what would happen if they would not maintain the environment properly or overusing of these resources as they are the very important part of our life and our

    Well, this is an interesting question. There are so many issues I could think of. A natural disaster like earthquake and a cold seems to be in the news almost every year. But there was one story recently about some animals that we are under threat. It was said it wasn't focused on one place in particular. It was looking at various animals that could actually become extinct in different African countries. I think me and my friend, that name is Heath, we have decided to protect our environment by using We are really iconic animals like gorillas, leopards, rhinos and apparently they are now listed as end-grained species. What made it really depressing was that we are in danger thanks to us. In some cases it was due to loss of habitat either because we finally need more agriculture production or even worse I think because of hunting and foraging. I hate to think of future generations being a robot of the chance to see creators like these. Their natural environment is luckily we have a lot of organizations that focus on wildlife conversations. Hopefully with their help we can put pressure on those in power to do something to stop creators like these dying out. So me and my friend using this technique to improve and protect our environment.

Nature lovers make good experiences of providing trees and also they create parks for the good biodiversity and they also make the people and children to protect the earth and making plantation with greenery and beautification of the environment.

    One of the person I admire the most is my friend Rishi. I met her during my bachelors. She is so passionate about environment. What she does is, she does small things that protect nature. She tries to grow her own vegetables on her balcony using natural compost rather than the chemical pesticides. She replaced her plastic bags with her own cotton bags and she also posts quotes on social media to like how to save water and how to use renewable energies. What's most interesting is, she recently started a recycling project in our area. She told people to separate dry and wet waste in their homes. The most admiring thing about her is, she doesn't do big things. She does small changes that has a big impact. She advised all of us to make a small initiative. Together we all can make a big difference. That's the most important thing she has done. She has inspired us to be responsible regarding the environment. She always used to say that, if we are good in terms with nature, then definitely we all will good. She even planted some plants on her birthday as a tradition. One of my friends followed her tradition. During the years, she planted many trees which is definitely inspiration. She fostered others to do the same.

    Well, I come across a person on the social media who is really helping to protect the environment. His name is Mr. Sonu, who is doing a great work to inspire other people and also playing a great part in protecting our environment. He has just taken the responsibility of cleaning beaches in the state Goa of India. He has been showing his way of cleaning different beaches where the tourists more oftenly harm the environment by throwing different type of polythene cans and other things. He and his team has been playing a great role of showing the process of cleaning the beaches like they use wide varieties of tools and other bags to collect the rubbish and transport them and reuse them in an environment friendly way. They are inspiring people by making some type of videos so others might also get a habit of keeping their environment clean and whenever they get any chance of using any type of beach so they do not create any type of rubbish there. In my opinion, it's a great job for protecting the environment which is really helpful for the environment.

    I think I'm the person who care about environment because I'm not a social activist or some environmentalist but I'm more like aware and responsible citizen of this country who believes that it's my duty to take care of environment and I take small steps towards the change. I believe that small changes can lead to bigger changes so and also charity begins at home so to change others I have to start with myself. I'd start with really small things that that people would think won't make a effect but it does it does to the universe and people especially my family they get inspired seeing me like this for example I don't litter anywhere in public places or somewhere in nature I keep my I don't spit around I keep my waste material with me until I find some dustbin and I recycle plastics and paper I don't throw them and I follow the three R principle I use I recycle I reuse them and do I also prefer cruelty free products who are less harmful to the environment
