I thinks the environment is very important because it has benefit for humans, trees and animals . For example, if the earth have more trees and the air is very clean, humans and animals have better living. In the present, transpot's business are entering to Thailand in many ways especially sea route. We should perserve this environment for a better appearance. Not only foreign country but also Thailand that need to preserve them. So we have to protect them from any pollutions.
