A lot of people use public transport. They don’t go by car, because firstly, cars pollute the atmosphere and secondly, because it's very difficult and expensive to park a car in a big city.

They sort their rubbish: there are special containers for paper, tins, food, white glass, brown glass and green glass. After that special factories recycle these materials and people reuse them.

What environmental problems do the animals see?

Never forget to turn off lights and water. Water, heating and electricity are expensive!

The nuclear accident in Chernobyl has seriously aggravated the ecological situation in Belarus. Both clean air and clean water are necessary for our health. If people want to survive, they must solve these problems quickly. Some years ago our government decided to build the Nuclear Power Station not far from Kostroma but all people of our region were against it. So the Nuclear Power Station wasn’t built.

Many territories, water basins, lakes, rivers, seas, oceans and the atmosphere are polluted with all kinds of technological, agricultural, chemical, nuclear and other wastes. The intensive development of sciences, industry and chemistry in the 20th century has made the pollution of our environment a global problem which should be solved by all means.

These problems become very pressing, the subject of many scientific meetings. Let everybody remember: we live only once and not a very long life. We have one earth for all those who love it and who do not. “A society is not defined by what it creates, but by what it refuses to destroy.” (John Sawhill, US environmentalist)

“Nuclear pollution” Many seas are used for dumping nuclear waste. The Pacific Ocean, especially, has suffered from nuclear pollution because the French Government tested nuclear weapons there. Besides nuclear power stations can have accidents and cause nuclear pollution. It can’t be seen, but its effect can be dangerous.

‘Air pollution’ Every year the world’s industry pollutes the atmosphere. The polluted air mixes with the rain and causes holes in the ozone layer.

A lot of lakes, rivers and seas are used as a dump. Many plants and factories throw away their industrial waste into the water. There is not enough oxygen in the water. Fish and reptiles can’t live in poisoned water. They leave their habitats and die. ‘Water pollution’

In the last few years the world has been full of stories of hurricanes, floods, droughts and other disasters caused by the weather. Scientists agree that something very serious is happening to the world weather.

What useful pieces of advice can you give? Leave wild flowers for others to enjoy. People recycle paper, cans and glass. Plant trees to make homes for birds and animals. Be a friend to fish. Don't throw litter into the rivers. Help to keep all water clean. Respect the life and work of the countryside. Never draw or paint on the trees. Feed birds in winter. Don't hunt animals. Put your litter in the bin. Never cut down baby trees. Keep your country tidy!

Get ready to discuss the following questions 1.Could you name the three most urgent ecological dangers to our planet? Give specific arguments. 2.Can the pupils of your school do anything to improve the environmental situation? 3.Speak about the environmental problems of your region.

We can save oceans, seas and rivers

The matter is that carbon dioxide and other toxic gases work like glass in the greenhouse. They let heat get in it but don’t let much heat out. Trees take these gases from the air and produce oxygen. But in the last few years people have cut down a lot of rainforests. This means fewer trees and more carbon dioxide. So the atmosphere has become warmer. Other dangerous gases are in refrigerators and aerosol cans. These gases hold the heat which can’t go back into space.

They now think that in the future the globe may get warmer. Winters have already become warmer because we are producing too many ‘greenhouse gases’. People breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. We also make carbon dioxide when we burn woods or drive cars.

Chemical pollution of atmosphere also causes acid rains. You certainly know that most of the pollution in big cities comes from cars and buses. To make the air clean we need good filters at factories and plants, as well as on cars and buses.

‘Pollution’ There is no denying that pollution in its many forms is one of the most serious environmental problems. From the very start I should say that the word pollution means making water, air and soil dirty and dangerous for people and animals to live in. In my opinion, pollution is the result of the harmful effect of the human activity.
