PEOPLE START POLLUTION. - PEOPLE CAN STOP IT. The pollution of the land, air and water is the problem of civilization. It is one of the greatest dangers on the Earth. Ecological problems are deforestation, ozone holes, acid rains and the global warming. The seas are in danger. They are filled with industrial wastes and pesticides. Every 10 minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out for ever. Air pollution is a very serious problem. In Cairo breathing the air is equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. Plants and factories make the greenhouse effect. The greater problem is nuclear power stations. We all know Chernobyl tragedy. People are beginning to realize the environmental problems. They join international organizations and green parties. All states ought to save the Earth from an ecological catastrophe.

What are ecological problems? Are the seas in danger? What is the problem of civilization? What happens every 10 minutes? Air pollution is a very serious problem, isn’t it? What makes the greenhouse effect? What is the greater problem? Do you think all states ought to save the Earth?

The Baltic, a sea of waste. Ecological problems of our region. The Baltic is a special case. It is a small sea and it becomes dirty very easily. There are hundreds of factories on the rivers which run into the Baltic. Millions of people live along them. Seven industrial countries surround the Baltic. All this affects the state of the sea water, flora and fauna. Pollution is a serious problem. It affects everyone every day. Where does pollution come from? Is it only factories, big ships and cars that pollute? No. It is you and me as well. If you drop litter, you pollute. That’s how it begins. Most big cities pour their waste into seas and rivers. For a long time people did not realize the danger. The first alarm came from Japan. Sixty people died because they had eaten polluted fish. Fortunately all the countries in the Baltic area have realized the problem. They came to the agreement. The aim of it is to prevent oil pollution of the sea, to organize fishing and the preservation of sea life. The Far North has grown several times. It was due to the rapid development of northern territories. Thousands of kilometers of roads and railways have been built. Thousands of wells have been drilled. A large oil and gas complex was constructed. It is harmful for the environment. Thousands of trees are cut out. Millions of tons of oil have got into the ground and water. Flares put wastes into the air. The land, grass and trees around the flare resemble a foot of a volcano. The damage to the flora and fauna is great. What must be done? People must minimize the damage to the Nature. They must improve technical equipment, the technology of oil and gas. People must be responsible for their deeds. We must do our best to save the original nature of our region.
