2. Read the text below Years ago there wasn't a problem with rubbish because things like plastic and disposable nappies
hadn't been invented. There wasn't so much packaging on items you bought either. But now with
everything so over packaged wrapped and disposable we are suffering the consequences of far
too much waste. The trouble is not everything can be recycled or will rot away. You used to be
able to get a refund on glass bottles when you took them back to the shop. Now they are either
collected from your house by the council or you can take them to a bottle bank.
The fact that paper can be recycled and is easy to dispose is great, but remember paper is made
from trees, which are important to the environment. The rainforests have been slowly
disappearing for a while now. We need them not just because it helps with the climate. They are
important as like all plants they give us oxygen. They are also a home to many animals who rely
on them for their survival.
The best waste is organic, dead leaves; carrot tops, onion skins and so on all rot down and
make fertile soil. This in turn will help the plants and vegetables giving them much needed food.
So if you are able to have a compost heap in your garden you'll be helping the environment and
your garden will love you for it.
Acid rain is another serious problem it is damaging to plants and is caused by pollutants such
as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These come from the burning of coal, oil and gas.
Dropping litter is not just a lazy thing to do it makes work for other people, is bad for the
environment and looks ugly So think before you drop litter either bin it or keep it and then bin it.
When rivers and seas are polluted by waste we are not only stealing their beauty but were
spoiling it for ourselves too. Our health can also suffer. Sadly accidents do occur; oil slicks
sometimes happen and wreck the environment. Animals tend to suffer the most from these
incidents. We should really have in place something that will prevent so much destruction, rather
than just waiting for it to happen, then trying to clean up the damage.
Nuclear waste has been the cause of controversy over the years. Radioactive material leaking
out would be very serious indeed, it can cause real harm. This is why it is the most worrying.
Although we are trying to stop the hole in the ozone layer getting any bigger, nuclear waste is
till a serious problem. The ozone layer protects us from harmful ultra-violet rays. Its hole has
een caused by chlorofluorocarbons (cfc's) a chemical that was found in some products,
efrigerators used to contain them. So do we care enough about the earth we have inherited and
ur passing onto future generations? Or is it now all too late to do anything? Each one of us can
hake a difference and each and every one of us is responsible to the environment. It takes care
fus; we should take care of it.
