If we want to keep this planet a healthy place for our grandchildren, it’s time to do everything we can to stop the catastrophe. These problems aren’t going to disappear by themselves. There may not be easy solutions but we simply can’t continue living as if everything was fine. G)Environmental problems are serious and we have to deal with them immediately. Unfortunately, the rainforest is still in danger and can be destroyed completely. They have been discussed in the press for years. People think that rainforests have already had enough attention. However, we are still facing huge losses in the Amazon. Most cities are not ready for the appearance of such cars on their roads.į)Environmental organisations have been discussing ways of saving the rain forests for many years. Many have a maximum speed limit of about 50 miles per hour. Such cars are reliable and have interesting designs. It means that they don’t pollute the atmosphere, cost less and reduce the need for oil. As a result of this, temperatures in different parts of the planet rise.Į)Some cars are designed to work using electric power, without gasoline. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that traps the sun's radiation within the atmosphere so the concentration of CO2 increases. As a result of this billions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) are released into the atmosphere every year. Strong hurricanes are becoming more common and more destructive.ĭ)People burn plenty of coal, oil and natural gas. Disasters such as tornadoes and floods are spreading. Due to heavy rains some rivers overflow, while others dry out. The Arctic sea ice is disappearing glaciers are melting faster every year. Global warming is bringing unpredictable changes. Ten years ago we only spoke about it, now it’s happening before our eyes. They say that the new governmental service has improved the state system of environmental protection in Russia.Ĭ)Climate change is on us. The aims of the new institution are the following: to prevent environmental pollution and to control industrial waste. It’s called the Federal Ecological Service. For example, now Americans recycle almost 35% of their waste, while in the 1990s the percentage was much smaller.ī)In autumn 2004 a new body was created in Russia to protect the country’s natural resources. Reports say that people worldwide are starting to care more about what happens to waste products. Also people prefer to buy things from companies that make their products from recycled materials. Governments support companies that recycle waste. Ī)Recycling is becoming easier and more widespread.
