PART ONE
Read this article about pollution then do activities:
Pollution is one of the greatest problems facing humankind. The nuclear accident at
Fukushima_Japan that followed an earthquake and a tsunami; and the poisoning of the Flint
River_USA by chemicals are just two recent examples of disasters affecting the environment. What
can we do? Some people say there is no practical solution. However, I believe the problem can be
dealt with on three levels: internationally, nationally, and last but not least, on a personal level. §1
Let us look at what can be done on a national level. Governments must be prepared to take
action against pollution. For instance, air pollution could be reduced if car manufacturers and
companies were made to fit effective filters on car exhausts and factory chimneys. These measures
would in turn help to reduce the damage caused to lakes and forests by acid rain. §2
Lastly, what can we do as individuals? Firstly, I believe we should all be prepared to make
changes to our lifestyles. Secondly, we can protest against companies responsible for pollution by
making our opinions known and hitting them in the pocket. For example, if the public boycotted
products such as aerosols, which damage the ozone layer, then manufacturers would have to change
their packaging policies. §3
To sum up, I have tried to show that there are steps that can be taken in the fight against
pollution. The problem can be solved if there is commitment. However, only by acting as
individuals first, can we expect governments to act in their turn. §4
