environmental protection
1.the poisoning of the world's land, air, and water is the fastest-spreading
disease of civilization. it probably produces fewer headlines than wars,
earthquakes and floods, but it is potentially one of history's greatest dangers to
human life on earth. if present trends continue for the next several decades, our
planet will become uninhabitable.
2.overpopulation, pollution and energy consumption have created such planetwide problems as massive deforestation, ozone depletion, acid rains and the global
warming that is believed to be caused by the greenhouse effect.
3.the seas are in danger. they are filled with poison: industrial and nuclear
waste, chemical fertilisers and pesticides. the mediterranean is already nearly
dead; the north sea is following. the aral sea is on the brink of extinction. if
nothing is done about it, one day nothing will be able to live in the seas.
4.every ten minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out for ever. if
nothing is done about it, one million species that are alive today will have become
extinct very soon.
5. air pollution is a very serious problem. in cairo just breathing the air is life
threatening - equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. the same holds
true for mexico city and 600 cities of the commonwealth countries.
6.industrial enterprises emit tons of harmful substances. these emissions have
disastrous consequences for our planet. they are the main reason for the
greenhouse effect and acid rains.
7.an even greater environmental threat are nuclear power stations. we all know
how tragic the consequences of the chernobyl disaster are.
8.people are beginning to realise that environmental problems are not somebody
else's. they join and support various international organizations and green parties.

if governments wake up to what is happening - perhaps we'll be able to avoid the
disaster that threatens the natural world and all of us with it.
