LIVING IN THE MODERN WORLD

Pollution is one of the greatest problems facing mankind . _____________________ the nuclear
accident at Chernobyl and the poisoning of the river Rhine by chemicals are just two recent examples of
disasters affecting the environment. What can be done? Some people say there is no practical solution.
_________________, I believe the problem can be dealt with on three levels : internationally, nationally,
_______________last, but not the least, on a personal level.
Let us begin by looking at the type of international action that can be taken. The
_________________ point I would like to make is that, when a disaster ________________ that at
Chernobyl occurs, it affects millions of people. Radiation does not respect international borders. In my
opinion, there should be strict safety regulations governing the construction of reactors.
_____________________, reactors should be regularly inspected by teams of international experts.
_____________________, if a country wishes to get rid of nuclear waste by dumping it to the sea , it should
only be allowed once the matter has been thoroughly discussed by all the countries that would be affected.
Environmental disasters can be avoided.
__________________, let us look at what can be done on a national level. Governments must be
prepared to take action against pollution. __________________, 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.
___________________, what can we do as individuals? _____________________, I believe we
should all be prepared to make changes to our lifestyles. Personally, I try and use public transport or my
bicycle as much as possible. When I buy petrol, I make sure that it is the lead free
variety.____________________ , we can protest against companies responsible for pollution by making
our opinions known and hitting them in the pocket.
____________________, if the public boycotted products ____________________ aerosols, which
damage the ozone layer, ____________________manufacturers would have to change their packaging
policies. We would show them that we are not prepared to let them get away with destroying the
environment.
______________________, I have tried to show that there are steps that can be taken in the fight against
pollution. It is a problem that can be solved given the right levels of commitment.
______________________,only by acting as individuals _________________, can we expect governments
to act in their turn.
