 Week 2/ Semana 2 ( from August 23rd to August 27th )
Task 2.1 Read the following text and complete the exercises. Lea el siguiente texto y
complete los ejercicios
Years ago, there was not a problem with
rubbish because things like plastic and
disposable nappies had not been invented.
There was not so much packaging on items
you bought either. 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, either they
are 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, onionskins and so on all rot down
and make fertile soil. This in turn will help the
plants and vegetables giving them much
needed food. Therefore, if you are able to
have a compost heap in your garden you will
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 still a serious problem. The ozone
layer protects us from harmful ultra - violet
rays. Its hole has been caused by
chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) a chemical that
was found in some products. Refrigerators
used to contain them. So do we care enough
about the earth we have inherited and our
passing onto future generations? Or is it now
all too late to do anything? Each one of us
can make a difference and each one of us is
responsible to the environment. It takes care
of us; we should take care of it
