paragraph below :
1/ How do
industry and transport cause pollution ?
2/ How can I help
?

4/ How can

5/ What cause

6/ What about air
pollution ?
A. ___ Pollution
is the poisoning of the land, sea and air.
B. ___ Mainly
industry and transport. If you go to any city, you will see too many factories,
too many cars with not enough people in them, and not enough public transport.
C. ___ Factories
and vehicles produce waste which goes into the air and rivers and spreads all
over the land. Poisons in the waste build up over the years and harm trees,
plants, animals, and people.
D. ___ Waste
gases build up in the air, and dissolve into raindrops, forming a weak acid.
This "acid rain" can fall far away from the country which produced
it, killing trees in forests and fish in lakes and rivers.
E. ___ If
companies clean their waste gases before releasing them into the atmosphere,
there'll be much less air pollution and no acid rain. But this can be expensive
and it needs all the world's companies to do it.
F. ___ Cars pollute the atmosphere.
Walk, cycle and use public transport as much as possible. Only use your car when
you really need to, and use unleaded petrol if you can - lead is one of the
most dangerous ingredients in petrol. Join us, and help us to campaign for
cleaner air for everybody.
