Topic 1: Pollution! How to reduce it? The world that we live in now is badly affected by pollution. The rivers and the seas are polluted. The air is polluted. The land is also polluted. Consequently, the things we drink, breathe in and eat are all polluted. This state of affairs do no goog for our health. Nowasday, pollution is virtually destroying the place we live in. If pollution is allowed to go on and on, we will surely destroy ourselves, too. Eliminating pollution completely is impossible. So Its very important for us to keep pollution to a minimum. There are many things that we can do to reduce it. The first thing for everyone is to stop dumping rubbish everywhere they like.Throwing rubbish away is the habit of everyone so we can see piles of rubbish on roadsides e.t.c.. What rubbish do people throw away? Emty cans, bottles, sweet wrappers, plastic bags, left foods and so on. Why dont we gather and send them to factories for recycling instead of throwing them? For example, we could reuse glass, metals and plastics Motor vehicles are a major cause of air pollution. They emit much exhaust fumes. Factories and industrial areas are largely responsible for pollution of the air, water and land. The wastes they discharge into the rivers and land destroy both.What they must do is to find ways to reduce the waste, beside that they have to treat their wastes so that they are less harmful. Whether we can really reduce pollution and save our planet is up to you. Pollute it more, we will perish.
