 In common with many countries,Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog  from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot. Today,London is much cleaner but there is a

new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991， there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result,about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.

Part of the problem is the new⁴ out of town' shopping centers. In the past,people often walked to shops near their home or by bus. Now,many people drive to the new shopping centers. As a result,the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.

Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600 km) can cost about £ 100, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over £l. 00.

Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.

Environmental 36. in Britain

Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles? Some people think it is healthy and clean. Others drink bottled water because it*s easy―you can carry it around with you. In hot countries,like Greece,we often buy bottles of cold water in the summer.

However,making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all,we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source(资源) of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made,we wouldn't need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we recycled all our plastic bottles,we wouldn't need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece,we don't recycle much of the plastic we use. In 2006， Greeks recycled only about 10 % of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas.

So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin,stop and think. If you recycled it,you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isn't a recycling bin near you? Well, there are lots of useful ways that can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money,and if you cut in half,you will have a plant pot. Go green!You can make a difference.

Scientists have helped people understand the dangers the earth is facing. As people live on the earth,we should be fully ready to deal with the dangers. If we do not pay more attention to the problems caused by air pollution? our earth may no longer be a healthy place for plants, animals  and people to live.

Cleaning up the air is a job that all countries must work on. The problems caused by air pollution can be solved,but a lot of work needs to be done. Governments around the world are beginning to work together to lower the levels of dangerous gases in the atmosphere(大气层) .If this can be done well, the ozone layer(臭氧层) can rebuild itself,global warming can be controlled, and acid rain can be reduced.

In 1967, the government of the United States passed the Clean Air Act. More parts were added to the act in 1970，1977 and 1990. As a result of these laws   cars now must reduce the amounts of harmful gases. Power factories must use " clean coal" methods to reduce acid gas they produce.

In 1970, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was set up. The EPA's job is to make sure that the environmental laws are being followed and to find out new dangers and offer solutions. The first Earth Day was also celebrated in 1970.

While it is very important to solve the problem together on a global scale,each person can also do something to protect the earth. Here are some things you can do every day：

①Turn down the heat and air conditioning.

②Use the dishwasher only when they are full of dishes.

③Practice the 3 Rs: recycle,reuse? and reduce.

④Plant trees.

⑤Walk or ride your bike.
