Environmental degradation is a major world problem. What causes this problem, and what can we do to prevent it?’

There is no doubt that the environment is in trouble. Factories burn 1_________which produce 2_________ , and this kills trees. At the same time,3__________ gases rise into the air and contribute to 4__________which threatens to melt the polar ice cap. Meanwhile farmers clear huge areas of                      5 _____________ in places such as the Amazon to produce feeding land for cattle to produce wood for building. Rivers and oceans are so heavily 6._____________ by industrial waste that it is no longer safe to go swimming. Cars pump out poisonous 7_____________which we all have to breathe in.8__________ and overfishing are killing off millions of animals, including whales, elephants and other 9________. In fact, all around us, all living things large and small which comprise our finely balanced  10_________ are being
systematically destroyed by human greed and thoughtlessness.
There is a lot we can all do, however, to help prevent this. The easiest thing, of course, is to 11.___________ waste material such as paper and glass so that we can use it again. We should also check that the things we buy from supermarkets are packaged in 12______ packaging which decomposes easily. At the same time, we should make a conscious effort to avoid foods which are 13______________ (at least until someone proves that they are safe both for us and for the environment). If you are truly committed to protecting the environment, of course, you should only buy 14___________ fruit and vegetables, safe in the knowledge that they have been naturally cultivated. Finally, of course,we should buy a small car that uses 15_____________ which is less harmful to the environment or, even better, make more use of public transport.
The serious 16__________ , however, do much more. They are aware of the global issues evolved and will actively involve themselves in 17__________ by making sure our forests are kept safe for future generations. They will oppose activities which are harmful to animals, such as 18________. And they will campaign to keep the 19____________ around our towns and cities free from new building.
We cannot all be as committed as them, but we can at least do our own little bit at grass roots level.We, as humans, have inherited the earth, but that doesn’t mean we can do whatever we like with it.
