39、 vir onmen tal Polluti onPeople all over the world today are beg inning to hear and lear n more and more about theproblem of polluti on. Polluti on is caused either by man?s release of completely new and ofte nartificial substa nces into the en vir onment, or by releas ing greatly in creased amounts

40、 of a n aturalsubsta nee, such as oil tan kers into the sea.The whole in dustrial process which makes many of the goods and mach ines we n eed and usein our daily lives, is bound to create a nu mber of waste products which upset the en vir onmen tal balanee, or the ecological bala nee as it is also

41、known. Many of these waste products can be preve nted ordisposed of sen sibly, but clearly while more and more new and complex goods are produced therewill be n ew, dan gerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nu clearpower stati ons. Many people, therefore, see pollutio

42、n as only part of a larger and more complexproblem, that is, the whole process of in dustrial product ion and con sumpti on of goods. Others aga insee the problem mainly in conn ecti on with agriculture, where new methods are helpi ng farmers growmore and more on their land to feed our ever-increasi

43、ng populations. However, the land itself isgradually becoming worn out as it is being used, in some cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilizerscannot restore the bala nee.Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could becon trolled if only compa ni es,

44、in dividuals and gover nments would make more efforts. In the homethere is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three or four times inpackages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot bereused. This not only causes a

45、litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass,metals and paper.Advertis ing has helped this process by persuad ing many of us not only to buy thi ngs we n eitherwant nor n eed, but also to throw away much of what we do buy.
