According to a recent study, whereas plastic bags were rarely seen at sea in the late eighties and early nineties, they are now being found almost everywhere across the planet, from Spitsbergen in the Arctic to the South Atlantic close to Antarctica. They are among the 12 items of rubbish most often found in coastal clean-ups. Windblown plastic bags are so common in Africa that a small industry has appeared: harvesting bags and using them to make hats and other items, with one group of people collecting 30,000 per month. In some developing countries, they are a major nuisance in blocking the drainage systems of towns and villages.
What matters is what happens to them after use. Enormous numbers end up being buried or burnt, which is an enormous waste of the oil products which have gone into their manufacture. Turtles mistake them for their jellyfish food and choke on them; birds mistake them for fish with similar consequences; dolphins have been found with plastic bags preventing them breathing properly.
The wildlife filmmaker Rebecca Hosking was shocked by the effects of the bags on birds on the Pacific island of Midway. She found that two-fifths of the 500,000 albatross chicks born each year die, the vast majority from swallowing plastic that their parents have mistakenly brought back as food. As a result, she started a movement to turn her home town into the first community in the country to be free off plastic bags. Many local residents and shopkeepers joined in, and the idea of getting rid of them completely soon spread to other towns and villages.
Although some people remain unconvinced, it does seem possible that the entire country could eventually become plastic-bag free. Who could have imagined half-a-century ago that our public places would one day all become cigarette-smoke free? Or that we would all be using lead-free petrol? Who would have thought even a decade ago that about two-thirds of us would by now be actively involved in recycling?
What is needed is a general change in consumer attitudes, towards the habit of using reusable shopping bags. Older people will remember how this used to be entirely normal as every household had a 'shopping bag', a strong bag which was used to carry items bought in the daily trip to the shops. Today, many of us tend to drive to the supermarket once a week and fill up the car with seven days' worth of supplies, for which plastic bags, of course, are fantastically useful. It's a hard habit to break.
However, there has already been a big drop in plastic bag use, partly because the leading supermarkets and other shopkeepers are making a major effort to help us give up the habit, with a whole variety of new ideas. It is clear that habits are starting to change; reusable bags are more visible than they were even two years ago.
Many believe there should be a tax on plastic bags, and the governments of a number of countries are considering the idea. What people have in mind is the example of Ireland, where a tax of €0.22 was introduced on all plastic bags, the first of its kind in the world.
Read the following text and choose the correct answer which best fits each gap.
Tourism is the fastest-growing industry in the world. As well as bringing prosperity to an area, however, it can also destroy the qualities which visitors in the first place. If it is not carefully controlled, tourism can also problems for local people, as is shown by various examples from around the world.
When Phuket in Thailand first became a popular tourist , people there were unable to cope with the increase in rubbish that 2 million visitors a year and a huge incinerator had to be built in the countryside to deal with it. New hotels at Goa in India caused a huge increase in water consumption, many local people to walk considerable distances to get clean water. And Egypt’s desert landscapes are being destroyed by the litter dropped by tourists. Moving sands are difficult to clean, and the white desert to the west of the Nile Valley may be permanently .
It’s encouraging, therefore, to read about the of certain tour companies who are organising environmental holidays in some of the worst hit areas. Regular tours now go to places the Himalayas and Atlas mountains in North Africa with the of combining a bit of sightseeing with the chance to help some of the mess left by previous visitors.
Read the following text and fill each blank with a suitable word.
Twenty years ago, kids in school had never even heard of the internet. Now, I'll bet you can't find a single person in your school who hasn't at least heard of it. In fact, many of us use it on a basis and even have access to it from our homes! The 'net' in the Internet really stands for network. A network is two or more computers connected together so that information can be , or sent from one computer to another.
The internet is a vast resource for all types of information. You may enjoy using it to do research for a school project, your favorite songs or communicating with friends and family. Information is through web pages that companies, organizations and individuals create and post. It's kind of like a giant board that the whole world uses! But since anyone can put anything on the internet, you also have to be careful and use your best and a little common sense.
Just because you read something on a piece of paper someone sticks on a bulletin board doesn't mean it's good information, or even correct, for that matter. So you have to be sure that whoever the information knows what they're talking about, especially if you're doing research!
But what if you're just emailing people? You still have to be very careful. If you've never met the person that you're with online, you could be on ground. You should never give out any personal information to someone you don't know, not even your name! And just like you can't believe the information on every website out there, you can't rely on what you 'meet' on the internet tell you either. Just like you could make up things about yourself to tell someone, someone else could do the same to you!
