THE ENVIRONMENT
Taxing times for Olivier Laine
In August 2006, French farmer Olivier Laine was driving along the road in Normandy when he ‘was slopped (stop) by the police and arrested. He 2(tell) that he 3(stop) because he had used petrol from crops that he grew on his land. Although he 4(allow) to use the fuel on his own land, he didn’t havea license to use it on the road. In these days of global warming and high energy prices, it may be surprising to hear that you 5(can arrest) for doing something environmentally friendly. However, the real reason for the arrest is that,
at the moment, petrol 6(tax) by the government, but the fuel made from plants isn’t Interestingly, in 2005, a law 7(pass) by the EU which stated that environmentally friendly fuels 8(should use) as much as possible. At the same time that Olivier was having his problems, the oil company Total announced that a new fuel 9(develop) which would be made up of a mixture of petroleum-based and plant-based oils. They said that, using this fuel, carbon dioxide 10(reduce) by 20%. 11 Of course, when this fuel 11(sell), it 12(do) legally. The government may decide that this new petrol 13(should not tax) in order to encourage people to use greener fuels, but judging from the reaction in the Olivier Laine case, it seems that the new fuel will become another source of tax revenue.

1.“ Environmental racism is inequitable

distribution of environmental hazards basedon race. The Federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry considerslead poisoning to be the number one environmental health problem for children inthe United States. Some 4 million children many of whom are African American,Latino and Native American- have dangerously high lead levels in their bodies. Thislead is absorbed from contaminated drinking water and soil polluted by industrial effluents and automobile exhaust.”

2.“Every year humans kill about 100 million sharks, skates and rays, about half of

them caught as unwanted “by catch” while fishing for other species. Sharks are

particularly sensitive to overfishing because they grow slowly, mature late and havefew young each generation. As top predators, sharks play a crucial role in the healthof the ocean ecosystems and their extermination could lead to major ecological

changes in the ocean”.

3.“ Every second, on average, four or five children are born somewhere on the earth.I that same second, two other people die. This difference between births anddeaths means a net gain of roughly 2.5 more humans per second in the worldpopulation. This means we are adding 9,000 per hour, 217,000 per day, or about 79

million more people per year.”

4.“ World wide, we lost between 9 million and 12 million ha of forest per year from1990 to 2000. Clear-cutting and burning especially in order to get pasture and

cropland have turned many forests into a dry, barren ground”.

5.“ In February 2002, a huge section of the Larsen B Ice Shelf along The AntarcticPeninsula coast suddenly disintegrated into thousands of icebergs. The total volumeof ice released was the equivalent to 29 trillion bags of party ice. Climatologistswarn that this dramatic collapse could be a signal of global climate change and an omen of catastrophic events to come.”

6.“ How does the air taste, feel, smell, and look in your neighbourhood? Chances are

that wherever you live, the air is contaminated to some degree. Smoke, dust,corrosive gases andtoxic compounds are present nearly everywhere.”

7.“ A 1 percent loss of ozone results in a 2 percent increase in UV rays reaching theearth’s surface and could result in about a million extra human skin cancers peryear worldwide.”

8.“ Sulfur dioxide and sulphuric acid released by industry causes massive destructionof the vegetation. Rains then wash away the exposed soil, leaving a barren

moonscape.”

9.“Pollution from factory pipes has been vastly reduced but erosion from farm fields,

construction sites, airborne mercury, sulphur and other substances are increasingly

contaminating lakes and wetlands.”
