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.”

Task 1 Read the story and do the task.
 
Short story Welcome to Planet Earth Museum, a museum where you can learn some interesting facts about the world we live in.
     ‘There are many amazing places on Earth. Who knows, maybe you’ll see them all one day! Where shall we go first, children?’ ‘Forests!’  Forests are home to over half of the world’s animals and plants. Trees clean the air and produce oxygen for us to breathe. We destroy more than 36 football fields of forests every minute and throw away thousands of trees in paper and card every day.
     The oceans are home to millions of marine animals. They absorb the sun’s heat, transfer it to the atmosphere and move it around the world. 
     A lot of the rubbish we produce on land pollutes the oceans. Turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and die when they eat them. 
    At opposite ends of the world, the Arctic and Antarctic are freezing cold lands. It is so cold that the sea is covered in ice. 
    The fuel we use for energy makes the climate warmer. As it gets warmer, the ice melts and the sea rises. The land disappears. 
    Rivers collect rain water and carry it to the oceans. Along the way, plants absorb and clean the water so it is safe for us to drink. 
    Farms and factories pollute the rivers with pesticides and chemicals and every day we each flush about 50 liters of water down the toilet. 
    This is a green world, where people respect nature and live a long and healthy life. Wouldn’t you like to live here?

Задание. Прочитайте и ПИСЬМЕННО переведите текст на русский язык, выполните задания, размещенные до и после текста ПИСЬМЕННО.   Warm up How many people are there in the world? What are the world’s most populated countries? What are the causes of the increasing population growth there? What are the world’s least populated places? In what way do different factors (natural disasters, economic development, etc.) lead to the decrease in the population growth in these regions?             Word file             limited ограниченный             to reduce сокращать             survival выживание, выживаемость             toincrease увеличивать(ся)             todecrease сокращать(ся), уменьшать(ся)             to bringsmthout выявлять, обнаруживать             growth рост               Read the texts and answer the questions IN WRITING FORM.             The growing population Some scientists predict that human population will grow to 9 or 10 billion by 2050. The real problem, however, is not the number of people, but the resources they need to live. As most people are meat eaters, we will need more and more meat. Meat and milk production is not cheap as it is closely connected with the health of soils — the source of food for animals. 95 % of the food we eat comes from soil. It means that human health, in some way, depends on soil health. In the 21st century, we have to look for the ways to save our soils from pollution and degradation. If we do not, then our organisms, just like soils, will get polluted.                                   
Questions:            
1. Farmers use fertilizers to make soil grow more food. How is it influencing our health?   
2. What does the word “polluted” in the last line mean?   How to deal with the growing population  In the 18 th century, people believed in progress and thought that society would be developing in a better way. However, the British scientist Thomas Malthus predicted that population growth would bring out the problem of limited resources. The problem is that people start families and produce babies faster than soils can produce food. The growing population, as Malthus said, would lead to the growing need for food and other resources to support human life.             One possible solution offered by Thomas Malthus was to control the growth of population. According to Malthus, a person should not marry and have babies unless they have enough money to be able to support their family.             However, the world’s overpopulation is not just one problem; it needs more than one solution. Humans need to reduce consumption, reduce and improve the influence of technologies on the environment — to slow or stop the population growth.                         
Questions:            
1. Do you agree with Thomas Malthus’ views on population growth? What solutions do different countries have to reach in order to control the world’s population growth?        
  2. Read the information about Hans Rosling. Why, according to Dr Rosling, “the only way of really getting world population growth to stop is to continue to improve child survival to 90 percent”?​
