4.HowcanChinasolveitsproblemofairandwaterpollution?
(VICTOR)
Todaythequalityofournaturalenvironmenthasbecomeanimportantissue.Airpollutionisoneofthemajorproblemsofthemodernworld.Agreatdealofenergyisneededtorunthefactoriesofmodernindustrialnations.Automobile,trains,planesandbussesneedenergytoo.Nearlyallofthisenergyisproducedbyburningfuels.Theburningproduceswastes,someofwhichremainintheairandwate,causingpollution.Wecansee,moreandmorefishhavediedinrecentyears,andmanyflightsarecancelledordelaydedduethethickfogorsmog.
Inmyopinion,inordertostopenvironmentalpollution:
1)Governmentshaveestablishedlawstoprotecttheair,forestsandsearesources.Plantmoregreeneryandplants,andbuildfull-scale(全面的)afforestation(造林)ofsurroundingareas.
Inordertopreservewaterandsoilandimpovetheecologicalenvironment,peoplearetakingtheopportunityoftheGreatWesternDevelopmentProgramtopushforwardtheprogramsofreturningthecultivatedlandtoforestorpasture(退耕还林),andnaturalforestprotection.
2)Decreaseindustrialwaste,movingpollutantindustrytoout-lyingareas.Controlthenumbersofvehicles,developgas-poweredvehiclesandencouragetheuseofbikesforshortjourneys.
