1.The rate of the deforestation in the world is alarming. Every day a hectare of the world's forests is being destroyed forever. Why is this happening? There are two reasons - land and wood. In many countries the trees have been cut down because the land was needed for crops. In other part of the world they cut down trees because their wood is wanted. This wood is used by the local people for firewood. Or it is exported to Japan, Europe and North America. There they used for buildings or for making furniture.

Unfortunately, in most places the trees won't be replaced. The soil in the forests is very thin, but it is protected by the trees. When trees are cut down, the soil is washed away by the rain or blown away by the wind. Soon nothing can be grown on it. The forest becomes a desert. Then people will need more land and they will cut down more trees. When we destroy the forest, we lose not only the trees but the homes of millions of animals and plants together with them. At the moment there are between five and ten million species of animals and plants on the Earth. One million of these is extinct. All kinds of species are in danger - fish, reptiles, birds, insects - as well as thousands of plants. Who is guilty of this disaster? The answer is simple: all of us. There are just too many people in the world. The world's population is now over one billion people. Of course, it's very easy to blame the local people. We don't chop down trees. They do. But the products are bought by people like you and me.

THE TRAGEDY IN CHORBOBYL

Mankind will remember the 26th of April 1986 forever. The tragedy in Chernobyl showed how great and how: dangerous the power of atom could be. On the 26th of April 1986 there was the blast at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station. And a lot of radioactive substances got into the atmosphere.
