Recycling is a technology that helps protect the environment and
cut down on usage of raw materials. The steel, paper and glass industries
recycle a lot. The largest recycler is the steel industry. It recovers more
than 70 per cent of its original materials. For example, since 1988 they have
produced the majority of new metal cans from old ones. Metal parts for cars
and planes are other examples of recycling steel. Fragments of waste glass
are widely used in construction. For producing writing paper and pens, used
packing boxes are an ideal material. They are cheap and easy to recycle.
Nowadays more and more recycling centres are appearing in our towns and
cities.

Global warming is a result of human activity. In 1985 there was a
big conference in Austria where 89 climate researchers from different countries
took part. After long discussions the scientists declared that the climate of
the planet had changed. Indeed, it is warmer now than it was years ago. It
can be clearly seen in the north. In the Arctic some places are ice-free now
and polar bears have lost the place where they lived. The sea level has risen
as well. The situation is getting more and more serious. Global warming is a
great problem which needs to be solved in the near future.

We don’t realize how lucky we are to have clean water whenever we
want. A lot of people around the world do not have such an opportunity. Did you
know that more than 750 million people on the Earth do not have clean water to
drink? Meanwhile, a lot of water is wasted and polluted. In 1993 the United
Nations decided to celebrate the World Day for Water. Nowadays a lot of special
events are organized in different countries. Their aim is to make people
understand how important clean water is for their health, environment and
agriculture. Water is essential for our life. We should think about saving it,
as the fresh water supplies are limited. We need to keep it clean for ourselves
and for future generations.

Human activity creates waste. The problem isn’t new and space is
no exception to the rule. Dead satellites, rocket stages and other things are
littering our planet’s orbit. They are getting dangerously close to space
stations and there is a great possibility of an accident. Space stations could
be completely destroyed by the rubbish. In 1983, a tiny piece of paint from a
satellite made a big hole in the side window of a spaceship. There is a great
need to “clean up” space and to take away 3,000 tons of space rubbish. To solve
the problem, scientists and engineers are designing special spaceships that
will collect and recycle space rubbish.
