Q.1)
Read the passage carefully and answer the questions-
Vour beautiful suns right ecosystem is being systematically damaged by
industrial pollution channelled into rivers like the Ganga and Yamuna, nuclear
wastes from planets routed into the world's oceans and poisonous gases such as
Carbon dioxide mixed with the ozonosphere) Besides tropical rain forests and green
postures are disappearing under the pressure of a proliferating population. Dams are
being built over the rivers like the Narmada to change nature's well-balanced surface
equations between flora and fauna, and sloping mountainous terrain is being
converted into mini oceans to supply electricity to the ever starving industrial
stomach of our age. Elephants, Tigers, the wild Rhinos of South Africa and many
other forest creatures have become endangered species.
Consumerism has created a garbage glut in the world. Consumers in industrialised
countries throw out staggering amounts of refuse like cartons, buits of cigarettes,
polythene bags and plastics containers which mix with the water of rivers and
oceans and fertile crop yielding soil of the earth. It is estimated that each consumer
throws out nearly 1.5 kilogram of refuse each day, and most of it pollutes the water
he drinks and the air he breathes. Americans alone toss out 160 millions tonnes each
year, which is enough to cover a thousand acres of land with mountains of garbage.
Questions:
1) How is our beautiful ecosystem damaged?
2) What happens to nuclear waste from atomic plants?
3) Why are rain forest and green pastures disappearing?
4)
What has consumerism created?
