Text A
The environment is everything that surrounds us: plants, animals, buildings, country, air, water — literally everything that might affect us. The environment of a town, with its buildings and traffic and its noi and smells, where everyone is on top of everyone el, is
a far cry from that of the countryside, with its fields and crops, its wild and domestic animals and its feeling of spaciousness. And the environment differs in different parts of the world.
Ecology is the science of how living creatures and plants exist together and depend on each other and on the local environment. Where an environment is undisturbed, the ecology of an area is in balance, but if a creature is exterminated or an unfriendly species introduced, then the ecology of the district will be upt — in other words, the balance of nature will be disturbed.
Man, as a part of the environment, has done more to upt the ecology during his short span on earth than any other living creature with his ignorance, greed, thoughtless foolishness and wastefulness.
He had poisoned the atmosphere and polluted both land and water. He has squandered the earth’s natural resources with no thought for the future, and has thought out the most savage ways of killing his fellow men — and every other sort of life.
Since man has done so much damage, it is up to man to put matters right — if it is not already too late. If there is to be any remedy for our ills, that remedy ultimately lies in the hands of the young, and the sooner they start doing something about it, the better.

One of the main caus of the earth’s troubles is the world’s overpopulation and its growing at an ever-increasing rate. Meanwhile we are using up our natural resources — fuels and mineral ores — at an ever-increasing rate with no hope of replacing them.
For many years the earth has been unable to provide enough food for the rapidly expanding populations and the position is steadily worning since the fertility of some of our richest soils has been lost and vast areas once fertile have turned into barren derts. And the trouble with derts is that they tend to creep outwards on to the fertile soils. What is now the northern Sahara Dert was the cradle of the civilized world 2,500 years ago.
Even at this moment many of the earth’s natural treasures are being destroyed, many valuable animals and plants are being killed off, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to
grow enough food to prerve much of the earth’s population from starvation. The situation is getting out of hand. Time is running out. But with your help, we may be able to rever the trends threatening our very existence. Who cares?

Why would Bill Gates choo to challenge the federal government and twenty attorneys-general over the Web browrs? Picking a fight with powerful government regulators can only be justified for one of two reasons: a legitimate fear that Microsoft will be drastically reduced in value if the regulators get their way — or a reasonable prospect that Microsoft will dramatically increa in value if it gets its way.
