Have you ever stopped to think about all the problems that we face in the world around us, in our environment? Our planet has been in a state of crisis since 1990.
Do you ever think or worry about any of the world’s environmental problems?
Answer the questionnaire and find out!
a) Since 1990, air pollution has gone sky high. Governments should ban all cars from city centres to reduce air pollution.
b) Changes in the world’s weather are the most dangerous problem in today’s environment.
c) Governments should help to protect animals, birds, plants and insects in their own country.
d) Circuses and zoos are cruel to animals. They should close.
e) Looking after the oceans, sea animals and coral reefs is the most important job in the world’s environment today.
f) Governments should stop building new roads. They should protect the countryside and forests in their countries instead. That would be a breath of fresh air.
g) The world’s governments should all stop testing dangerous weapons ( nuclear bombs, chemical weapons ) completely.

And I want to finish our lesson with a poem about Chuvashia.
Remember, Chuvashia, you are great
Not in the fields of battles past
But in the green fields full of hop and wheat
And forests, gardens, free of dust.
I love you deeply, dear land,
Your hills and rivers, sand on strand,
Your songs and dances, lakes and ponds,
Your beasts and fish, and birds, of course
Your sunrise is a splendid sight
Which gives me always such delight.
