Text A
I am worried about the state of the Bistraya river in my area. My grandmother says it was clean and beautiful in her childhood. But when I visited my granny on holidays I was hurt and disappointed by what I found. A nuclear power plant nearby was pouring its chemicals into so-called river. It looked more like a muddy puddle with a green film on it. The amount of litter astonished me. No animals were drinking from the river. I suppose they would be poisoned if they did.

Text B
I have spent all my life in Bavaria and I can’t bear to see the present state of the country side. It may be destroyed very soon. It is difficult to imagine these mountains without their trees.
I fear we will lose nearly all of them to waldsterben or forest death. This is the name we give to this pollution sickness.
When you first see the forest, you may think there is no problem. But I can show you many trees with yellow leaves. And in some high places, many trees have died. Our foresters have to remove even young trees that have died or become too damaged. Personally I think that acid rain has to be the main cause and the problem is getting worse and worse.
Dietrich, 16
Text C
In the north eastern United states where I live, our environment is put at risk. It is sad to see our streets littered with old lottery tickets, cigarette packages, papers and wrappers of all kinds. Until we learn to recycle or reuse waste and litter more effectively, we will continue to have environmental problems. I think that by the time I am grown up, have my own family, our natural resources and our way of life will be much more seriously threatened. We recycle some bottles, cans and newspapers now, but it is not nearly enough.
