Welcome back, listeners. For those of you who have just joined us, we're discussing water pollution. Caller 1, you're on the air.
Hello. I know it's only a small gesture but whenever I mow my lawn, I always dispose of my grass clippings carefully because if they wash into a storm drain they can really affect the quality of the water.
Caller 2, you're on the air.
I would do something to help but is there any point? I can't stop water pollution on my own, so why should I bother to do anything? Change only happens if lots of people do the same thing.
Caller 3, you're on the air.
Hello. Every month, my class at school goes on a 'litter drive' at our local lake where we spend the whole afternoon picking up rubbish. The good thing is, not only are we helping to prevent water pollution but we're keeping the lake area nice and pretty!
Caller 4, you're on the air.
I don't wash my car in the street. I go to the car wash at my local petrol station. It costs me a bit more, but I read somewhere that petrol stations have to dispose of their waste water carefully. If you wash your car on the street all the detergent just ends up in a river or stream. Unfortunately, not many people know things like this. I think the government has to do more to educate people.
Caller 5, you're on the air.
Hi. I do my best to stop water pollution so when I see people doing things like pouring hazardous chemicals or detergents down a drain, it drives me crazy! I think anyone who deliberately pollutes our environment should be taken to the nearest police station.
A People are lacking information.
B Although it's not much, I do my bit.
C Preventing water pollution has more than one advantage.
D Water pollution should be a crime.
E People don't care about water pollution.
F One person acting alone won't make a difference.
