“To Clean Up the Environment”

DMDG reporter: Hello, I’m reporter of ‘Dongkyu’s MDG News’ Do you mind if I ask some questions?

Bob: Sure, why not?

DMDG reporter: What is your name? Where do you work?

Bob: I’m Bob and I work for UN (United Nations).

K.T reporter: You work for the UN? Then do you know some-thing about Millennium Development Goals?

Bob: Yes of course.

DMDG reporter: Then what do you think the most important goal is?

Bob: I think reduce poverty is important but clean up the envi-ronment is important too. I think people made environment worse. DMDG reporter: What do you think it made it worse?

Bob: There are many problems but factories are one of biggest problems.

DMDG reporter: So… stopping all the factories would help.

Bob: It would help but then where would you get things you need?

DMDG reporter: Oh, so if one problem gets solved, then there is another problem each time.

Bob: Exactly.

DMDG reporter: Thank you for sharing ideas about Millennium Development Goals.

Bob: Your welcome!
