Garbage Crisis

The only real solution to the garbage crisis is for Americans to reduce the amount of trash they

throw away. There are two methods of doing this. One is recycling—reusing garbage. Bottles

can be washed and reused. Aluminum cans can be melted down and remade. Currently in the

U.S., only 11 percent of solid waste is used again as something else. . . .

We must also reduce the amount of garbage we produce in the first place. We should use

less plastic, which is hard to recycle and does not in landfills. Much garbage is useless

packaging. Consumers should buy foods and goods that use less packaging. We also should

buy reusable products rather than things that are used once and thrown away. . . .

A woman in California was asked about garbage. She replied, “Why do we need to

change anything? I put my garbage out on the sidewalk and they take it away.” Attitudes like

hers must be changed. We have to face the inevitable question posed by Ed Repa, manager of

the solid waste program at the National Solid Waste Management Association: “How do you

throw something away when there is no ‘away’?”

T F

22) The antonym of convenience is inconvenience. T F

America is a “throwaway” society. Each year Americans throw away 16 billion disposable diapers, 1.6 billion pens, and 220 million tires. For the sake of convenience, we tend to throw these and other used goods away rather than repair or recycle them. The average American household generates 350 bags, or 4,550 gallons, of garbage per year. This comes out to a total of 160 million tons of garbage a year. We have to change our throwaway lifestyle before we are buried in it. We are running out of places to put all the garbage we produce. About 80 percent of it is now buried in landfills. There are 6,000 landfills currently operating, but many of them are becoming full. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that one-half of the remaining landfills will run out of space and close within the next five to ten years

In addition, many landfills contain toxic chemicals that can leak into and pollute underground water supplies. In New York City, over seventy-five wells had to be closed because of such toxic waste poisoning. One suggested alternative to landfills is to burn the trash. In some states, large incinerators are used to burn garbage, and the heat that is generated is used to produce electricity. But this has drawbacks. Burning trash pollutes the air with dioxin and mercury, which are highly poisonous. Furthermore, burning does not completely solve the landfill problem. Leftover ash produced by burning is often highly toxic, and it still has to be buried somewhere.

Comprehension Passage

We are running out of places to put all the garbage we produce. About 80 percent of it is

now buried in landfills. There are 6,000 landfills currently operating, but many of them

are becoming full. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that one-half of the

remaining landfills will run out of space and close within the next five to ten years. Can

we simply build new landfills to replace the old ones? The answer is no. For one thing,

we are running out of space. We cannot afford to use up land that is needed for farms,

parks, and homes. In addition, many landfills contain toxic chemicals that can leak into

and pollute underground water supplies. In New York City, over seventy-five wells had

to be closed because of such toxic waste poisoning.

THE TROUBLE MAKER Writing Practice – Finish the Story Directions: Read the story below. Then finish it with your own writing. Allison had a bad night on Saturday. She went to the Smith’s house to babysit their son, Jake, and daughter, Lisa. Jake is four years old. He gets into a lot of trouble. He started the night by pouring his glass of milk all over the floor during dinner. “Clean that up,” Allison ordered. “You can’t tell me what to do,” Jake responded. He ran away from the dinner table. “I’m bored. I want to play a game,” Lisa whined. “Jake, if you clean up your mess we can play a game,” Allison said. “Okay,” Jake said. Allison gave him a handful of paper towels and he used them to clean up the milk. “I want to play hide-and-seek,” he said. “Okay, I will be the seeker first,” Allison said. “You two have thirty seconds to hide!” Allison covered her eyes with her hands and counted slowly from one to thirty. “Ready or not, here I come!” she called. Allison walked downstairs and peeked into the kitchen closet. Nobody was inside. She checked under the couches in the living room. She looked in the garage. Allison decided that nobody was hiding downstairs, so she walked upstairs and continued her search. She opened the door to Lisa’s bedroom and found her hiding under the bed. “I found you!” she squealed. “Okay, now help me find Jake,” she told Lisa. Allison and Lisa searched all over the house. They could not find Jake. “It has been twenty minutes and he is nowhere in sight,” Allison thought. “I wonder where he is.”

Now, finish the story with your own words.
