Walking along feeling free 

Feeling the earth here with me,  

And I love her, she loves me,

Ecological Problems of Ukraine 

Our civilisation has gone so far in its development and polluted the environment to such  an extend that it is very difficult it to primordial nature that is why the topic of environmental  protection is very actual facing Ukraine today. 

Ukraine is suffering many ecological problems. Many of them have been caused by  economic activities. There are many consequences of damaging the environment. One of them is  water pollution. The Dnipro and others rivers are in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial  waste, all kinds of chemical elements and pesticides. Industrial enterprises of large cities waste  harmful substances into river and sea’s waters. The emissions destroy fishing industry and lead  to a damage of wildlife. 

Another problem is air pollution. For example, pumping waste gases from a power station  or metallurgical plants do not get rid of them. The waste gases cause acid rains. The next ecological problem is the problem of the Sea of Azov. The Sea of Azov is the  special case. Because it is such a small sea, it becomes dirty very easily. Many industrial centres  such as Mariupol, Berdyansk pour into the sea all kinds of chemicals. It naturally effects the state  of the sea water and the shore line flora and fauna. 

But the most terrible ecological problem of Ukraine is Chernobyl. The effect of Chernobyl  disaster is dangerous and tragic, because we don’t know up to the end all the consequences of  radioactive contamination. Ukraine, as the member of World Community, is co-operating with  international ecological organisation such as “Greenpeace” for example. It is a famous  environmental organization whose goal is to ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all  its diversity and focuses its campaigning on worldwide issues such as global warming,  deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling, genetic engineering, and anti-nuclear issues.  Greenpeace uses direct action, lobbying and research to achieve its goals. 

As you see our country has many ecological problems and if our generation don’t do our  best to solve these ecological problems we will have a global ecological catastrophe. 4) Post-reading exercises
