The Green Movement①
Some countries are better than others at② looking after③ the environment. In Europe, Germany and the northern European countries work very hard to improve the environment. People in countries such as Germany put their garbage into④ different bags - paper in one bag, plastic in another bag, etc. The garbage is then taken away⑤ and, if possible⑥,recycled⑦. CFCs (chloroflurocarbons), chemicals which are found in refrigerators and aerosol cans⑧, are not allowed⑨. There are laws that do not allow people to burn too much coal⑩.
In the 1970s⑪, as people learnt more about environmental problems⑫, the "Green" movement began and soon spread⑬ all over⑭ Europe. The "Green" movement tries to get governments to think⑮ seriously about the environment and how to look after it. It collects information about how industry is damaging the environment and gives this information to newspapers.
