Topic 11: Pollution in the Baltic

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3007228.stm
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The situation:

The Baltic Sea in Russia is seriously polluted, by dumping of waste, metals. This has cause environmental and economic problems. The water is polluted with growth of algae and plankton growth and lack of oxygen. Therefore, also affecting the marine organism. The country is dependent on fishing for the economy, if their water is polluted, the fish will die, or the fish cannot be eaten. They want to build a treatment plant but they lack the funds, to do so. So the dumping continues, and again the problems become worst.
========================================================
Conclusion:

I think it is kind of ironic. They know that their country is dependent on fishing for the economy, then they should know that they have to protect their environment especially the water system. Yet they are giving themselves more problem by polluting the waters. They should not delay the work of the water treatment plant. If they don't settle it, things will become worst. The environment by then been seriously damaged. I think that maybe countries around should try and help them, as we all share the environment. We should protect the environment, every country should try and help one another.


" Oh My God, quickly go and save the water from pollution!"," I want it to be become as clean as the water behind me!"
" I forgot to introduce myself, i am mr Lala, the minister of water environment.Want my signature?"

Sorry, but this mr Lala is a crazy koala bear who suffer some mental problem due to pollution. He just escaped from the Mental health of animal hospital. Ignore him .(-_-")
