(7)let the waste run directly into the rivers, which then leads to the sea And finally, oil is washed from the land This can be the result of carelessness or deliberate dumping of waste.
Unit 7: Saving energy
Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn’t cause pollution or waste natural resource? Look no further than solar energy from our sun At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal, gas, oil, or nuclear power This power could be provided by the sun One percent of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for total population
Many countries are already using solar energy Solar panels are placed on the roof of a house and the
Sun’s energy is used to heat water The energy can be stored for number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy too
Sweden has an advanced solar energy program There, all buildings will be heated by solar energy and
cars will use solar power instead of gas by the year 2015
