2. During the last few years, environmental pollution due to industrial progress and technological achievement has reached not only dangerous levels but in many instances, destructive levels, for the earth’s biosphere. We very often hear on the news that a certain industry has thrown its waste into the sea. We all know the consequences of such irresponsible behaviour. Factory waste ends up in the sea. Even the factory chimneys spread their pollution into the atmosphere which we breath and have difficulties in our breath
