Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that men might he able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source. For a long time people buried garbageordumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. But garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum,ornatural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source. Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricityorto heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the citys garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the sane as would he produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil! But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns easily, such as food scraps and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily This separation process is normally costly. Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air. Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth. 41. What two problems can be solved by burning garbage? a. The shortage of energy; Air pollution. b.

Instead, many people continue to smoke, to drink excessively and to eat unbalanced diets. How can governments help people protect their health and avoid premature death? Well, many of the measures which need to be taken are primarily a matter of new legislation and need not he expensive. One of the first preventive health measures should be an increase in taxes on tobacco to the point at which consumption falls off. The aim should be to raise the same amount of revenue from a decreasing number of people. In the short term such a policy could even raise extra money, which could then be spent on subsidisings sport so that advertising tobacco through sports sponsorship could be banned. Legislation is badly needed to ban all advertising of tobacco products as it persuades people to smoke more and so is in a larger part responsible for the ill health and thousands of premature deaths caused by cancer of the lung. Other measures should he enforced , such as a much tougher health warning on cigarette packets, and tobacco companies should be made to contribute to research into a cure for lung cancer. Alcoholism could he prevented by making wines, spirits and strong beers more expensive and the revenue raised could be used to set up clinics to help the people who already have a drinking problem and want to give up. Similarly all advertising of alcohol should be banned and compensation paid to families of alcoholics who die of the liver disease. 46.
