Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new goods are produced and made complex, there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations.

Pollution and waste combine to be problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in out daily lives.三、完形填空The government is to ban payments to witnesses by newspapers seeking to buy up people involved in prominent cases _1_ the trial of Rosemary West.In a significant _2_of legal controls over the press.
