Environmental Pollution环境污染
In modern times, industrialization is inevitably accompanied by environmental pollution. While enjoying high economic growth, almost every country has to pay for it as well with the ruin of its natural environment. Nowadays, pollution has become a major concern in many advanced countries. With foresight about this problem, these countries have all done an excellent job in pollution control. But in Taiwan, the island striving to become a developed country, the pollution problem is getting worse because of people's indifference toward it and the lack of effective solutions from the government. Strictly speaking, most Taiwan people's concern about environmental pollution seems inadequate. Factories vomit heavy smoke to make air choking, waste water and garbage poured from plants and pig-breeders along rivers turn them into dead water; the litter left by visitors mars every scenic spot. Out of ignorance people don't see the damage their behavior does to nature, as well as to their living environment. Though sometimes not immediately visible, the influence of such damage is so profound that it might even threaten people's lives. However, most people in Taiwan still pay little attention to this imminent pollution crisis. On the other hand, the government does not work hard enough on the pollution problem. It was not until pollution was worsening that the government even became aware of it, not to mention taking proper precautions. Even now, it has not worked out effective measures to control pollution. The government does not carry out plans decisively, and does not execute laws thoroughly. All this delay only leads to a worse condition. For example, even though according to reports in the newspapers exhaust from cars and buses accounts for 95% of the air pollution in Taipei, the government has still not made use of lead-free gasoline mandatory. It allows city run buses, some of the worst offenders. To continue to operate despite their using substandard pollution control devices. Only in the last year has the government begun construction on a limited subway system. In the meantime, pollution continues to worsen. It fact, we cannot afford any more delay now. The later the job is begun, the more the Taiwan people will suffer. Therefore, to prevent the natural environment from being ruined beyond salvage, the people and the government urgently need to cooperate.
