and wind energy must be used and potentially renewable resources such as our air, water, soil and animal and plant life must be cared for. Our air: The 1990 Federal Air Toxics Inventory ranked Passaic County as 6th in the State of New Jersey for toxic emissions. 52% of those toxins were found to e from manageable sources. Of these, 38% were from mobile sources (with cars and trucks making up 29%) and 9% from nonroad vehicles such as lawnmowers and boats. Another 32% were from solvents such as those used in degreasers, pesticides and cleaners. Our water: The earth has a huge amount of water, yet only about 1% is fresh and usable. In 1988, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) found that 71% of our monitored streams and rivers were too polluted from bacteria to allow swimming. They also found that 28% of our coastal waters had to be closed to shellfish harvesting. Our soil: According the NJDEP, as of 1992, only 2% of New Jersey residents participated in hazardous waste collection events, so the chances of toxins from used motor oil, pesticides, cleaners and solvents are being dumped onto the ground and eventually polluting our ground water is very high. 多層閱讀。 Module 6 Save our world Unit 2 Remember three words: reduce, reuse and recycle 課型:讀寫課 【學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)】 waste、 energy、 pollution、 recycle、 reusable、 reduce、 reuse、 repair、 environmental、hopeless、 necessary、 plastic、 sort、 harm、 material 詞組句型 instead of、 do harm to、 make a difference to、 It’s+adj.+to do 、 stop from 能夠使用本單元的新詞匯; ,從生活細節(jié)中采取措施來保護環(huán)境,保護地球,進而培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的憂患意識和主人翁意識。 【學(xué)習(xí)過程】 復(fù)習(xí) Unit 1. 背景知識。 如: Most parents care very much about their children’s future.
