I think that this website is quite good. It is because for each selected topic, it has the information for the topic and also has a mini quiz to test for your understanding. In this way, it will make the study more meaning full.

In my opinion, I think that land pollution can be greatly reduced by almost everyone. It is quite easy to be done. For example, the can drink that we drank can be threw to recycle bin instead of those normal bin that we saw. We can try to reuse plastic bag like bring a plastic bag while shopping. This had been a practice in Singapore. On every Wednesday, all the place will not give any plastic bag when you buy things. You have to bring your own plastic bag if you need it.

I think we all have to play a part in reducing pollution. But sadly, many people do not realise that, and do not take pollution and global warming seriously.

Indeed, we all need to play a part in this.

You looked at info from a particular site - it was useful, but do provide more personal insight. Do you think the 'bring your own bag' campaign is working?
