TASK: 
Imagine today it is 19th August 2060, you are in your 70s, your grandchildren need articles for their high-school magazine and they have asked you to produce one in which you take stock about the problem of pollution as it was when you were in your 20s, as it was addressed over the years and as it is now. Write you article.

KEEP IT UP
19/08/2010

NOWADAYS, our main concern regarding pollution revolves around how to solve the problem of litter. But this is so only because of the fact that environmental awareness has been rising throughout the years.
At the beginning of the century, the environmental situation was critical. The damage produced to the Earth, which had led to severe air, soil, and water contamination seemed irreversible. Fortunately, during the past sixty years people have become environmentally friendly and legislation has been enacted to regulate pollution. Little by little, both the purchase and the production of hazardous products has been replaced by that of recyclable, biodegradable and organic ones. At the same time, eco-friendly alternatives to waste disposal have arisen, as well as petrochemical spills and the release of poisonous chemicals by underground leakage have been banned.
Litter is a minor problem now which can be easily tackled, but so as to go on protecting our wolrd, it is most necessary to keep up the good work that has been done throughout the last decades.
