We know that if lots of trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the earth. Yet we　 39　 to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down trees.

　 We realize that if rivers 　 40　 with waste products from factories, fish will die.　 41　 , in most countries wastes are still put into rivers or into the sea.

We know, too, that if the　 42　 of the world keep on rising at the present rate, in a few years there will not be enough food. What can we do to solve these problems? If we eat 　 43　 , there will be more food for everyone．Land that is used to grow crops feeds　 five times more people than land where animals are kept．

　 Our natural resources will　 44　 longer if we learn to recycle them．

　 Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner　 45　 in the future.
