F. Reading Proper

The Problem of Garbage Disposal

Improper disposal of garbage can cause
contamination of water sources. Relocating garbage
dumps doesn’t necessarily solve this incredibly unhealth
problem. Laws preceding the discovery of this problem
were predictably relaxed in terms of garbage disposal.
Since discovery, authorities have proceeded to toughen
these laws and have injected funds into reevaluating
ongoing practices. Interjection of environmental
organizations has helped convince an incredulous public
of the depth of the problem and the need to recycle.
Some garbage dumps have receded in size, but most
have increased as the unbelievable amount of garbage.

G. Comprehension Checkup

1. What is the title of the story?

2. What is the possible effect of improper garbage

disposal?
3. How did the authorities solve this problem?

4. Can you cite ways on how to dispose your garbage

properly?
