GREAT BRITAIN'S STRICT ROAD AND TRANSPORT RULES

RULES OF GRATE BRITAIN'S ROAD AND TRANSPORT                                                           

Grate Britain has been maintaining some strict road and transport rules . Consequently it has the best road safety record in Europe .In 1994 road deaths were the lowest in 70 years when the government first started keeping records . However while keeping records of transport accidents , one needs to keep in mind that

occasional occurrence of major disasters can cause fluctuations in numbers of deaths from year to year . Hence care has to be taken when comparing one year with another.

Buses and coaches must strictly abide by the rules imposed by the government.One of these is that every coach and minibus that carries children under 16 must be fitted with seat belts . As the rules are being strictly followed and the law enforcing agencies are vigilant , buses and coaches have become the safest from of road .

TO BE KIND TO ANIMALS IS TO BE KIND TO MANKIND

SAVE THE ANIMALS OF THE WORLD                                                                                     

 Humans ,animals and plants are all important elements of the natural environment.But humans are cruelly  destroying plants and animals and thereby creating a danger for us all. The destruction of forest and other habitats is causing the extinction various plants and animals everyday. These loses are particularly severe in the areas of tropical forest which cover only 7% of the surface of the globe, but which provide for the living

space for between 50% and 80% of all our wild life. Many wild animals and birds such as pandas ,bears

,tigers . alligators ,whales ,wolves , eagles , falcons kites and buzzards are with the threat of extinction today.Their decline has been accelerated  by the destruction of their feeding and nesting places , by the collection of eggs and above all by the widespread use of chemicals and pesticides which enter their food chains leading to sterility and mass deaths . Hunting of birds and animals is another cause of their extinction .Men kill birds for food and feathers , hunt big cats to make fur coats and slaughter alligators and other reptiles for shoes and bags .In addition whale hunting has also drastically reduced the number of blue whales in Atlantic ocean .

We know that all species are  important for maintaining ecological balance .If  one is lost the whole natural environment changes.In order to protect the environment form being spoilt , We should therefore protect

our wildlife. The good news is that many countries are now taking action to protect their endangered wildlife. George Haycock , author of several books on wildlife ,writes : " Mankind must develop a concern for wild creatures and determination that these wild species will not perish ." We should save the earth's wild creatures to save ourselves.To be kind to animals is to be kind to mankind.

It is then tied to/ with the bottom of the pot with the help of wires.Soil is then spread out/over it to cover the container but about an inch of the root is allowed to stay above on the soil to enhance beauty. The soft branches of the

plant are coiled by /with wires so that they are compelled to grow the way the planter wants them to grow.

DEFORESTATION

ABOUT DEFORESTATION                                                                                                         

Deforestation means cutting down trees in number .The causes of deforestation are many . The worlds population is increasing day by day . The huge number of population needs more shelter ,agricultural land fuel ,furniture etc .For all these reason people cut trees .Moreover there are some dishonest people who cut trees in our forest to make money .The effects of deforestation are too many to describe . This destruction  disturbs our ecological balance .This existence of animals are being threatened .Due to deforestation carbon dioxide is increasing worldwide .As a result the world is becoming warmer.The see level is rising and many

parts of the world is  going to be engulfed by the see in recent future .On the other hand , new areas of the world are turning into desert as a result of deforestation .The removal of trees causes birds and animals living on them to leave the place .It also causes serious damage to the soil ,as trees give protection to soil as well .In the end the soil gets sediment in the river bed and causes frequent floods .So if we destroy trees at random , one day the country will turn into a desert .All living animals and birds will not find any food or shelter to live in .They will be destroyed .There will be no rain and s a result our agriculture will face a great crisis .The temperature will rise and it will cause green house effect .The country will be unsuitable for living and various natural calamities like flood , drought , storm etc will visit our country .Immediate measures should be taken to prevent deforestation . People should be made aware of tree plantation through mass media . Tree plantation programme  should be extended throughout the country ."Plant more trees " campaign must be carried out across the country

."Make your homestead " green programme can also be a effective way in this regard .Every man and women can contribute to this programme by planting at least two trees per head .We all should be aware of this.

SATELLITE TV CHANNELS

SATELLITE TV CHANNELS                                                                                                              

Television channels broadcast by the use of satellite TV channels .There is no unmixed blessing on the earth .Everything has it,s dark side .Despite the dark side of the programmes of satellite TV ,it is beneficial . Some channels causes cultural decay and moral degradation by telecasting obscene and violent movies , music dance and song .Young people most often watch the exiting films on violence and crime .They also see the

obscene films All these things leave a damaging effect on their soft mind .If once bad things lay root deeply in their soft mind , it will remain in their mind . We can enrich and foster our national culture by telecasting programmes  enriched with our own age old traditional social values in stead of frequent telecast of satellite cultural programmes .We should try to imitate what is good in satellite culture and give up what is bad .
