Acid rain makes the Earth more acidic and some kinds of trees can’t live in the sol that is very acidic. Forests are disappearing and this upsets the oxygen balance.

A Breath of fresh air.

The British government has decided to take the unpopular decision to ban smoking in a lot of public places. Though a lot of people find smoking displeasing, and though experts all agree it is unhealthy and that it costs the state a lot to treat victims of smoking, it is also undeniable that many people get pleasure from the habit and find smoking irresistible when are in company.

Smokers who are unable to stop smoking may feel the new measures are unjust, but for the passive smokers for

whom a room full of smoke is unbearable they will come as a breath of fresh air.
