ALL HELP.

2a) READ THE TEXT AND DO THE ACTIVITIES BELOW.

On January 28th.1969, off the coast of California, an oil platform drills provoked fissures on the
ocean’s floor and caused oil to spill out. Over the following 11 days, more than 3.3 million
gallons of oil leaked from the cracks and coated 35 miles of beach with sludge.

Thousands of birds and countless fish, dolphins and seals died. The Santa Barbara spill gave
impetus to the incipient environmental movement, leading to the creation of Earth Day in May
1970.

Earth Day was one of the most important examples of public attention to environmental
problems. This growing concern was accompanied by a change in governments’ politics and
international policies as the global nature of environmental problems became clear. Acid rain,
global warming, carbon emissions, oil spills, ozone layer depletion, water and air pollution…
they all transcend national boundaries.

From the 70s onward, developed countries negotiated agreements on reducing water and air
pollution, protecting endangered species, dumping hazardous wastes, banning ozone-based
products, safeguarding natural habitats and world heritage sites.
