Ways to overcome the ecological crisis in Ukraine:
Develop programme of cardinal recovery of environment and create clean conditions for the present and future generations
Develop and approve the Environmental Policy of Ukraine to address every region
Provide ecological monitoring system at all levels
Use the best foreign practices to create an effective system of environmental safety
Provide prohibition of deforestation

Ten National parks have been established in England and Wales, four — in Scotland.
Water pollution programmes are being worked out in Great Britain nowadays
Responsibility for pollution control is divided between local authorities and central government.
To prevent air pollution we need to look for other ways of supplying energy.
Recycling saves energy and raw materials.
