OUR ENVIRONMENT Many nations of the world have set up special government departments to protect the nature resources that are found within. their lands. These resources include streams and forests. Some of these departments, or agencies, have effected a change in the ingredients of detergents, products used for cleans- ing. These new compounds break down naturally into simple forms. This decreases the amount of suds and harmful chemicals in lakes and streams. Many paper and aluminum products are now being recycled so they can be used again. Instead of accumulating as trash to harm the environment, these materials can be processed and manufactured into other products. Some communities in the USA have drives to collect old newspapers. The paper can then be specially prepared for reuse. Almost everything can be used again instead of being thrown away. The people, as well as the government, can help clean up the environment.
