TEXT B
High Marks for Clean Water
Retrieve a discarded water bottle. Tear off the label and fill
it with any water that’s not too murky from a creek, standpipe or a
puddle. Place the bottle on a piece of metal in full sun. In six hours
the UVA radiation will kill viruses, bacteria and parasites in the water,
making it safe to drink.
SODIS, the acronym for this Swiss - pioneered water -
disinfection program, is now being used all over the world to provide
drinking water for some four million people. “It’s simple, it’s free, and
it’s effective,” says Ibelatha Mhelela, principal of the Ndolela Primary
School in Tanzania. In 2006 her school started using SODIS to
disinfect its contaminated tap water, placing bottles on the building’s
corrugated metal roof. The result? Absenteeism due to diarrhea has
dropped considerably, and examination scores soared. “Before we
started SODIS, only ten to fifteen percent of the children passed the
national sixth grade exams,” says Mhelela, “Now ninety to ninety -
five percent of the students pass.”

TEXT A
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

THE ROAD TO COPENHAGEN
Biggest Obstacle to Global Climate Deal May Be How to Pay for It
As world leaders struggle to hash out a new global climate deal by December,
they face a hurdle perhaps more formidable than getting big polluters like the
United States and China to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: how to pay for the
new accord. That money is needed to help fast-developing countries like India
and Brazil convert to costly but cleaner technologies as they industrialize, as well
as to assist the poorest countries in coping with the consequences of climate
change, like droughts and rising seas. This financing is an essential part of any
international climate agreement, negotiators and scientists say, because
developing nations must curb the growth of their emissions if the world is to limit
rising temperatures.
Based on calculations by the International Energy Agency for 2005 to 2030, 75
percent of the growth in energy demand will come from the developing world.
Many developing countries have made it clear that they will not sign a treaty
unless they get money to help them adapt to a warmer planet. Acknowledging that
a new treaty needs unanimity for success, industrialized nations like the United
States and those in Europe have agreed in principle to make such payments; they
have already been written into the agreed-upon structure of the treaty, to be
signed in Copenhagen in December. (…) At a United Nations summit meeting in
New York on climate change and at the Group of 20 meetings in Pittsburgh last
month, national leaders, including President Obama and President Hu Jintao of
China, stressed the urgency of combating climate change. But they offered no new
proposals for financing and put no new cash on the table.
Perhaps even more troublesome, the United Nations Adaptation Fund, which
officially began operating in 2008 to help poor countries finance projects to blunt
the effects of global warming, remains an empty shell, largely because rich nations
have failed to come through with the donations they promised.

The Wind
James Stephens
The wind stood up, and gave a shout:
He whistled on his fingers, and
Kicked the withered leaves about,
And thumped the branches with his hand,
And said he'd kill, and kill, and kill:
And so he will! And so he will!
The words in “The Wind” that give human
qualities to the wind are:
