Practice Test 2

I’d like to thank the concerned citizens of Barrie County for coming to today’s environmental committee meeting. Like you, all council members here, including myself, take environmental safety seriously, which is why we have taken the time to arrange this public meeting and have also invited Gus Gieane, from the Ministry of Health, to our meeting to answer any questions or to discuss further any concerns you may have. Gus, the Director of Public Environmental Health and Safety at the Ministry, has brought with him today a list of things people can do to lower the level of risk of public environmental health. In recent times, the Ministry of Health has seen the status of the environment deteriorate, which in turn has had an adverse health affect on the citizens of Barrie County. The item that is on the top of Gus’s list is toxic sprays. More and more people are using toxic sprays to paint their cars and homes. However, after the toxic spray cans are used, they are irresponsibly tossed into the garbage without undergoing separate detoxification measures before they are thrown out. Mr. Gieane will now tell us more in detail about what we can do to help the environment.
