The role of governments in environmental management is difficult but inescapable. Sometimes, the state tries to manage the resources it owns, and does so badly. Often, {{U}} (21) {{/U}}, governments act in an even more harmful way. They actually subsidize the exploitation and {{U}} (22) {{/U}} of natural resources.A、whole {{U}} (23) {{/U}} of policies, from farm-price support to protection for coal-mining, do environmental damage and (often) {{U}} (24) {{/U}} no economic sense. Scrapping them offers a two-fold {{U}} (25) {{/U}}: a cleane r environment and a more efficient economy.

Soil erosion threatens the productivity of land in both rich and poor countries. The United States, {{U}} (37) {{/U}} the most careful measurements have been done, discovered in 1982 that about one-fifth of its farmland was losing topsoil at a rate {{U}} (38) {{/U}} to diminish the soil’s productivity. The country subsequently {{U}} (39) {{/U}} a program to convert 11 per cent of its cropped land to meadow or forest. Topsoil in India andChina is {{U}} (40) {{/U}} much faster than inAmericA、
