Small crimes against the planet

Read the descriptions of such products and match them with the pictures. Fill in the gaps in the texts.

1. This… is called “Sweet Baby”, and if you spray it around, your room will have the odour of perfumed baby nappies. You probably wouldn’t like it, especially if you don’t have or want a baby. Moreover, the label on it states openly that it is harmful to the environment. What is new about it is that this… operates on electricity, which means you will be wasting energy together with filling the air with unwanted perfume. If you have your… on for 15 hours a day, one refill will last for up to 80 days.
2. Go to any chemist’s and you will find a big variety of …: makeup remover…, hand…, tooth…, wood dog…, window… and houseplant leaf…, each containing some special compound that makes them particularly suitable for a certain type of usage. The whole… industry exploits the idea that a separate disposable cloth for every chore exists. I actually find that many of them are exceedingly unnecessary. For example, I wouldn’t choose to buy any houseplant … since I wash my plants with soft soap foam under a nice cool shower! And they like it!
3. So you don’t like to cook? Then this invention is for you! The kit consists of a cardboard sleeve, a plastic tray, a beef burger, a bun, some chips, some tomato sauce and a foil tray to cook everything in. Everything is wrapped separately and put in a box or sachet. But there is more here to throw away than there is to eat, and the use-by date gives you only 24 hours before the whole thing goes in the bin unopened. It seems that… producers think that you have nothing in your kitchen apart from a microwave oven!
4. Using these makes me want to kill someone! You may also be familiar with this terrible product if you have got a cheap electric lawnmower: steel… have been replaced by disposable plastic ones, and they barely are able to last for 15 minutes. They don’t actually cut the grass but shred it, and only one sort is compatible with your make of the mower. Surprisingly, the label is said to be made from 100% recycled paper.
5. Do you think it is possible to be 75% organic? I don’t think so! The label on a package of this fresh… says it is 100% organic and invites us to admire its quality. Moreover, it says that it is alive and hydroponic, which is just another way of saying that it is grown in water. I don’t immediately understand why that means the… has to be put into a thick plastic, individual box and exported from Canada. Some people are ready to pay more for organic food thinking they are doing so partly out of concern for the environment, but this is not exactly the case.
