（24-25高二下·云南昆明·阶段练习）Jackson and his family have been living in Rosewood, a small town, for years. His community has long suffered from environmental inequality. Large-scale chemical factories have been continuously established in the area. Consequently, many of his neighbors have developed skin allergies and other health problems due to the polluted air and water.
One day, Jackson learned about a plan to construct a huge pesticide factory just in the suburbs of the town. The project was falsely promoted as a boost to the local economy, but in fact, it would produce large amounts of toxic waste and release harmful fumes into the atmosphere, which would be even more dangerous than the existing pollution sources. Jackson knew he had to do something to protect his community.
He set up a group called “Save Our Town (SOT)” with several like-minded classmates. Their goal was to oppose the construction of the pesticide factory. They held public meetings to inform the residents about the potential hazards (危害) and organized signature-collecting campaigns to show the town’s resistance.
When they found out that the local government was considering providing financial support for the factory, the SOT members met with the local officials. They presented scientific reports and real-life examples of the negative impacts of such factories. After a series of negotiations, the local government decided to withdraw its support.
Without the government’s backing, the investors of the pesticide factory lost confidence. Eventually, the plan was shelved. Jackson doesn’t stop there. He and his group are now working on promoting sustainable development in Rosewood, such as introducing more green energy projects and advocating for better waste-management systems. He believes that everyone should be involved in the fight for a clean and healthy environment.
