Exercise 67: True, False, Not Given 
Read the following text about "green taxes" in Britain.
According to a survey, most Britons believe “green” taxes on 4×4s, plastic bags 
and other consumer goods have been imposed to raise cash rather than change 
our behaviour, while two-thirds of Britons think the entire green agenda has 
been hijacked as a ploy to increase taxes. 
The UK is committed to reducing carbon emissions by 60 per cent by 2050, a 
target that most experts believe will be difficult to reach. The results of the poll 
by Opinium, a leading research company, indicate that maintaining popular 
support for green policies may be a difficult act to pull off and attempts in the 
future to curb car use and publicly fund investment in renewable resources will 
prove deeply unpopular. 
The findings were released as the Prince of Wales yesterday called on Britain’s 
business leaders to take “essential action” to make their firms more sustainable. 
Speaking in central London to some of the country’s leading chief executives
Prince Charles said: “What more can I do but urge you, this country’s business 
leaders, to take the essential action now to make your businesses more 
sustainable. I’m exhausted with repeating that there really is no time to lose.”
