1.Metro is Denmark's most dangerous workplace

In this year, the Copenhagen Metro Team has received the most enforcement notices from the working environment service. Especially, 53 of the notices are serious and must be solved right away. Among them are hearing-impairing noise, a lack of instruction, cancer-causing and so on. Therefore Labour union 3F is worried that there are many risk of getting hurt and there has been a wide range of accidents on the Metro. However, the Copenhagen Metro Team claimed the number of accidents is low compared to the scale of the construction. And they argue that they try to improve their work environment.


In my opinion, although ratio of the number of accidents per scale of the construction  is low, construction site need absolutely safety. Safety in the construction site is very important. Small mistake can make big risk and accidents in the construction site and it is directly connected with life. I think that the company of the Metro's construction is responsible for the bad working environment. Therefore though Copenhagen Metro Team claimed they try to improve their work environment, more regulation is needed.

2. Denmark's nature among EU's most polluted.


'Effects of air pollution on European ecosystems' which is a new EU report said Denmark's nature is one of the most tainted in Europe and it will remain that way for years. According to the report, Denmark is under pressure of threaten biodiversity. Because of a lot of the nitrates fall, report predicts that Denmark reached its eutrophication limit in 2010 and it will exceed the limit by 2030. However, they also researched that acid rain has reduced. Then nowadays, only five percent of Denmark is affected by acid rain.

I am much interested in environmental issues, so these facts make me said. I think that human has destroyed the nature for their convenience and greed until now. Even though our life is more convenient and comfortable than old days, many problems are occurred.  The industrial revolution took place in Europe, the environment was a lot of destruction. Since that time, acid rain is affecting the ecosystem. Acid rain is cause of eutrophication, which kills biodiversity by growing certain plants excessively. Reducing biodiversity is the enormous loss of resources and makes base of the survival of the human weaken. So sometimes excessive development make people can live well. However, research of the effects of acid rain on its reduced Denmark is a relief. Anyway, we must cherish and conserve the nature to live in the nice and clear environment.

3. Denmark may enact French burqu ban.


Denmark will enact the burqu law which is similar to France's burqu law following a decision at the European Court of Human Rights. Burqu law is a ban on people covering fo their face in public. This law was enacted in France first. And judges upheld France’s burqu law and accepted the argument that veils threatened the right of citizens to live together in society. And the head of think-tank Justitia said that this law ins't targeted at specific religions, but just to ensure social cohesion and interaction between citizens. 

I often see the woman who wearing a hijab in my university. At first I confused hijab is a burqu. But burqu is covering the face except only small region of eyes. Then I think it look so stuffy. Sometimes some people are forced to wear the burqu. So this burqu law can help women who undergo religious coercion to wear burqu. However, if woman is not forced and just wear because of her faith, this law makes another problem. I think that people have a select their own religion and they can follow religious behavior. It is a humans right. But this burqu law invasions Religious beliefs. Therefore although there are no intend of targeting at specific religions, I don't accept this law partially.
