a Doing nothing about the incident leaves children in danger and your neighbour unaware of his
irresponsibility.
b At least telling the police means that something will be done eventually, but perhaps not before a child
has fallen on the glass.
c Talking to your neighbour is the hardest thing to do, but if the friendly relationship is worth anything,
he will accept what you say, and even the offer of help. Who knows, the incident might lead from
friendly chats to real friendship!

a Dumping irresponsibly is the worst option since the refrigerant will escape at some point in the
dumping process and this will further harm the much-damaged ozone layer that protects the planet
from dangerous radiation from the sun.
b Getting rid of the old fridge safely and getting the cheap, new efficient one is the best option overall.
c Running the old machine until it breaks down and then getting rid of it safely is not so good because
during that period it would use a lot of electricity inefficiently. That means more greenhouse gases from
power generation. You would have to buy a new fridge in the end anyway, and you probably would
not find such a good bargain again.
The higher your score the greener you are!
