Youâre a whistleblower if youâre a worker and you report certain types of wrongdoing. This will usually be something youâve seen at work - though not always. The wrongdoing you disclose must be in the public interest. This means it must affect others, eg the general public. As a whistleblower youâre protected by law - you shouldnât be treated unfairly or lose your job because you âblow the whistleâ. You can raise your concern at any time about an incident that happened in the past, is happening now, or you believe will happen in the near future.

As eliminate means get rid of or do away with, it has become used to refer to the end of a problem or even an entire species. We need to eliminate sources of pollution in order to maintain a healthy world. The original literal meaning of eliminate was to thrust over the threshold and out of doors, to kick out, but the 18th century saw the word expand to mean to exclude, and later to ridding the body of waste. The verb then came to refer to getting rid of anything, such as a problem or foul odor. The word took an ominous turn in the 20th century, when we saw man-made pollution eliminate whole species, and war, hate, and famine nearly eliminate whole groups of people.
