GOING GREEN These people are working together to protect the environment. Let’s see what these people are doing in order to save our planet. My name’s Mike and I’m a teacher from Liverpool, in England. I know that water is an important natural resource, so I’m having 5-minute showers so that I don’t waste it. I’m also teaching my students about how to protect animals by buying ecological products. We are the Smith family. We are from Glasgow, Scotland. Our family is small: my wife, my son Theo and me. We are riding our bikes to school and work. That way, we don’t pollute the air. Also, we are helping to keep the streets clean by picking up the rubbish. 5 In pairs, order the ideas. Say which are the most helpful. ❚ Having showers instead of baths. ❚ Making laws to protect endangered species. ❚ Recycling at home. ❚ Picking up rubbish. ❚ Riding a bike instead of driving a car. 6 Both people and governments need to act against climate change. ❚ Do you agree with this? Why? CORE VALUES Conservation My name is Sara. I’m 15 years old and I’m from Medellin, Colombia. My family is huge. I’ve got lots of brothers, sisters and cousins.
