I can’t understand why people are so careless and indifferent towards their own
future. It is obvious that if we go on like this, the planet will change dramatically.
It is already happening. Global warming has caused the temperature to rise all over
the Earth. The level of the ocean is rising and the climate is changing. It’s all the
result of human activity! We produce so much toxic waste and rubbish that our
own life will soon be threatened by it.
Speaker B
You may say that it’s the government who should think about the environment, but
I don’t agree – normal people like you and me can do a lot too. All of us know
about the coloured containers for rubbish and waste - those green, yellow, and blue
containers you can find in any street. But not all of us bother to use them.
Meanwhile, if we put the rubbish into different containers, it’s easier and cheaper
to recycle it. If each of us spends several minutes of our time on sorting their own
waste, it will save lots of forests... and other resources, ...and energy, and it will
prevent unnecessary pollution.
Speaker C
Well, ok, I won’t be able to pick you up after your conference, but it’s not a
problem. Just take bus number 4, from the bus stop right in front of your building.
Get off at the fourth stop. Cross the street and go across a small park. Go on until
you reach the next street. There you’ll see an Eco-food shop. You can't miss their
window as they advertise all the sorts of healthy bread, cereals, vegetable juices
you like so much. Pass the shop and go towards the waste containers - you know,
the green one - for glass, the yellow - for paper, and the blue one - for plastic and
cans...
Speaker D
The thing I really appreciated there is the way the people treat the environment.
They are very careful about everything around them. When they build a house, or
make a road, they try to preserve or replant the trees. The streets look pretty - green
and very clean. There are garbage containers and litter bins everywhere and the
people are not too lazy to sort their rubbish before throwing it away. And we
stayed in a pretty family inn. The owner told us they have installed the solar panels
on the roof to generate clean electricity in order not to produce toxic gases.
Speaker E
I was impressed by the decorations they make. Just imagine, you can make nice
ear-rings or a bracelet from (you’ll never believe it!) an empty plastic bottle! I have
made this sort of accessory for all my friends and they are very happy with them.
Now I do not hurry to take the plastic bottles to the waste containers. Let me show
you how to create this original vase for flowers… All you need to create some
lovely decorations is a few empty plastic bottles, preferably of different colours,
scissors, and some glue. It’s important the glue should be colourless and suitable
for plastic...
