Club leader: Hello. Welcome back. Today we're discussing environmental problems and
environmental protection. What are our serious environmental problems now?
Nam: Pollution and habitat loss, I think.
Ann: I agree. The air and water quality are getting worse and worse.
Club leader: Any others?
Ann: Yes, I can think of some like global warming, endangered species loss, …
Nam: So what should we do to help protect our environment?
Club leader: We can reduce our carbon footprint even in our homes.
Ann: What do you mean by 'carbon footprint'?
Club leader: It's the amount of carbon dioxide we release into the environment.
Ann: I see. So we can do things like turning off devices when we're not using them.
Club leader: Right … And there is much more we can do, like practising the 3Rs.
Nam: We can plant more trees in our neighbourhood too.
Ann: And try to avoid using single-use products, like plastic bags, and stop littering.
Club leader: Yeah. And we can volunteer at some local environment programmes to save
endangered species.
