environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest
everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to
live a green life.
Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce means "use less". Don"t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste
going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the
old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to
buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that
they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we
can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don"t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It"s
better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means "change things into something else". Although it takes energy to change something
into something else, it"s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled
in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from
recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

| Read this dialogue between Karen Lu and Alice Evans on a daily television talk show called "Our World". Alice has recently travelled around India on an elephant. Karen:Welcome to the programme. First of all, Alice, what gave you the idea to travel around India on an elephant? Alice:Well, it all started when I went to a photographic exhibition of elephants. Then, a few days later, I started reading a book about an Englishman travelling all the way to India on foot. I suddenly had the idea to travel on an elephant. Karen: So what did you do next? Alice: I rang a friend in India and told him 1 wanted to buy an elephant. He told me about the prices of elephants. He said that 1 would need two people to help me: one person to cut the animal"s food, because elephants can eat up to 200kg of food each day, and another person to drive the elephant. Karen:Is it expensive to buy an elephant? Alice:We bought a female elephant called Tara for about US$6,000. Karen: Well, Alice, you"d found your elephant. What did you do next? Alice:Next, we had to plan our route. As we had to sell Tara at the end of the journey, we decided to travel to Sonepur in northern India where the world"s oldest elephant market is located. The market lasts for two weeks every year and elephants can never be sold there before the special date of 23rd November. The whole journey would take about 64 days to complete. Karen:I see. And did you have any problems on your journey? Alice:Yes. a few, but nothing too serious. At the beginning, Tara hurt her foot. But that got better after a week. The weather was very bad as well. And we often found uninvited guests in our tents-snakes-which made sleeping rather difficult! Karen: That sounds awful! And what finally happened when you reached the end of your journey? Alice: I had grown very fond of Tara, and I didn"t want to sell her, even though I knew I had to. Luckily, however, I met some old friends at the market. They were looking for an elephant for their national park. I knew that Tara would be safe in the national park, so I gave her to them. I was very sad to say goodbye. | |||||||||||
