Identify each picture: 1- riding a bike, 2-using plastic bags, 3- composting, 4- using solar
panels, 5- cutting down trees, 6- wasting water, 7-broken sink, 8-recycling

Now, what can you tell me positive environmental practices? Why?

proposed in this document are very useful and easy to apply. In addition, they generate very
good and fast results, thus actively contributing to Sustainable Development, reducing the
amount of waste produced and facilitating its reuse.
Reduce emissions to the atmosphere, noise and water discharges.

What can you tell me negative environmental practices? Why?

Actions that aim to reduce the negative environmental impact caused by production processes
through changes in the organization of processes and activities. The implementation of Good
Environmental Practices must be assumed by the company, understood in its entirety, prior to its
application.

Task 1: Read the following list of key words for the topic. Remember them by completing the
text with this important vocabulary about sustainable development.
Word list: Paper, waste, collecting, recycling, pollution, logo, recycled

Recycling is taking used materials and A) waste and then turning it into new, useful products. For
example, most paper is made from trees, but if old paper is recycled, less trees will be needed.
Recycling uses less energy, and helps to control B) pollution.
Three steps for recycling include C) collecting, sorting, and processing.
What materials can be D) recycled? E) paper, including newspapers, magazines, cardboard, books,
and envelopes can all be recycled into reusable products.
Plastic is also a common recyclable product, including water, soda, and other drink bottles; plastic

and many other glass products.

3. Pongo en práctica lo
Steps to answer the exercises
1- 1- Read and answer.
2- Answer the one exercise. Read the given information. Answer the questions.
3- Then read each sentence and complete it with your own idea.
4- Answer the exercise.
5- Share information and ideas with a relative at home.
Task 3: Read the information and identify specific vocabulary about sustainability and
negative actions. Read and complete statement based on it.

Global warming: scientist say that the temperature of the earth could rise by 3 C over the next
50 years. This may cause drought in some parts of the world, and floods in others, as ice at the
North and South poles begins to melt and sea levels rise. Global warming is caused by the
greenhouse effect. Normally, heat from the sun warms the earth and then escapes back into
space. But carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere trap the sun’s heat, and this is
slowly making the earth warmer.
The Ozone layer: This is a layer of gas high above the surface of the earth that helps to protect it
from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, which can damage our skins and cause cancer. Scientists
have recently discovered holes in the ozone layer, caused by substances called CFCs
(chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are used in refrigerators, aerosol cans and in the manufacture of
some plastic products. Some companies now make aerosols that do not contain CFCs, and they
are often marked “ozone friendly”.

1- What could happen to Earth if sea levels rise?

This may cause drought in some parts of the world, and floods in others.
2- What is the ozone layer?
This is a layer of gas high above the surface of the earth that helps to protect it from
the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, which can damage our skins and cause cancer
 3- What causes global warming?
is caused by the greenhouse effect.
4- What is the greenhouse effected?
Normally, heat from the sun warms the earth and then escapes back into space. But
carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere trap the sun’s heat, and this is
slowly making the earth warmer.
5- What does the ozone layer protect?
helps to protect it from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, which can damage our skins.
6- What can cause the overexposure to ultraviolet radiation?
an damage our skins and cause cancer.

Task 4: Look at the information. Answer based on it.

Read the article and answer the exercise based on it.

Keep it Green!
Everybody buys and uses a variety of products every day without giving to a lot of
thought. You might not have realized it, but each these products affects the
environment somehow: through the way it is made, used or disposed of. For this
reason, eco – scientists are trying to come up with ideas to introduce environmentally –
friendly products into our lives. Their motto is REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!

1.Where does the eco - friendly showerhead get its power from?
We tend to waste a lot of energy, which is not particularly good for the
environment.
2. How can you tell if the water is too hot with the eco – friendly showerhead?
Well, this showerhead has an indicator which glows blue or red when the water is
too cold or too hot.
3- Which actions experts promote to do?
It’s sure to be a feature in homes all over the world in the future.

discuss about with one member of your family.

Separate the garbage. ...
Use products that can be reused.
How can we make people more aware of environment issues?
From school, through environmental education exercises for the little ones.
