Welcome to our club meeting. As you know, we are organising a Go Green Weekend event next Sunday. Before
presenting the event schedule, let me briefly tell you about the teams and activities. There will be three teams.
Each team will take care of one specific task.

The Clean-up Team will be responsible for cleaning the central park in our town. They will pick up rubbish,
bottles, plastic bags, anything that's lying around. They will also water small trees and flowers in the park.

The Donation Team will collect used items from local people. Then they will have to sort and put them into the
correct bags. This will make delivery much easier and will also help reach the people who need these items
quickly.

The Media Team will be responsible for reporting on the event. They will take photos of the activities during the
event and post them on the club's website. They will also write a report which will summarise the results of the
event and make suggestions for other club activities in the future.

More and more people adopt a green lifestyle. It is a choice we make to change to a greener and more
sustainable lifestyle. There are many things you can do to become an eco-friendly person. Here are some of
them.

Turning off your appliances when they are not in use

This is one of the easiest ways to save energy and reduce your carbon footprint. It also helps reduce energy bills
and prevent any dangerous situations such as a fire or an explosion.

Buying products that are grown using more natural organic methods

This helps reduce the use of harmful chemicals in food. Organic food is better for us because it is safer and
healthier. It also tastes better.

Cutting down on plastic use

This really helps the environment because it takes many years for plastic waste to break down into small pieces.
Bring a reusable bag when you go shopping, and your own refillable bottle instead of buying bottled water.

Recycling as much as possible

This prevents pollution because it reduces the need to collect new raw materials and protects natural resources
such as water and trees. So don't throw away your used household items, but sort and recycle them.

1. Green living is now compulsory for many people.

2. Turning off electrical appliances is an easy way to save energy.

3. It takes a long time for plastic waste to break down.
