How can we reduce our carbon footprint?
carbon footprint: the amount of carbon dioxide that a person or organization produces by the things they do, used as a way of measuring the amount of harm they do to the environment.
turn electrical appliances off when not using them
walk or ride a bike, don’t drive
recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers
buy things made from recycled materials
plant more trees
talk with family and friends about
global warming
Homework
1. exercises related to the text( a paper)
2. make a poster about how to protect the environment.

THANKS!
As we know,Earth is getting warmer and warmer, 1.which results in melting ice and rising sea levels. In 2013, a dead polar bear
2.was found(find)on Norway’s Arctic island of Svalbard. Experts said that it was low sea-ice levels 3.caused(cause) by climate change 4.that killed the polar bear. Scientists often mention that the “man-made” greenhouse effect is a big problem. 5.The rise in temperature has led to an increase in extreme weather and natural disasters worldwide, causing serious damage and costing human lives.The further global warming that results 6.from the continued greenhouse gas emissions 7.requires(require) the attention of people all over the world. Governments need to make policies and take measures
8.to reduce(reduce) greenhouse gas emissions. As individuals, we should also reduce our “carbon footprint” by 9.restricting(restrict) the amount of carbon dioxide our 10.lifestyles(lifestyle) produce.
