Reuse, Reduce, Recycle

An easy to understand video (an American girl´s school project) describing exactly what we were talking about in 1ºeso.  There are loads of passives which the Trinity examiner will want to see and the content and phrases below are equally valid for any article about recyling at any level.

Interesting phrases:
Going green: to become environmentally friendly.
Ignorance is bliss: Being really happy because you don´t know what is going on.
Another phrase we did in 2ºEso which means more or less the same is "out of sight out of mind"
plus another one for maybe advance level "what the eye does´t see the heart does´t grieve over"
purchases are made: things are bought
to purchase: to buy
consumption: consumo
landfill site: a hole in the ground where all our waste gets dumped
biodegrade, decompose
junk mail: the letters and publicity that come through the post that you haven´t asked for.
opt out from mailing lists: ring up companies to tell them you don´t want this junk mail anymore.
switch to electronic statements and bills: receive your banking information by email and not paper.
She asks:"What if teachers gave extra points to students who used both sides of the paper for homework etc?" Interesting idea eh 1ºeso!!
