STEP 2 - READING ACTIVITY
“A Green Journey”
Meet Lisa, an eco-conscious person who takes her responsibility toward the environment
seriously. Her daily routine and past habits reflect a deep commitment to preserving our
planet. Let's dive into Lisa's world to discover how she makes a difference and the changes
she has made over the years. Lisa gets up early in the morning to enjoy the freshness of
the day. She believes in making the most of daylight to reduce her energy consumption.
After getting up, Lisa stands up for what she believes in – environmental conservation.
She's an active member of her community's eco-club. Lisa looks after her neighborhood's
green spaces, participating in local park clean-ups and encouraging others to do the same.
She hands in her recyclables diligently, ensuring they are properly sorted. She knows that
recycling is a simple but effective way to reduce waste.
Whenever she goes for a walk, Lisa takes away any litter she finds on the streets, making
the cleanliness of her surroundings a top priority.
In her younger years, Lisa used to take off on long road trips, largely unaware of her
carbon footprint and the distant concern of fuel consumption. She also used to take over
half-hour showers, unaware to the amount of water being wasted. However, today, she's
much more mindful and keeps her showers short. In her youth, Lisa often came out of
stores with plastic bags full of groceries. Today, she opts for reusable bags, significantly
reducing plastic waste. Realizing the importance of environmental knowledge, she looked
up various sources to learn more about sustainable living, strongly believing that education
is key to change. She took away her old, energy-inefficient appliances, replacing them with
energy-saving ones, a small change that had a big impact on her electricity bills and the
environment.
Lisa knows that if we don't take care of our planet, it will suffer. She firmly believes that if
she continues to lead an eco-friendly life, her efforts will contribute to a greener future. She
used to be less eco-conscious, but she's come a long way in her journey. She used to waste
resources, but now she strives to be more sustainable.
According to the text, answer the following questions.
• Why does Lisa believe that education is essential for making a change
towards sustainability? Explain it.
- Because education promotes a culture of respect for the environment that
must be managed every day in our places of residence, work and study, in the same
way that education helps to understand environmental problems such as climate
change, the loss of biodiversity, and pollution. When people are aware of the
challenges, they are more likely to make informed decisions and act for the planet.
• What kind of changes have you adopted at home to have a greener
future? Describe 2 of them.
- At home they have implemented a rigorous recycling system in which paper,
plastic, glass and metal are separated, as well as food remains and organic waste.
Maintaining this order reduces the amount of garbage and organic waste is used for
use. of the garden
- Reduction in electricity consumption since many times we leave cell phone
chargers connected, and some appliances that we do not use frequently and thus
reduce energy consumption

When I was in school, I used to be very kind and respectful. The uniform she wore was a
dark blue skirt, white shirt, white socks and black shoes. I used to be very judicious

compared to the young people of this time. I was always very respectful of my parents,
teachers, classmates and other people; At school I always thought that studying and being a
professional was something very important for our future, which today is a reality.
In the second article, write about ECO actions to reduce harmful effects on the
environment. The title of the article is going to be: BE GREEN
BE GREEN
• Planting more trees can help mitigate the effects of deforestation and combat
climate change
• Reducing the use of plastics and promoting recycling, changing single-use products
for reusable alternatives, such as bottles and cloth bags, which contributes to
reducing pollution in the oceans and land.
• If individuals switch to renewable energy sources like solar or wind power,We can
reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
• If everyone participated in beach clean-up initiatives, we could prevent marine
animals from ingesting harmful plastic debris.
• Support local producers to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation and choose
organic products.
• Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth and reduce your time in the shower.
Install water saving systems.
