Unit 14 - Precautionary Measures

I think the picture shows that in the end, global warming will turn the earth into a desert.

We should protect the nature as a precaution to global warming. We shouldn't pollute the environment. We can try to use less electricity and less water. We must use less energy in our lives.
We must recycle too.

-How can I use solar energy?
-We can use solar power for our hot water and heating. You can buy solar energy panels for your house.
-How can I reduce pollution caused by cars?
-You can use other methods of travel. You can walk short distances and use public transport for long distances.
-How can I use less electric energy?
-You can turn off lights when you go out of a room. You can turn the air conditioning down in summers too.

-They mean reduce, reuse and recyle.

These words remind me of the summer holiday.
