Let's go green!

Kevin: Hey, why are you both wearing green T-shirts? Mai: Aren't they cool? We are launching the Go Green campaign this week. Maria: We want to promote a green lifestyle in our entire neighbourhood. Kevin: A green lifestyle? You mean a lifestyle that is friendly to the environment? Mai: That's right. We believe that the conservation and preservation of natural resources and habitats should be part of technological and economic development. This will help to delay any dangerous climate change …

Maria: And save our planet for future generations. Mai: Exactly! Green technology uses renewable resources that are never depleted. It also creates eco-friendly products. Maria: Some of the participating schools have also decided to use green cleaning products, which are safer since they do not release harmful chemicals into the environment. Kevin: It sounds interesting, but I'm still not sure how students like me can contribute to your campaign. Mai: You can start by simply checking for mould and mildew, and cleaning surfaces with natural products such as vinegar, lemon juice or olive oil. Find out any hazardous chemicals are used for cleaning at your school and start campaigning for their disposal and replacement with eco-friendly products. Maria: Chemicals can affect the air quality and cause health problems like asthma and skin rashes. You can also organise cleaning days to remove any clutter and keep airflow pathways clear in your household or school. Kevin: Well, I can't wait to join your campaign. Are there any green T-shirts left? |
