Watch & Brainstorm
Nature is speaking ...
What does she really want to say
Pay close attention to what she says.
I don’t really need people, but people need me.
Yes, your future depends on me. When I thrive, you thrive. When I falter, you falter, or worse.
How you choose to live each day, whether you regard or disregard me, doesn’t really matter to me. Your actions will determine your fate, not mine. I am nature. I will go on. I am prepared to evolve. Are you

Fast reading
Read the four subheadings in the passage and decide if they are true or false. Then read the passage and check your answers.
Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
When you turn off a device, it stops using power.
Eating local food is good for the environment.
It’s better to take a shower than a bath.
False. Making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to three times the amount of water. The process also produces more greenhouse gases.
In fact, both kinds of bags are bad for the environment. So, take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping.
Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
When you turn off a device, it stops using power.
False. When we turn off a device, such as television, it goes into stand-by mode. Devices in this mode still use power, and older devices in stand-by mode can use even more.
To make sure your appliance is in fact off, remove the plug from its power supply.
Apart from the transport, we should take the production of food into account.
Eating local food is good for the environment.
False. In some cases, local produce might have used more energy and produced more greenhouse gases than produce grown a long way away — even taking into account its transport.
The key is to keep your shower time as short as possible.
It’s better to take a shower than a bath.
False. It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is. If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you’ll use as much water as in a bath — about 50 litres of water.
