Activity 1 Discussion
I predict that the world will be much cleaner and greener in the future. First, cars running on traditional fuels will be replaced by those powered by new energy, such as electricity or solar energy. As a result, the effect of greenhouse gases on the climate will be significantly reduced. Second, almost all reading and writing will be done on computer and phone screens,so people will cut down fewer trees and use less paper. Third, new technologies will be invented to make sure that our daily activities do not have a negative impact on the environment.
