READING   COMPREHENSION ,   6TH PRIMARY,    UNIT  6    "Think  green"

We are going to  celebrate the  “Green  Week”   at the campsite,

 today is the 5th of June, it is World Environment day 

 and we  are  going to have some  activities related to the environment.

 By the  way, I  am  Martina, and  I  am from Spain, although my parents are from Ireland.

At the campsite  we  are going to have six  trash bins; oil, paper,

 plastic, organic and batteries, here everybody is responsible

 about the use of energy and we trust recycling. We are going

 to be here for one week, it is amazing¡¡¡¡

Did you know we  use 200 liters of water  every 15 minutes of shower? 

So…. short showers.  and  do  not  forget  to close the tap   while  you 

are brushing  your teeth.

And what about the oil  we use  in the kitchen? There  are  several 

 solutions. I am  going to  make  homemade  soap or you  can

 recycle in a proper place, also   it is used  for  fuel manufacturing.

I am not going to  forget  to turn off  the lights  and  I  am  going

 to use  energy efficient bulbs. My father  says  that  we  are going 

to put solar  panels on the roof to heat the water.

In my house we all  love plants and flowers,  we are  going

 to  collect  water  from rain and we are going to water at  sunset.
I  am  not  going to use  plastic  bags anymore.
