Recycling is important in today's world if we want to leave this planet for future generations. It is good for the environment since we are (1) ................ new products from the old products which are of no use to us. Recycling begins at home. If you are not throwing (2) ............ any of your old products and instead utilizing them for something new, then you are actually recycling.

When you think of recycling, you should really think about the (3) ............... idea: reduce, reuse and recycle. We've been careless up to this point with the way we've treated the Earth, and it's time to change, not just the way we do things but the way we think. Recycling is good for the environment; in a sense, we are using old and waste products (4) ................are of no use and then converting them back to the same new products. Since we are saving resources and sending less trash to landfills, it helps in reducing air and water pollution.

The more the waste production, the more is the amount of space required to dump (5) ............. wastes. Now, it must be remembered that the space available on earth is very limited, and it is obviously up to us to use it carefully.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 5.

Many people go through life only thinking about their own well-being and that of those around them. In reality, the well-being of the environment is just as important in certain ways. Without a healthy and sustainable environment, their own health and ability to leave behind a sustainable planet to those who live after them is negatively affected. Therefore, two main environmental benefits can be realised with greener living.

Firstly, people can conserve natural resources. The natural resources that man has been enjoying are beginning to disappear. Due to population growth, it is estimated that the use of natural resources has more than tripled since 1970. At that rate, it is not difficult to see how these same resources will eventually become depleted. It is important to conserve those precious resources so that others after this generation can enjoy the same quality of living on this planet.

Secondly, people can reduce the harmful effects of climate change. Primarily due to human's reliance on fossil fuels over the years, climate change is a real concern. People continue to release carbon dioxide into the 11 atmosphere, further polluting the air. This is leading to dramatic changes in temperatures that need to be stopped. Greener living aims to do exactly that. For every person who makes an effort to reduce his or her carbon footprint in the world, climate change can begin to become less of a concern over time.

Katie Stagliano was only twelve when she thought of a way to help give food to poor people in her city. Katie had been watching a cooking programme with her mum who works as a waitress in a restaurant.

Cabbage was one of the vegetables that they used and so Katie started to grow some. She grew a ten-kilo cabbage in her garden. That cabbage was big enough to make food for 275 people at her local soup cafe where people who are hungry can go and get free food.

Katie said, "When I saw how many hungry people had soup from my cabbage, I thought that it doesn't have to be difficult or expensive to help people".

Katie adds, "It also gave me the idea for my business, Katie's Gardens, which builds vegetable gardens so that food can be grown and given to the poor. We don't make any money but everyone working with us takes food for free. We grow lots of fruit and vegetables and take them to places all over the city."
