Why do people think plastic bags are bad for the environment
Because plastic bags cause litter & are a danger to wild animals, which mistake them for food. And it takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down.
Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones.
What else can be reused in our daily life
thermos /＇θ m s/
water cup
meal box
Why is the word “off” put into a quotation mark
Because electricity continues to leak from the device even when it is turned “off”.
Because the appliance is not really off, and it goes into stand-by mode and still uses power.
When you turn off a device, it stops using power.
Why does the device still use power when it’s turned off
Why do people think eating local food is better for the environment
It seems like common sense, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport.
Eating local food is good for the environment.
Why is it not always better to take a shower than a bath
It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is .
It’s better to take a shower than a bath.
If you spend more than eight minutes on shower, you will use as much water as in a bath---about 50 litres of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible.

Post-reading
Are you aware of any other “green truths” that are not true
Start your retelling by stating the topic.
Describe the “green truth” in more detail--- why people believe it’s “green”.
Explain why it is not completely true.
Are electric cars really “green”
and Share
Example:
Are electric cars really “green”
Electric cars run on electricity and they don’t burn gasoline at all; therefore they don’t emit CO2, thus creating “zero emission” (零排放).
Although driving an electric car does not cause any air pollution, the pollution mainly comes from the production of its battery and the electricity used to keep it running. The production of the electric batteries requires lithium (锂). A large amount of energy is used on mining and processing this metal. Meanwhile, the electricity by which electric cars are powered is mainly from burning coal or gas. All of these contribute to carbon emissions. Consequently, electric cars aren’t really green.
Therefore, it’s better to use public transportation and travel in an environmentally friendly way.
