1. According to Martina, what are the main ways to deal with old clothes in Switzerland Have you tried any of these
Some of the clothes are sold in charity shops, some are given to people in need, and others are sent to factories for recycling. I have sent my clothes to my friends and relatives in need.
Think about the questions below. Share your answers with your classmates.
2. Do you think it is necessary for a government to make strict laws to protect the environment Give your reasons.
Yes, I believe it is necessary for a government to make strict laws to protect the environment. Not everyone will protect the environment on their own. Some companies care more about making money than protecting nature. Laws can make them follow rules, such as cleaning up waste or using cleaner energy.
3. Besides the efforts mentioned in the text, what else can we do to help protect the environment
To help protect the environment, we can take small actions every day, for example:
turning off taps while brushing our teeth and taking shorter showers;
turning off lights and unplugging chargers when not using them;
using reusable bags, bottles and lunchboxes instead of disposable ones.
