is increasing, global temperatures are rising and rainforests are disappearing. It’s a big world with
big problems, so what can we do to help?

2 _______d_________

electricity in the home, recycling paper and glass and changing your light bulbs to energy-saving
ones.

3 ________a________
In addition, buying food produced on farms close to your home helps the environment. It uses a lot
of fuel to move food around by road, sea and air, so if you can cut down on the distance your food
travels, you’ll reduce pollution. You’ll also be helping the economy in your area and you’ll have the
added bonus of knowing exactly where your food came from.
