+ Hey, isn’t this a great picture?

I love the ocean, but I’m worried about pollution and how it affects ocean life. Do you
worry about threats to ocean life?

- Oh yes! Mi dad is diver and he tell me that in the place where we life, an island in the south of Chile, is
decreasing of sea animals.

+ I was reading the newspaper, and I found out that sea lions are one of the endangered species in Chile. What are some
other endangered species in this area?

- Well. their endangered species is the penguin Humboldt and the wild cat. I’m very grateful of the environmental
organizations because ¿can you imagine what would be of us if they didn't exist?

+ I volunteer for Greenpeace, an organization that promotes the protection of the environment. I’m participating in a
campaign to save the ocean life. Have you ever participated in any environmental campaigns or protection efforts?

- Really? That is perfect and a beautiful action. The true is that I have never participated in an environmental
organization or any environmental campaigns but I’m really interested in do it when I have time because the
change have to start for oneself.

+ Another way to protect the environment is to cut sown on the amount of thrash we create by recycling. How do you
contribute to recycling efforts?

- Well I usually take my plastic bottles to the drop-off point and, in my house, I have three dumps for different
garbage like plastic, cardboard and paper. Also, I do compost with my organic waste and I take the cans to the
drop-off point.

+ You know, although plastic bottles are recyclable, many people throw them on the ground in the parks, and at the
beach. Can you think of some ways to prevent littering?

- I don’t understand how is possible that people can be able to littering. I think that this people don’t have
education and are very dirty. They need a change in their minds right now.

+ Another way I try to care for the environment is by not eating meat. What do you think about vegetarianism?

- I think that be vegetarian is a good choice but for me is a few complicated because I have a concept in my mind
that say that if I don’t eat meat, I won’t feel me healthy. That is because I’m very thin and I think that I could sick
with anemia for example, but I need study more to be clear about that.

+ Well, it was nice to talk to you. I’m glad to hear that caring for the environment is important to you, too.

- Its pleasure talks with someone that think like you, today I learned that I need work a little harder because
someone have to safe the environment. Good bye, have a nice day.
