PERFORMANCE TASK NO. 2 – LET’S PICK OUT THE MEAT

DIRECTIONS: Read the cause and effect passage below. Then fill in the chart below.

Environmentalists have been concerned about the impact that individuals have on our planet, and
many people wonder what they can do to help protect the environment. A good place to start is by reducing
one’s ecological footprint. An ecological footprint is an estimate of how much land, water, and other natural
resources are being used by a person or a group. Because resources are easily accessible in developed
countries like the United States, people in these countries tend to have large ecological footprints. For
example, they may take long showers, leave their computers on for the whole day, and buy new things they do
not need because the items are on sale. The consequences of large ecological footprints can be disastrous.1
One of the worst effects of large ecological footprints is the loss of natural resources, such as oil, water, and
wood. These resources are being consumed so fast that the Earth does not have time to renew them.
According to Adam Grubb (2011, para. 1), co-founder of Energy Bulletin, 85 million barrels of oil are
produced daily in the world. People use oil to run their cars, heat their homes, and create products such as
clothes, paint, and plastic. In “Forest Facts,” the United Nations Environment Programme (2011) reveals that
“36 million acres of natural forest are lost each year” (para. 2). As more people consume products like oil and
wood, these natural resources will become even scarcer.2 Large ecological footprints also lead to higher
greenhouse gas emissions. The mining of oil, natural gas, and coal, as well as the use of these resources in
electrical power plants and automobiles, releases dangerous gases into the air, where they trap3 heat. As a
result, the Earth gets warmer. Another result of large ecological footprints is the increased pollution of rivers
and streams. A great deal of waste is thrown into rivers and streams daily. Because of pollution, the water in
many bodies of water is becoming or has already become unsuitable for human consumption.
It is our responsibility to find ways to decrease our impact on our planet. Even small changes can
make a difference and help to protect the environment. If we do not start reducing our ecological footprints
right away, it may be too late for future generations to contain 4 the damage.
