“A Green Journey”
According to the text, answer the following questions.
 Why does Lisa believe that education is essential for making a change towards
sustainability? Explain it.

Lisa believes that education is essential for making a change towards sustainability because she
understands that knowledge is key to driving meaningful change. By educating herself about sustainable
living practices, she gains a deeper understanding of the environmental impact of her actions and how she
can make more eco-friendly choices. This knowledge empowers her to adopt sustainable habits and
advocate for environmental conservation within her community. Additionally, education allows her to stay
informed about new technologies, policies, and initiatives aimed at protecting the planet, enabling her to
adapt her lifestyle accordingly and inspire others to do the same.

 Have you ever been a backpacker? How this traveling style contribute to take care the
environment in your region? Mention 3 contributions.
I don't have personal experiences, so I can't answer the second question based on my own experiences.
However, I can provide a general response. Being a backpacker can contribute to taking care of the
environment in several ways:
Minimal ecological footprint: Backpackers often travel light and prioritize experiences over material
possessions. This minimalist approach reduces the amount of waste generated during travel and minimizes
their environmental impact.
Supporting local economies: Backpackers often choose to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eat at
small restaurants, and purchase goods from local markets. By supporting local businesses, they contribute
to the economic sustainability of the communities they visit and help preserve traditional ways of life.
Environmental conservation efforts: Backpackers often seek out natural areas for hiking, camping, and
wildlife observation. By promoting responsible tourism practices, such as Leave No Trace principles, they
help protect fragile ecosystems and biodiversity hotspots from negative impacts like habitat destruction
and pollution.

 What kind of changes have you adopted at home to have a greener

future? Describe 2 of them.
Regarding the changes adopted at home to have a greener future, Lisa has made several changes to reduce
her environmental impact:
Switching to reusable bags: Instead of using plastic bags for groceries, Lisa now uses reusable bags. This
simple change significantly reduces her plastic waste and helps minimize the environmental harm caused
by single-use plastics.
Upgrading to energy-saving appliances: Lisa replaced her old, energy-inefficient appliances with energy-
saving ones. This small change not only reduces her electricity bills but also decreases her carbon
footprint, as energy-saving appliances consume less electricity and contribute to overall energy
conservation.
These changes demonstrate Lisa's commitment to sustainable living and her efforts to minimize her
environmental impact at home.
