                 Look at the picture and discuss the answers to the questions in the box.












                                                              1.  What does the picture tell you?
                                                              2.  How is it related to using energy sources?

                 Below is the first part of a text. Read and decide which of the statements below we can infer
                 from it.




                                  F   Higher carbon footprints are threats to the planet.
                                  F   Our choices play a vital role in lowering carbon footprints.
                                  F   Environment- friendly activities contribute to one’s carbon footprint.




                 While  some  scientists  are  working  day  and  night
                 to  discover  alternative  renewable  energy  sources,
                 others are focusing on reserves of fossil fuels such
                 as  coal,  oil,  etc.  because  they  will  run  out  soon.
                 Calculations are very important for energy sources,
                 because we need to find out how much people use,
                 should use and our needs for the future of the planet
                 and environment. Carbon footprint calculations make
                 it easier. Greenhouse gas emissions from people’s
                 and  organizations’  productions  and  consumptions
                 are their carbon footprints. You have your carbon footprints, too. With your choices, you add to your carbon
                 footprints or help with a healthier environment. For example, if you choose to walk to work, your carbon footprint
                 will not increase, because you haven’t caused emissions from your car. However, if you choose to drive but not
                 walk, you will add to your carbon footprints with emissions from the car. Your choice has damaged humanity in two
                 ways; you have used oil, a kind of fossil fuel, and emitted harmful gases into the atmosphere. If you switch your
                 heater to 19 C instead of 20 C, it will generate less energy, so you will lower your carbon footprint. Knowing the
                                        0
                           0
                 amount of the damage and the causes is a great advantage and we should act wisely. There is a close relationship
                 between using, wasting energy sources and carbon footprint levels. Therefore, we had better seek for ways of
                 lowering carbon footprints, in other words, using energy sources wisely. Here are some helpful tips:
