The environment : réchauffement climatique et les 3 R

Our planet is facing environmental challenges like global warming caused by $CO_2$ . To help, we must practice the 3 R's: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Saving energy by turning off lights or using less water ( $H_2O$ ) makes a difference. Small daily changes create a big impact. We must protect biodiversity to ensure a healthy future. Climate change affects weather patterns globally. Every action counts, so be eco-friendly today!

Basic vocabulary regarding nature and daily actions

Understanding the present simple and imperative forms

The greenhouse effect increases the temperature by $1.5^\circ C$ to $2^\circ C$ .

Pollution types: air, water, and soil.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Switching off lights saves energy.

The gradual increase in Earth's temperature due to greenhouse gases like $CO_2$ .

Polar ice caps melting.

Living in a way that doesn't exhaust natural resources.

Using solar power ( $E_{solar}$ ) instead of coal.

A strategy to minimize waste: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Turning an old bottle into a pencil holder.

Reducing your carbon footprint at home.

Step 1: Reduce the time of your shower to save water ( $H_2O$ ).

Step 2: Reuse plastic containers instead of throwing them away.

Step 3: Recycle paper and plastic in the correct bins.

Result: You contribute to lowering the impact of waste on the ecosystem.

Imagine the Earth wearing a thick blanket ( $CO_2$ ) that makes it too hot to sleep.

Think of a funnel: Reduce (start big), Reuse (keep it going), Recycle (final step).

Confusing 'weather' and 'climate'.

Weather is daily (today is rainy), while climate is the average over years.

Thinking 'pollution' only means plastic.

Pollution includes gases like $CH_4$ or $CO_2$ , chemical waste, and noise/light pollution.
