Hello, Joey. How’s everything?

Joey:

Everything’s fine. So, Hope, what are you doing with that pile of papers on your desk?

Let me help you.

Hope:

Oh, thanks. By the way, Joey, did you know that Earth Day is coming up soon?

Joey:

世界地球日，是嗎? Yes, it’s on April 22nd, right? It’s next Monday.

I think it is a great opportunity to 提升大家對環保的意識。

Yes, Earth Day is a good opportunity to raise awareness about environmental issues.

Definitely. I think it is important for each of us to consider what we can do to protect our environment.

Absolutely. Even small actions can make a big difference.

So, Joey. Have you got any ideas about what we can do to help protect the Earth?

Joey:

Of course. 當然! 例如減少一次性塑膠用品的使用、節約能源和做好資源回收等等。

Hope:

You are right. We can do things in the daily base like reducing our use of single-use plastics, conserving energy, and recycling, etc.

Joey:

That’s right. 減少一次性塑膠用品的使用reducing our use of single-use plastics is really important.

This way, we don’t produce more garbage.

Hope:

And we can reduce carbon emissions by conserving energy.

Joey:

所以，減少碳排放是reduce carbon emissions, 是嗎?

Hope:

Yes, that’s right. Besides, recycling is a good process to help create new items out of the materials from the old ones.

Then there are new products we can use.

Joey:

對!藉由資源分類回收，我們可以再製造新的物品。這真的很環保!

Hope:

Yes. It’s really eco-friendly.

Joey:

Eco-friendly 是環保的嗎?

Hope:

Yes, we can also say “Environmentally friendly.”

Joey:

Talking about environmentally friendly or eco-friendly, we can also support 一些活動，例如淨灘或植樹。

Hope:

Yes. Beach cleanups and tree planting are also some of meaningful activities to get people involved in the community.

These activities can also have a direct impact on our surroundings.

Joey:

這樣說來，Earth Day 真的很具意義。

Hope:

That’s true. Earth Day really plays its role to educate earth people about the importance of protecting our world and to inspire them to take action.

Joey:

Agreed. 大家一起做環保才能使地球永續!

Hope:

As long as everyone can do their part, we can make a different and create a healthier, and more sustainable world for future generations.
