Is it cool to be GREEN?

Definitely! We need to protect our planet for our future. That’s why I always travel on public transport. Too many people drive, so there are always                in the city centre. At my school, we recycle as much as we can. We don’t use                 such as sun or wind power, but our head teacher has plans for solar panels on the roof. Some people joke that they like warmer weather, but I tell them that                 is really not good. Rising ocean levels cause floods that can destroy houses and farms.
