B. LISTEN AND READ
M: Nam, I read yesterday that we all have a
carbon footprint.
N: Well, we all have footprints – we make them with our feet!
M: Ha ha, I know that. But this kind of footprint is about the negative effect we have on the environment.
N: Right, it’s in the news a lot these days.
M: So our footprint is bigger when we use energy that produces carbon dioxide. That’s bad for the environment.
N: So it’s better to have a smaller footprint, right?
M: Right, Nam. Non-renewable energy sources like coal, natural gas, and oil produce a lot of
carbon dioxide. Those sources are going to run
out soon too.
N: So, they’re different to wind, hydro, and solar?
M: Yes, they’re all sources of energy too, but they’re renewable. That means we can’t use them all up – they will last forever.
N: Do you have a big carbon footprint, Mai?
M: Mine’s small. I recycle the products I use and I go everywhere by bike. We have solar panels on our roof at home to catch the sun’s energy, too.
N: Oh no! I think my footprint is big, and not just because of these big shoes!
a. Answer the questions.
What is a carbon footprint?
2. What does `non-renewable energy` mean?
3. Why is sunlight a renewable source?
4. Why does Mai think she has a small carbon footprint?
5. What things do you think might create a big carbon footprint?
What is a carbon footprint?

2. What does `non-renewable energy` mean?

3. Why is sunlight a renewable source?
It’s about the negative effect we have on the environment.
‘Non-renewable energy’ means that it will run out if we use it.
Sunlight is a renewable source because we can’t use it all up, it will last forever.
4. Why does Mai think she has a small carbon footprint?

5. What things do you think might create a big carbon footprint?
The products we use that are bad for the environment or the energy we use that produces carbon dioxide might create a big carbon footprint.
Mai thinks she has a small carbon footprint because she recycles the products she uses and she goes everywhere by bike.
