Script
Kevin: Welcome to the School Life Radio daily podcast "We Save Planet". Today we're hosting Anna Smith, the head of the Environmental Awareness Team of our High School.

Kevin: Hi, Ann! How are you?

Anna: Hi, Kevin! Thanks for inviting me!

Kevin: So, let's start! First of all, tell us, what is an Environmental Awareness Team and why is it important?

Anna: Well, you know that nowadays we are facing a lot of environmental problems, most of which are man-made. I mean people are responsible for global warming, water and air pollution, natural resource depletion and many other problems. At the High School we are studying and learning how to live and earn money, how to develop our skills and make a career, so it's the best place where we can start studying how to protect our environment. That was the main reason to start our project.

Kevin: Wow! That sounds interesting… Can you tell us what you have already done?

Anna: Sure! For example, we started with the small Save the Energy project. We thought about what we can do to save energy when we are at school.

Kevin: Oh, I know! Are you talking about a new rule to switch off lights in empty rooms?

Anna: Right! It's not so difficult to do, by the way. If you are the last person who leaves the classroom, just turn off the lights and close the door to keep the heat in. Also you can walk or cycle to go to school. That helps not to waste much energy and it's very good for your health.

Kevin: I like the idea! Thank you! And what can you tell us about pollution and rubbish?

Anna: That was our second project. We presented it to the school director last year and now you cannot find any plastic stuff in our school canteen. We can use only ecological materials. In addition, we always use both sides of writing paper and started to use more kindle books and e-copies instead of paper. And the last point is that we have been reusing old stuff since the end of last year.

Kevin: It's amazing. How does it work?

Anna: Well, if you have old things in your classroom that you wouldn't use anymore or old books, you should bring them to our office. You can find us on the third floor, near the library. We collect all that old things and then try to reuse them. For example, if we have old jars or cans, we make pen holders and planters from them. They are very beautiful and creative. You can find some if you visit our school library.

Kevin: I'm really overexcited. It's a very cool idea. Thank you, Anna, for your time and for inspiring us to care about the environment at school! We wish good luck to your Environmental Awareness Team and all your projects!

Anna: Thanks, Kevin! I would like to take this opportunity to invite everyone who is interested in Environmental Awareness to join our friendly team.
