Read the text and complete the sentences

Our world is changing dramatically. We feel that the air is not fresh when we breathe. We doubt the quality of the food we eat. We experience climate change. Of course, we need to pay attention to the situation with ecology and develop ways to lead an eco-friendly life every day.

Use things more than once

The first thing we all can do is use things multiple times. It's not difficult to take a fabric bag when we go to the shop. Thus, we will reduce the number of one-use bags. We can also carry a multiple-use bottle for water and refill it. Until we develop eco-friendly packaging instead of plastic one, we can learn to use things more than once.

Recycle what can be recycled

We need to sort garbage, so that when facilities are ready to recycle it, it's been already sorted out. Don't forget to wash plastic bottles and packages before throwing them into the bin. Recycling is possible only if the plastic packaging is clean.

Alternative energy

It's great that there are cities where you can ride a bike anywhere. Unfortunately, in Russia it's not possible most time of the year. It doesn't mean we don't have ways to use energy in a more eco-friendly way. For example, electric buses are a better solution than usual public transport. Other sources of alternative energy are wind, water, and sunlight. Though solar batteries cannot be used everywhere, as you need sunny weather for them to work.

We don't have all the solutions now. If we go on inventing and thinking about this problem, we will find them someday.
