c. Listen to the poem. What is it about?

Our planet is in trouble 
We hear it every day 
And yet, we all continue 
To throw it all away 
We're threatening our future

Our planet won't survive 
Think Green! To save the planet!

Think Green! For all our children! 
Think Green! For the race of man! 
Recycle all you rubbish 
Don't buy things you don't need 
Don't kill our perfect planet 
To satisfy your greed 
If we all put together 
Something can be done 
If we think green and act fast
The war will soon be won.

1. Introduction with the new theme: Recycling.

T - Most of us use a product made of paper every day. Paper production represents about 1.2% of the world's total economic output and makes up more than 40% of the composition of landfills. The good news is more and more people are recycling paper. Each group will receive texts containing information about recycling different items. Almost everything we see around us can be recycled.

The recycling process is a cycle and is composed of three stages:

collecting and sorting

manufacturing

selling of the recycled products to consumers

In this stage, waste materials are collected and then processed and sorted according to its type and use.

The manufacturing stage is the phase where the collected and sorted materials are processed into new reusable products.

Recycled products are sold to consumers.

Why is recycling important?

Recycling has a lot of benefits that can help people and save the environment as well. Its importance can be observed in many different ways. Here are some great reasons why recycling is important: Recycling Saves the Earth Recycling different products will help the environment. For example, we know that paper comes from trees and many trees are being cut down just to produce paper. By recycling it, we can help lessen the number of trees that are cut down. Products made from raw materials that came from our natural resources should be recycled so that we can help preserve the environment.

Recycling Saves Energy It takes less energy to process recycled materials than to process virgin materials. For example, it takes a lot less energy to recycle paper than to create new paper from trees. The energy from transporting virgin materials from the source is also saved. Saving energy also has its own benefits like decreasing pollution. This creates less stress on own health and our economy.

Recycling Helps Mitigate Global Warming and Reduce Pollution By saving energy in industrial production through recycling, the green house gas emissions from factories and industrial plants are lessened and the use of fuels that emit harmful gasses during production is also minimized. Recycling non-biodegradable waste (rather then burning it) will contribute a lot to help reduce air pollution and greenhouse gasses that depletes the ozone layer. Recycling Reduces Waste Products in Landfills
Landfills are mostly composed of non-biodegradable waste which takes long time to decompose. By recycling, we can lessen the waste materials that are placed into landfills and we are able to make the most out of these materials. If we don’t recycle, more and more garbage will go to landfills until they all get filled up.
