A. An environmentalist is someone who works to protect the environment: the air, land, and oceans of the Earth. Read the article below.
At a recent meeting of environmentalists, the problem of cars was discussed. Most environmentalists believe that in the future, there will be no more oil. This means that there will be no more gasoline for the cars that so many of us drive every day.
The environmentalists agreed that cars have made our lives much easier and more comfortable. But they believe that it is very important for the people who are working on machines to try and build new ones that will not require gasoline.
“We have always been good at using science to create new machines,” said one environmentalist. “This is very important. Our ability to build and create new forms of transportation will help us face a future without gasoline.”
The environmentalists also discussed the importance of working with businesses to help them prepare for the future. “A world without gasoline means a world with fewer cars,” added one man. “And this is good because it means less pollution. Maybe companies could find a way to pay extra money to workers who take buses or ride bicycles to work.”
Most of the people at the meeting described their deep love for the Earth and their desire to keep it clean. They want to power cars by using solar or electric power. Both of these create less pollution than gasoline, and they will continue to be usable in the future.
B. Work with a partner. Ask the environmentalist as many questions as you can.
