PART 2: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet

Green living is an easy way to directly reduce your carbon footprint and overall global
emissions. By implementing simple habits like reducing your use of plastic or electricity
consumption, you immediately make a difference in pollution – even if you can’t see it.
Green living can also help reduce your energy costs. For instance, when you opt for solar-
powered energy instead of electricity – it offsets both the use of your electricity, and your bills at
the same time!
Green living will indirectly improve your diet and overall health, as it will increase your
consumption of fruits and vegetables. The vitamins and nutrients in fruits and vegetables allow
our bodies to maintain our overall health and vital functioning. In a world where fast food has
become the norm, most do not consume the amount of fruits and vegetables that they should –
and green living can help to encourage better eating habits while also saving the planet.
Green living can create a domino effect. If one person sees how well you’re doing thanks
to green living, then they will be inspired to do the same. The fight against climate change is a
collective battle, and if we can slowly create change and encourage more sustainable habits – we
can strive for a colossal impact and drastically reduce the negative effects of global warming.
Overall, implementing green living is one of the best ways to promote environmental
conservation.
