INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY
DESCRIBE AN INFLUENTIAL PERSON IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ABOUT GRETA THUNBERG'S INTERVIEW
Carlos is a street dweller who is 40 years old. He has recycled throughout the town
of Chapinero for 30 years, since then he goes out to the streets very early every day to
recycle plastic bags, cardboard, plastic bottles, lids, paper, metal, glass, among others. He is
very committed and responsible when it comes to his work. He has been in charge of
collecting and classifying the materials that others discarded to finally take them to the
sector's recycling centers where they are classified, packed and compacted for later sale. He
became an example to follow for all the inhabitants of the area because he constantly helps
reduce garbage in the streets, reduce pollution in sanitary and environmental landfills and
also tries to encourage the population to take as a daily habit and commitment to recycle
every day in order to reduce each impact of pollution on the streets of the town and prevent
global warming, therefore the useful life of said materials is prolonged and thus we achieve
economic growth.

QUESTIONS
1. Why did Greta Thunberg start to be concerned about climate change?
When she was between 8 and 9 years old, the teachers at school taught her about climate
change and the impact that human beings have on it. The teacher showed them photos and
films where they could see the serious impact of climate change and its threat existential.
For this reason, she felt very worried and scared about this environmental crisis, therefore
she began to investigate further through films, articles and films and discovered that the
planet was seriously affected and that if we did not start to act quickly it could affect in the
future. Thanks to the fact that she has encouraged the importance of each person
contributing to the care of environmental change and not affecting it negatively, the
environment has been improving over time and more people, including children and adults,
are becoming aware of the climate crisis. that can happen or get worse if we don't make the
change now. She became the best climate change campaign manager in the United States.
2. What have her parents changed to support her ideas?
Her parents didn't really agree with her trying to do something about climate change, they
told her that there was nothing she could do to change it. She felt more support at school
than from the parents themselves. She began to make the children aware of the importance
of contributing their grain of sand regarding the effects of climate change. She showed
them videos and articles more and more until they managed to change her position. After
time they became vegan, they became more interested in the threat we received from
climate change, the importance of each of us contributing in time and then they began to
support him in the change he wanted to make regarding the environmental crisis.
3. Have you noticed any change in the environment of your region? Mention some of them.
As for Colombia, we are in a serious environmental situation, climate change is fatally
affecting the planet, for example “el fenomeno del niño” is what is affecting the most at the
moment, high levels of temperature are occurring that are causing the lakes to dry up
generating drought, another is environmental pollution due to the use of cars, buses, trucks,
this strongly impacts the ozone layer and each time the air we breathe is more contaminated
and this is thanks to the fact that we do nothing to change it, this is why we must make
people aware of the serious damage we are causing and where we do not start acting now,
in the future we will suffer the consequences on the planet and it may even become
uninhabitable.
