A ‘GREEN’ HOLIDAY Goa is a natural paradise which offers travellers who need a break from city life an opportunity to experience nature at its best. If you want to combine a holiday with conservation work, this is the ideal place to go to. I spent two weeks at a nature conservation centre in Goa and it was one of the best holidays I've ever been on. The conservation centre, which serves as a field station for biologists and ecologists, was set up so that they can do research and check the development of various plants and wildlife. In addition, the centre tries to make the local communities in the region aware of environmental issues. There are also volunteers at the centre who help with various conservation activities in the area. After a two-day training course, I started working with the team responsible for the conservation of sea turtles. My role was to collect data on the turtles and also to talk to people in the local community about things they can do to help protect the turtles. I spent most of my days walking up and down the beaches observing and writing down everything I noticed about the turtles. At sunset, I would eat dinner with the other team members and enjoy the beautiful scenery. In my free time, I went swimming in the sea and I also went on organised nature walks into the jungle. This was a truly amazing experience as I got to see all kinds of interesting wildlife up close. However, the best thing was visiting the waterfalls; they were simply wonderful. I also took a yoga class which was offered at the centre.

Read the text Most people are being misled by “green” labels on products they buy, according to a Consumers’ Association survey published yesterday. More than half of the 1,930 people shown a typical “environment friendly” label last

September thought it had been officially approved. There are no regulations controlling such claims. In “Which” magazine yesterday the association published evidence of bogus labelling on many household products. Excessive claims: Aerosol makers could not justify “environment friendly” labels even if they had removed the ozone damaging CFC propellant. Alternatives could still damage the atmosphere and “no manufactured product can fail to have some sort of negative impact on the environment”. Removal of mercury and cadmium from batteries could not justify a green claim when batteries could take fifty times more energy to make than they produced. Meaningless claims: Labels proclaiming bathroom cleaners to be nitrate free, could just have truthfully said: ‘no added sugar”, because none of these cleaners have ever contained nitrates. The same ploy was used for washing up liquids claiming they were phosphate free, when phosphates were found only in British washing powders. Unrealistic claims: “recyclable” labels on cardboard and plastic containers were also criticized. A glut of waste paper meant that most goes for land fill even if carefully taken to recycling points by consumers. Collection points for plastic recycling were “few and far between”. Mark the correct answer 1. What was special about the label used in the survey? a) It was officially approved. b) Nearly everyone believed it was approved. c) It broke government regulations. d) It looked official. 2. Claims for environment friendly aerosols are excessive because a) All propellants are dangerous. b) All manufactured goods damage the environment. c) They still contain the CFCs claimed to have been removed. d) They are kind to the environment. 3. Green claims for batteries are unjustifiable because a) Production is not energy efficient. b) The batteries themselves waste energy. c) Batteries are not bio degradable. d) Cadmium still remains. 4. Some label claims about the contents of household cleaning products are meaningless because a) The sugar has already been removed. b) What remained in the packet was still dangerous. c) Phosphates are only used for washing clothes. d) They have never contained the named substance. 5. Some claims were unrealistic because a) It is not possible to recycle some products. b) Paper and plastic are sometimes just buried. c) Recycling is often impractical. d) It is difficult to collect plastic. Mark the following statements as TRUE or FALSE. 6 .Most people believe in an “environment friendly “ label on products. (TRUE/FALSE) 7. “Green” labels are officially approved. (TRUE/FALSE) 8. Consumers get profit using products with “green” labels. (TRUE/FALSE) 9.None of bathroom cleaners contain nitrates. (TRUE/FALSE)

10“Recyclable” labels on cardboard and plastic containers are highly praised. (TRUE/FALSE)
