Ladies and gentelmen, I have the great honour of beeing your guide today. My name is Archibad, and I am the last living dodo. In fact, I am the ghost, because I died almost 350 years ago.
Ladies and gentelmen, I have the great honour of beeing your
guide today. My name is Archibad, and
I am the last living dodo. In fact, I am the ghost, because I died
almost 350 years ago.
I was the flightless bird endemic to the Indian Ocean island of
Mauritius. My species was first mentioned by Dutch sailors in 1598. By 1681, all dodos had
been killed by hungry sailors or their domesticated animals. In
England, they often say ‘dead as dodo’.
Today I will tell you how to protect the Earth. You can not
let species like pandas and siberian tigers die. This planet is
your home, and in the whole universe there is not better place for you. I am going to
show you project made by group of young ladies. The project calls
NO MORE DODOS
Is it possible?
The young ladies prepared a weather forecast for you. It is the weather for a day in the
future. Let’s take a look.

Turn off the lights when they are not
needed.
Use solar power.
Use energy-efficient light bulbs.
Use reusable bags and boxes instead of plastic bags.
Separate your garbage and recycle.
Walk instead of driving.

Ride a bike instead of driving.
Walk up the stairs instead of using the
elevator (it will make you healthy too).

dryer.

load.
Have a compost bin and put your organic waste in it.
Try to fix things before buying new ones.

more you use, the less everyone needs to produce.

packaging.

cleaners.

read.
Use recycled paper.
Print on both sides of the page if possible.
Use emails as much as you can to save
printing.
Pay your bills online (and choose to receive email statements) to save
tons of paper waste.
Find ways to save water in your shower, toilet, garden
and sink.
Wash your car on the grass.
When you mow your lawn, use the cuttings for
compost.
Borrow equipment from people to avoid buying something you rarely
use.
Avoid using disposable plates, cups and cutlery.
Plant trees in your yard and community.
I have for you eight sentences which you should learn by heart.
