V. Read the description of life on Rania Island. Then work in pairs to answer the questions about

Rania Island Trading Game
There isn’t any money on Rania Island, so you will need to swap with the other villages to get the things 
that you need. There are three villages on the island.
Flader
You live here. Your people are farmers. You have cows, hens, vegetables, and seeds, which you can 
swap, but it is difficult to take them a long distance. To survive this year, your people will need tools to 
work with, firewood for cooking, and salt for the animals.
Aster
Aster is near Flader, in the forest. The people cut down trees, and make tools, but they don’t have any 
land to keep animals or grow food. They have wood and tools, which they can swap. To survive this 
year, the people will need food to eat and metal to make the tools.
Megister
Megister is far away in the mountains, a dangerous journey from Flader. They don’t have much land to 
grow their own food, but it’s the only place on the island where you can get salt and metal. The people 
are very smart, but they are not very friendly and it isn’t easy to exchange things with them.

The ‘No Impact’ Family
Can you imagine life with no TV? What about no toilet paper?
In the Beavan family’s New York apartment, there isn’t a TV, a washing machine, a dishwasher or a 
fridge and they’re only using one electric light bulb. In the bathroom, there aren’t any shampoo bottles, 
rolls of toilet paper or tubes of toothpaste. 1 _______________ They make them or use alternatives.
Some people think that they’re crazy, but Colin Beavan explains that it’s just an experiment. 2 
_______________ The Beavans has been living like this for a year because they want to reduce their 
impact on the environment. At the end of the year, they’ll decide what they really need and what they 
can live without.
They’re trying to create less rubbish and use less electricity and fuel. The family doesn’t travel by car or 
fly. 3 _______________ They buy second-hand things for the apartment, and they buy food at a market, 
where they can avoid plastic bags, packets, and boxes. They carry the food in a basket, not a plastic 
shopping bag. They don’t buy any food which comes from more than 400 kilometres away.
The Beavans also avoid takeaway food which wastes a lot of containers. 4 _______________ In the 
places where Colin has coffee, they give it to him in his jar instead of a disposable plastic cup. They 
make their own yoghurt, so they don’t throw a lot of plastic pots away.
Colin says that the experiment is interesting, but it isn’t always easy. He isn’t trying to change other 
people’s lifestyles, but he hopes that people who read his blog or book will think about how much they 
use and waste.

 Proud of their dustbin!
The dustbin is full to the top with crisp packets and coloured plastic. In fact, it’s so full that it’s difficult 
to put the lid on. But the Strauss family, who owns this dirty, old dustbin full of rubbish, are very proud 
of it. Why? Because it contains all the family’s rubbish for a whole year.
Two years ago, Richard and Rachelle Strauss and their daughter Verona read an article about plastic 
bags and how they cause pollution and harm sea creatures. They decided to stop using plastic bags 
completely. Now, when they buy food, they reuse their own bags each time. They recycle as much as 
they can - glass bottles, plastic bottles, paper, cardboard, cans - and they simply don’t buy things if they 
can’t recycle the packaging. (They buy their toothpaste in aluminium tubes just because aluminium can 
be recycled.) And they never throw food away - they eat their leftovers or use them to make compost.
At the moment, it’s impossible to recycle plastic crisp packets and sweet wrappers - and Verona loves 
crisps. If she bought a packet of crisps a day, she’d have to throw away lots of plastic. So she buys the 
biggest packets she can find - and each packet lasts for a week.
The family are keeping a record of their lifestyle on their website. They hope that other people will read 
it and reduce their waste. If everyone recycles a bit more, it will make a huge difference.

 How Green is Your Shopping Bag?
Every year, $200-300 billion is spent by around 30 million teenagers in the US. That’s a lot of money. 
Almost everything we buy affects the environment, from the energy that is used to make it, to what 
happens when it’s thrown away.
What kind of shopper are you? We interviewed Leo, 15, and analysed his answers.
A Are you a ‘big spender’? What do you buy?
Leo: I think I’m about average. I spend nearly half my money on clothes. For example, 
 yesterday I bought two cotton sweatshirts, although one was a mistake - it’s bright pink, and 
 I’m not sure I’m brave enough to wear it. I also download a lot of apps, music and games - I 
 love gaming. I don’t really save money. I know I should, but it’s hard.
