Scene 1: Discussing the Impact of Plastic on the Environment
Anna: Hi Ben, have you ever thought about how much plastic we use every day?
Ben: Hi Anna! Yes, I have. It's really shocking. Plastic is everywhere and it’s causing a lot of harm to our environment.
Anna: Absolutely. Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose, and it’s polluting our oceans and harming wildlife.
Ben: I’ve heard that animals often mistake plastic for food, which is really sad. What can we do to help reduce plastic waste?
Scene 2: Sharing Tips on How to Reduce Plastic Use in Daily Life
Anna: There are many simple things we can do. For example, we can use reusable bags instead of plastic ones when we go shopping.
Ben: That’s a great idea. I also started using a reusable water bottle instead of buying plastic bottles.
Anna: Perfect! Another tip is to avoid single-use plastics like straws and cutlery. We can use metal or bamboo alternatives instead.
Ben: I agree. I’ve also switched to using a bamboo toothbrush. It feels good to know I’m making a small difference.
Scene 3: Talking About Alternative Materials to Plastic
Ben: Anna, do you know of any good alternatives to plastic?
Anna: Yes, there are quite a few. Glass, metal, and paper are all great alternatives. They’re much more environmentally friendly.
Ben: I’ve seen some products made from biodegradable materials too. They’re designed to break down more quickly and safely than plastic.
Anna: That’s right! And there are also items made from recycled materials. It's amazing how creative companies are getting with eco-friendly products.
