M: Kate, we've been waiting for you!

W: Sorry, I’m later for dinner, Dad. I was looking at the website for a great organization called Living Green.

M: Living Green? What does that mean? I don’t even like that color.

W: It means taking great responsibility for protecting the earth. We had a guest speaker today in the science class, and he talked about some simple ways to reduce our energy use and protect the earth.

M: Like what?

W: OK, well, first of all, he said we should cut down on driving. So we’d better walk, ride a bicycle, or take a public transportation, like buses and subways.

M: I would do those things if I could.

W: Another idea was to turn off unnecessary lights. Look at this house—lights on in every room! He also advised us to wash our clothes in cold water.

M: Cool! I never realized how simple it could be to... What did you call it? Living Green?

W: Yeah! The speaker said I that if everyone did even one of these things every day, it would do a lot to reduce the earth warming.

M: I agree. That will also save money on the electric bill.
