DEFORESTATION
David talks about how deforestation and the problems it causes.
Shirley. Hi, David. How are you?
Davіd. I’m fine, thank you, Shirley.
Shirley. So, environmental issues ... we were talking about them earlier throughout the world, and you’re from Kenya.
Davіd. Yes, I’m from Kenya.
Shirley. So, what’s happening over there?
David. One of the environmental issues we are having is deforestation, which is really affecting both the wild animals and people living around the forest and, you know, the environment in general.
Shirley. So, what’s actually happening to the people that... for example the people who actually live around the forest area?
David. Cause you know, when you tend to interfere and come in between the wild animal’s habitat and things like that, you somehow create like an imbalance in between the people and the animals and sometimes it’s not a really nice thing cause animals tend to come close to where people live instead of living in their own habitat, which is a really bad thing.
Shirley. So, are they like attacking people ... or?
David. They really don’t attack but it’s not a really nice picture or scene to know that you’re vulnerable at any time.
Shirley. What about livestock of the people that are close to forest areas?
David. You know, that’s one of the things that are in danger cause, you know, if wild animals come to where people live, and they have livestock, probably they’ll want to be eaten.
Shirley. So, what’s actually causing the deforestation?
David: People are trying to burn charcoal, so that they can get, they’re trying to burn the trees so that they can get charcoal and sell cause as you know everyone is not living to the living standard that they’re supposed to be living, and they’re trying in every way to earn an extra dime to support their families, so they turn to deforestation and the cutting down of trees, and this has been one of major causes of deforestation cause when you’re trying to get charcoal and sell, you have to cut a tree and that results to deforestation and other causes that come along with deforestation and like soil erosion, things like that.
Shirley. So what’s being done to try and remedy this, or to try and counterbalance the effect?
David. The activist groups that are coming together like ... you all know the Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai.
Shirley. Yes.
David. She has her own green belt movement in Kenya. She’s been for so long trying to discourage people and educate people in what deforestation does to the country and how it effects people and the environment in general.

Greenpeace is an international organization that protects the environment. In past years, they have worked to end whale hunting and nuclear testing. More recently, they have added other environmental issues to their crusade, such as global warming, nuclear power, and genetic engineering.
Greenpeace has offices in over forty countries, and has about 2.8 million supporters worldwide. The organization receives money from private donations only, never from governments or corporations. Any government or corporate money is returned. Charitable foundations may also donate money.
The organization began in the early 1970s when it wanted to stop an underground nuclear test in Alaska. The United States had planned to detonate a nuclear bomb in a wildlife refuge for sea otters, bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and other wildlife. Greenpeace sailed a boat into the testing area. Although the US removed the activists and carried out the test, a national outcry prevented additional tests. The area was later turned into a wildlife sanctuary. Similar protests were made against the French, who tested nuclear devices in the Pacific Ocean.
Greenpeace is well known for its protests around the world. Of course they also attend international conferences, meet with politicians, advertise, and educate the public, just to name a few of the ways they fight for the environment. But they are most famous for the protests which involve «direct action». Volunteers sabotage or vandalize facilities, as well as arrange demonstrations and sit-ins. These are only some examples of direct action. A less hands-on approach, such as donating money, is indirect action. With direct action, Greenpeace hopes to bring the media’s attention to a problem, who will then report it to the general public. As such, Greenpeace looks for creative ways to get on the news. One common method has been for volunteers to place their boat in front of a harpoon or whaling ship to save the whales. This creates a powerful image for TV news and newspapers. The organization refrains from any violent protests, though. Their official mission statement is: Greenpeace is an independent, campaigning organization which uses non-violent, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems, and to force solutions for a green and peaceful future. Greenpeace’s goal is to ensure the ability of the earth to nurture life in all its diversity.
Many of Greenpeace’s activities are considered illegal, either because they involve trespassing onto private property or they are acts of civil disobedience. For all the good they may have done to help save the Earth, some opponents have called the organization «environmental terrorists».
1) What is Greenpeace?
2) What does Greenpeace fight against?
3) Who donates money to the organization?
4) How did the organization start?
5) What happened to the Alaskan sanctuary?
6) How does Greenpeace bring change and protect the environment?
7) What is Greenpeace particularly noted for?
8) Can you explain «direct action?»
9) Why are Greenpeace’s activities often illegal?
10) What do Greenpeace’s opponents call the organization?

Read the text and do the task
One of the major processes that takes place in schools, of course, is that students learn. When they graduate from high school, many can use a computer, write essays with three-part theses, and differentiate equations. In addition to learning specific skills, they learn to think critically, to weigh evidence and to develop independent judgment. The extent to which this development takes place is related to both school and home environments. Teachers who are more open to new ideas and less authoritarian produce students who have greater intellectual flexibility and higher achievement test scores. Studies show that teachers are most demanding when they are of the same social class as their students. The greater the difference between their own social class and that of their pupils, the more rigidly they structure their classrooms and the fewer demands they place on their students.
