00:06
...and me, Roy.

00:08
I'm very impressed, Roy. I saw you
3
8510
2834
00:11
doing some recycling earlier!
4
11344
2465
00:13
And is that a reusable
5
13809
1531
00:15
bag?
6
15340
1340
00:16
Yes, I'm saving the world one bag
7
16680
2220
00:18
at a time! I was reading
8
18909
1653
00:20
an article about the climate
9
20562
1928
00:22
emergency that our world is facing.
10
22490
2390
00:24
Ahhh so, you found the article
11
24880
2456
00:27
I left on your desk. I thought you'd
12
27336
3000
00:30
find it interesting
13
30336
1584
00:31
and it might help you to become more
14
31920
3060
00:34
of an eco-warrior like me. I am
15
34980
3300
00:38
Super Feifei - Queen of Recycling
16
38280
2500
00:40
and you can be my helper, Roybot.
17
40780
3400
00:44
What?! You've given yourself a superhero
18
44180
3380
00:47
name and called me Roybot!
19
47560
2940
00:50
Why am I the helper?
20
50502
1938
00:52
Because you're not as cool as me - plus
21
52440
2973
00:55
someone needs to fight
22
55413
1715
00:57
this climate emergency.
23
57128
1792
00:58
Right, well if giving yourself a superhero
24
58920
3133
01:02
name encourages you to help the planet, I
25
62053
2987
01:05
support you Super Feifei! Why don't we
26
65040
2301
01:07
talk about some other ways
27
67341
1606
01:08
we can fight the climate
28
68947
1483
01:10
emergency?
29
70430
1800
01:12
Indeed we will, Roybot - right
30
72230
2350
01:14
after these examples...
31
74580
1360
01:18
We need to do more to tackle
32
78380
2120
01:20
the climate emergency.
33
80500
1320
01:23
Scientists have declared a climate
34
83240
2834
01:26
emergency in response to
35
86074
1785
01:27
the melting ice caps.
36
87860
1560
01:30
We have taken up recycling in order
37
90460
2420
01:32
to fight the climate emergency.

This is The English We Speak from BBC
39
96980
2700
01:39
Learning English and we're
40
99688
1551
01:41
talking about the expression
41
101239
1671
01:42
'climate emergency', which relates to
42
102910
2847
01:45
the environmental problems
43
105757
2043
01:47
our planet is facing.
44
107800
1650
01:49
Well, we've already talked about using
45
109450
2342
01:51
reusable bags and recycling, but
46
111792
2072
01:53
what about investing
47
113864
1256
01:55
in renewable energy sources
48
115120
1690
01:56
such as wind and solar?
49
116810
1440
01:58
Yes, I have solar panels on my roof
50
118250
3308
02:01
to power my superhero base.
51
121558
2552
02:04
Also, cutting down your meat
52
124110
2011
02:06
consumption can really help.
53
126121
2041
02:08
I am vegetarian, but just a reduction
54
128162
2698
02:10
of the amount of meat you eat can help in
55
130860
2885
02:13
the battle against the climate emergency.
56
133745
2885
02:16
And what about cycling, that's much
57
136630
2610
02:19
better instead of using cars or taxis.
58
139240
3740
02:22
I thought as a superhero you
59
142990
2130
02:25
might be able to fly.
60
145121
1599
02:26
No, I'm trying to reduce my fumes by not
61
146720
3260
02:29
flying. Cycling for me. Bye Roybot!
62
149980
4680
02:34
Bye.
