Hi everybody, welcome back to weekly words. My name is Alisha and we are going to talk
1

3399
00:08
about holiday today. So let’s get into it.
2

00:11
Today’s holiday is Earth Day.
3

00:13
Earth Day is celebrated on April 22nd every year and the purpose of Earth Day is to be
4
13419
5571
00:18
aware of earth, to be aware of the environment and to take some time just to appreciate the
5
18990
5490
00:24
nature around us. In a sentence, are there any Earth Day celebrations in your community
6
24480
5750
00:30
this year? Green, green of course is a color but it’s also commonly used to talk about
7
30230
5150
00:35
policies or maybe products that are earth friendly. So for example, my company has green
8
35380
6800
00:42
policies regarding paper use.
9
42180
2180
00:44
The next word is Organic. I feel like there’s just been this boom in organic products and
10
44360
5010
00:49
organic foods in particular. So organic can refer to – at least in my mind, organic
11
49370
4820
00:54
refers to food products that are made without using any chemicals but it seems that there
12
54190
4180
00:58
are some pesticides or some chemicals that can be used in organic farming to keep bugs
13
58370
6700
01:05
and other not so good creatures off the food. So there might be different laws in your country
14
65070
5270
01:10
for defining organic or just not organic products but it’s kind of become a buzz word in the
15
70340
5830
01:16
last maybe like 10 or 15 years or so. I think many people have the image that organic foods
16
76170
4579
01:20
are not healthier for you or it’s you know better for the earth. So this might be a word
17
80749
4031
01:24
that you see a lot around Earth Day celebrations, organic foods or organic products. In a sentence,
18
84780
6180
01:30
I tried to buy only organic food because I feel that it’s better for my body.
19

Next is endangered species. An endangered species is an animal or plant I suppose or
20
94819
6711
01:41
any type of living organism that is in danger of going extinct, in danger of dying out.
21
101530
5649
01:47
So for example, dinosaurs are extinct. They are no longer on the earth. Any species of
22
107179
6180
01:53
creature that is in danger of becoming extinct is referred to as an endangered species. So
23
113359
5010
01:58
I think for example there are some tigers that are endangered species, Rhinoceros that
24
118369
5121
02:03
are endangered species and a few others. I am sure there are a lot of others actually.
25
123490
4129
02:07
So on Earth Day, people might discuss endangered species and how we can work to ensure that
26
127619
4211
02:11
they don’t become extinct. It’s important that we be conscious of endangered species
27
131830
4490
02:16
around the world. Okay so in an example sentence, pandas are an endangered species.
28
136320
4760
02:21
The next word, next phrase is global warming. Global warming in recent years, this term
29
141080
5280
02:26
is kind of changed over to Global climate change as well. Anyway global warming just
30
146360
4720
02:31
refers to the changes that are occurring on earth and how the earth is gradually becoming
31
151080
4610
02:35
warmer year after year. In a sentence, global warming is a problem that affects us all.
32
155690
4920
02:40
And that’s the end of Earth Day, Earth Day vocabulary and Earth Day words. If you have
33
160610
4330
02:44
an Earth Day celebration in your community, maybe you will see some of these words or
34
164940
3230
02:48
