We Speak with me, Feifei...

...and me, Roy.

I'm very impressed, Roy. I saw you

doing some recycling earlier!

And is that a reusable

bag?

Yes, I'm saving the world one bag

at a time! I was reading

an article about the climate

emergency that our world is facing.

Ahhh so, you found the article

I left on your desk. I thought you'd

find it interesting

and it might help you to become more

of an eco-warrior like me. I am

Super Feifei - Queen of Recycling

and you can be my helper, Roybot.

What?! You've given yourself a superhero

name and called me Roybot!

Why am I the helper?

Because you're not as cool as me - plus

someone needs to fight

this climate emergency.

Right, well if giving yourself a superhero

name encourages you to help the planet, I

support you Super Feifei! Why don't we

talk about some other ways

we can fight the climate

emergency?

Indeed we will, Roybot - right

after these examples...

We need to do more to tackle

the climate emergency.

Scientists have declared a climate

emergency in response to

the melting ice caps.

We have taken up recycling in order

to fight the climate emergency.

This is The English We Speak from BBC

Learning English and we're

talking about the expression

'climate emergency', which relates to

the environmental problems

our planet is facing.

Well, we've already talked about using

reusable bags and recycling, but

what about investing

in renewable energy sources

such as wind and solar?

Yes, I have solar panels on my roof

to power my superhero base.

Also, cutting down your meat

consumption can really help.

I am vegetarian, but just a reduction

of the amount of meat you eat can help in

the battle against the climate emergency.

And what about cycling, that's much

better instead of using cars or taxis.

I thought as a superhero you

might be able to fly.

No, I'm trying to reduce my fumes by not

flying. Cycling for me. Bye Roybot!

Bye.
