Hello and welcome to the English we speak with me, Faye.

And me, Roy. I'm very impressed Roy. I saw you doing some recycling earlier and is that a

I was reading an article about the climate emergency

that our world is facing.

of the amount of meat you eat can help in the battle against the climate emergency.
