6 Going Green C Read the letter. Circle the gerunds. D P Dear Editor, I am writing because I have a concern about our community and our environment. I have been living in this town for three years now. I love (living) here because most people are interested in protecting the environment. However, I have noticed that when I go shopping, most people have been using the plastic bags that the store provides. I quit using those years ago because they are damaging our planet. I can't stand seeing people who say they care about the environment using them. I recommend buying three or four canvas bags at the store and using them every time you go shopping. I advise keeping them in the car or near your front door so that you remember to take them when you go to the store. By making small changes, I think we can make a big difference to our world.

6 Going Green ☐ READING Read the article and answer the questions. Buying Locally Grown Eating organic fruits and vegetables is one way to help our planet since it does not involve spraying harmful pesticides and herbicides into the environment. However, there are many people who say that eating organic isn't enough, and that it's more important to eat locally grown fruits and vegetables. The organic produce that you find in your grocery store is often shipped halfway around the world. This means that it is both creating air pollution, and that it's a few days old by the time it gets to the store. Locally grown produce is better because it does not contribute to pollution. Also it's the freshest possible, so you get the full amount of its vitamins and nutrients. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA): One way to get locally grown produce is to become a member of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). A CSA is of a group of individual people who promise to support a farm. This way, the farmland becomes the community's farm, with both the farmers and the consumers sharing benefits and risks. Community Supported Agriculture began in the early 1960s in Europe and Japan as an answer to concerns about food safety and the urbanization of farm land. Over the last 20 years in the U.S., CSAs have become a popular way for people to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. How a CSA works: A farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. The share is usually made up of a bag of vegetables. People who are interested in becoming members buy a share before the farming season begins. Then, once the season begins, they get a box of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season (usually about 20 weeks long). This arrangement creates many advantages for the farmers and the consumers. Advantages for farmers ⚫ They get to spend time selling the food . Advantages for consumers • They get to eat the freshest produce possible. early in the year when they aren't as busy. • They get to learn about new vegetables and new ways of cooking. • They get paid early in the season, which helps with the farm's cash flow. • They have an opportunity to get to know the people who eat the food they grow. • They get to know the farmer who grows their food and learn more about how food is grown. They are contributing to the locally grown movement, thus not creating more pollution by having food shipped. 1. One problem with organic fruits and vegetables is that a. they're grown with pesticides 2. Produce probably means a. fruits and vegetables 3. CSAs began in the 1960s in a. Europe and Japan 4. A share of the farm is b. they're often shipped from far away b. farm animals and meat b. the U.S. a. vegetables that you buy at the market every week • b. a bag of vegetables that you buy before the growing season, but pick up every week 5.
