Section 2

M :

I did some research/on alternative foods. I found/they are related to environmental issues.

T :

Can you tell me more about that?

M :

I learned about meat production. It consumes a lot of resources.

T :

What resources?

M :

First,/meat production uses 80%/of the farmland on the earth. It also uses 30%/of the earth’s fresh water. Moreover,/it accounts for 14%/of all greenhouse gas emissions.

T :

Oh,/I didn’t know that. That’s not good.

M :

Right. So,/some people try to eat less meat. Instead,/they use plant-based meat/for a variety of dishes. This choice greatly reduces the use/of the farmland and water,/and greenhouse gas emissions.

T :

I see. It is necessary for us/to take action now.
