THE USA GOES GREEN

In February 2007, the film An Inconvenient Truth won the Academy Award (Oscar) for the best documentary. The film starts Al Gore, the Vice President of the USA from 1993 to 2001.
In the film, Gore tries to convince Americans to take action against global warming, and he discusses what will happen in the future if the situation continues.

What are the consequences of global warming?
According to Gore, the ice-caps in the North and South poles will continue to melt. This will make the level of the sea rise and low-lying cities will food.
Millions of people will need to move to safer areas. There will be more hurricanes like Katrina, the hurricane that destroyd the city of New Orleans in 2005.

However, the United States govermment isn't doing much to help the situation.
In 2001,37 countries around the woels signed the Kyoto Treaty. These countries promised to reduce carbon emissions- gases that cause global warming. The USA did not sig the treaty even trough the USA produces about 25% of the world's pollutants. Many Americans are trying to make the public more aware of environmental issues. Environmental groups are putting pressure on their government to change its policies. But time is running out. According to An Inconvenient Truth Gore, Americans have got ten years to make changes- after that it will be too late

THE NUTRIENTS WE NEED

THE NUTRIENTS WE NEED


When our body digests food, the nutrients go to all parts of the body. These nutriens are proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals fats and water.

Every type of food contains different nutrients, so it's important to eat a healthy and varied diet.

Proteins help us grow and repair our body. We find them in meat, fish, milk, eggs and legumes.

Carbohydrates include starches and sugar and give us energy. They are found in bread, potatoes and rice.

Vitamins and minerals in vegetables and friut help us to grow and keep our body healthy because they product us from many illnesses.

Fats give us energy. There are two type of fat: animal fats in eggs, fish and meat, and vegetable fats in olives and nuts.

Water is also essential for our body because blood is mostly water. Water dissolves the nutrients and takes them to all parts of our body. Althoug humans can survive for an extended period without food, we can only survive for about three days without water.
