1. Answer this question. Write 5 examples using the zero or first conditional to answer this question.

What will happen if we do not change our habits with the environment?

2. Read the following text and translate into Spanish.

Scientists all around the world have warned about the terrible

consequences for our survival if we do not start changing the way

we use natural resources.

 If population growth continues this fast, there will not be enough food for everybody in the future.

b. If we have high CO2 concentration levels, the sun’s heat does not go back into space and stays on the planet.

c. If the sun’s heat stays, it produces a greenhouse effect and global warming.

d. If humans destroy ecosystems, many species lose their homes forever. Now, two in five amphibian species are at risk of extinction.

e. If farmers do not stop using toxic chemicals on crops, many pollinator insects will disappear. In some regions, one in ten insect species are in danger of extinction.

f. If we do not reduce plastic use, our oceans will have more plastic items in them than animals.

g. If the temperature of the planet increases, ice from the poles will melt and disappear.

h. If the temperature of the planet increases, ice from the poles will melt and disappear.

i. If we start doing something now, we will avoid a sad future.

Reese, 2009; Watts, 2019

f. If we do not reduce plastic use, our oceans will have more plastic items in them than animals.

g. If the temperature of the planet increases, ice from the poles will melt and disappear.

h. If the temperature of the planet increases, ice from the poles will melt and disappear.

i. If we start doing something now, we will avoid a sad future.

FOR EXAMPLE:

1. If the temperature of the planet increases, ice from the poles will melt and disappear.

- I think that a possible solution for this environment consequence will be close the big factories around the world and create more ecological transportation to  avoid damage with our planet.
