VGC – Environment – 6

Read the passage and answer the questions below:

Environmental degradation is a growing problem caused by human activities such as deforestation and pollution, which harm ecosystems and accelerate climate change. The loss of forests reduces biodiversity and eliminates natural carbon sinks, worsening the global environmental crisis. A circular economy offers a sustainable solution by encouraging businesses and individuals to focus on recycling, reusing materials, and minimizing waste. This approach not only conserves valuable resources but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions by limiting the extraction of raw materials and the production of waste. By adopting circular economy principles, companies will not only reduce their environmental impact but also create opportunities for innovation and sustainable growth. Governments and consumers also play a key role by supporting policies and practices that prioritize sustainability, further accelerating the shift towards a greener economy.

Write a short paragraph about a country that successfully created a circular economy to combat environmental degradation and what other countries can learn from it. You can make it up if you don’t know of any. The point is to make it convincing. Use the Future Continuous Tense at least once.
