Enjoy Earth Day 2014

Before watching the video, debate briefly with your peers:
 

What´s a "selfie"?

Is Earth Day important in your community / city ? Why?

Watch the video and discuss:

•  Is the message of the video presentation optimistic or pessimistic? What elements in the presentation give you that idea?
•  The narrator talks about cities mainly; why is that so in our opinion?
•  The narrator talks about two possible futures; can you describe them?

Watch the video again, find out when these terms appear and think of synonym expressions:

we need to stand up for the future

outdated

here´s the thing

rely on

within our grasp

After watching:

• Consider the pros and / or cons of having Earth Day in our calendars.
• Are there any initiatives in your city to foster a cleaner, more sustainable future? What would be good ideas in this sense?
