Unit 2 Let's Recycle!

M: Hi, Jane!

Have you heard about the new laws to help people recycle? W: I heard about them on the news last night.

I don't think I like them. M: The government wants to keep the environment clean by recycling paper, metal, and glass instead of throwing these things away.

W: But who wants to pay an extra 50 cents each time you buy a cup of coffee?

That's a lot of money! M: 50 cents?

It's only five cents extra for a paper cup. W: I thought it was 50 cents!

M: No, it's only five cents. Don't worry. And you can get your money back when you return the cup. W: That's fair.

Well, maybe the government is right, after all. I'll return all the paper coffee cups I use from now on. M: Good!

We all need to recycle. It helps to keep the environment clean.
