IX Read the following text and answer the questions.
It is a common belief that adults are responsible for ‘big issues’ such as environmental protection and conservation, and youths can do nothing but focus on their studies or have fun However, the stories of the young people in the Young Voices for the Planet show that even at a young age, people are able to do something for their communities and can really contribute to the care and preservation of the environment Kids can also do things to make
a difference, given the chance And though their skills and talents may vary, they can use their unique gifts to help to preserve the environment and save the world One of the children in the stories, Olivia, says:
‘Every one of us has a great gift we can use to help the earth Everyone, at any age, can do something, whether it is picking up rubbish along the side of the road, filling a bird feeder,
or bringing reusable bags to the grocery store For me, I used my artwork Find your cause and use your talents The quality of our world is counting on you.’
It is remarkable that someone as young as Olivia can understand so well the connection between society, the environment, and the problems we are facing today It has been proved that every small act of kindness we show can make a great impact on the world around us For some people, environmental protection and conservation means stopping the growth and development of technology and society But this is a popular belief that is not true Protecting the environment isn't about stopping progress It's about changing our consumption habits and taking care of the environment Just by doing simple things, every one of us including the youths can do their share in making this world a better place to live
