THE USA GOES GREEN

In February 2007, the film An Inconvenient Truth won the Academy Award (Oscar) for the best documentary.The film stars Al Gore, the Vice Presidents of the USA from 1993 to 2001. In the film, Gore tries to convince Americans to take action aganist global warming, and he discusses what will happen in the future if the situation continues.

What are the consequences of global warming?Accordins to Gore, the ice-caps in the North and South poles will continue to melt.This will make the level of the sea rise and low-lying cities will flood.Millions of people will need to move to safer areas.There will be more hurricanes like Katrina, the hurricane that destroyed the city of New Orleans in 2005.

However, the United States governament isn't doing much to help the situation. In 2001,37 countries around thw world signed the Kyoto Treaty.These countries promised to reduce carbon emissions - gases that cause global warming.
The USA did not sign the traty even though the USA produces about 25% of the world's pollutants. Many Americans are tryi ng to make the public more aware of evironmental issues. Evironmental groups are putting pressure on their government to change its policies.But time is running out.According to An Inconvenient Truth and Gore, Americans have got ten years to make changes - after that it will be too late.

Nutrients

THE NUTRIENTS WE NEED


When our body digests food, the nutrients go to all parts of the body. These nutrients are proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, fats and water.
Every type of food contains different nutrients, so it’s important to eat a healthy and varied diet.


Proteins help us grow and repair our body. We find them in meat, fish, milk, eggs and legumes.


Carbohydrates include starches and sugar and give us energy. They are found in bread, potatoes and rice.


Vitamins and minerals in vegetables and fruit help us to grow and keep our body healthy because they protect us from many illnesses.


Fats give us energy. There are two types of fat: animal fats in eggs, butter, fish and meat, and vegetable fats in olives and nuts.


Water is also essential for our body because blood is mostly water. Water dissolves the nutrients and takes them to all parts of our body. Although humans can survive for an extended period without food, we can only survive for about three days without water.
