JP – Hello!

PP – Hey guys! Long time no see! How are you?

PS – I’m fine.

JP – Me too. What about you?

PP – Great as always. So, what have you guys been up to in these past months?

JP – You know. Finishing the school year and studying for the exams. Thank God they are over now. Haven’t done anything for the past week. Just resting!

PS – As for me, I’ve been mostly just watching TV. I was lucky enough to watch some really interesting documentaries about saving Planet Earth.

PP – That’s nice. Do you guys remember the lake we used to go to a lot when we were younger?

PS – Of course! Oh, those warm summer afternoons. Good times…

JP – Indeed they were. I miss them a lot.

PP – You know what? We could all go there and catch up! It’s been some months since the three of us have been together. What about going this weekend?

PS – Fine by me. I’ve got nothing to do.

JP – What? Really? Didn’t you hear about what has been happening there these last years?

PP – No.

PS – Neither have I.

JP – Really? Since they built the factory there, the water has become hugely contaminated with all the toxic chemical waste.

PP – Those cursed factories! Destroying such a beautiful lake with all that waste.

PS – Well to be fair and honest you can’t just blame the factories. Industrial waste is one of the many kinds of toxic waste. Take those huge animal farms for an example. Do you have any idea how much waste they produce?

PP – Yes. As you may know, I’m a vegetarian. I became one to protect the environment, but also to reduce the waste of food resources, since growing crops can feed more people than killing animals.

JP – You could always talk about the agriculture. Nowadays lots of fertilizers and pesticides are used to keep the plants alive and to make them grow faster. Some of them are toxic to other beings.

PP – Yeah sure but most of them come from industry
