The Environment - The three Rs - Reduce

JACK RADFORD
About this episode
In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Rowan and Jack are helping Rich do the shopping for Rich's son's birthday party. They talk about what they need and what they don't need and how they can be more environmentally friendly. The language focus is on words and phrases we can use to talk about reducing our consumption. In this week's task, we want you to tell us about something that you could use less which would help the environment. Don't forget to listen to the end of the podcast because we have a new football phrase for you to guess.
