Environmental protection

Go to this online magazine for young people to find tips for environmental protection in everyday life. Content-wise , the text is accessible; however, since it is written in an informal style, it might contain expressions that you do not know. Some of them you'll be able to guess from the context. It might be a good exercise in class to try to find synonyms for colloquial words like Grünzeug.
