If

you

were

to

choose,

what

would

be

your

favorite

energy

source?

Susan:

Well,

I

would

choose

wind

energy.

Daniel:

But

there

have

been

concerns

relating

to

the

impacts

of

wind

farms.

Susan:

I

know

what

you

mean.

There

has

been

some

opposition

to

the

construction

of

wind

farms.

Daniel:

Yes,

there

are

concerns

that

some

wind

farmscan

negatively

affect

TV

and

radio

reception,as

well

as

producing

excessive

noiseleading

to

a

decrease

in

property

values.

And

thereareconcerns

that

wind

farms

are

a

threat

to

birds.

NextpageSusan:

Yes,

but

that’s

only

part

of

the

story.

In

fact,

residents

in

someareas

have

been

more

positive

and

there

are

many

examples

of

community

wind

farm

developments.

For

example,

an

overwhelming

majority

of

local

people

believe

that

the

Ardrossan

Wind

Farm

in

Scotland

has

enhanced

the

area.

Daniel:

That’s

encouraging.

Susan:

Yes.

Community

concerns

regarding

wind

power

projects

are

based

more

on

people’s

perception

rather

than

actual

fact.

In

tourist

areas,

for

example,

peopleoftenthinkthat

wind

farms

will

negatively

affect

tourism.

Yet

surveys

conducted

in

tourist

areas

in

Germany

and

Scotland

show

that

this

is

simply

not

the

case.

Daniel:

Then

what’s

the

problem

in

developing

wind

power?

NextpageSCRIPTSusan:

The

problem

is

that

the

general

public

often

does

not

have

ready

access

totheinformation

necessary

to

assess

the

pros

and

cons

of

wind

power

development.

If

the

wind

farms

are

properly

planned

and

sited,

the

public

attitude

generally

alters

after

the

wind

projects

become

operational.

In

Europe

and

many

other

countries

there

has

been

strong

public

support

for

wind

power.

Daniel:

This

is

good

news.

Hello,

Rob.

Youlovegoodfood,

don’t

you?

Rob:

Yes,

I

do.

I

have

always

had

a

taste

for

nice

food.

Cathy:

But

how

much

of

it

do

you

actually

throw

away?

Rob:

Probably

too

much

although

I’m

trying

to

get

better

at

that.

Cathy:

I’m

asking

you

this

because

many

people

around

the

world

throw

away

food

that’s

still

good

enough

to

eat

this

food

waste

could

feed

millions

of

people.

Rob:

Yes,

food

waste

is

a

big

problem.

NextpageSCRIPTCathy:

You

know

what,

according

to

aUnited

Nations’

report,

around

30percent

of

food

is

actually

wasted

around

the

world.

In

Europe,

people

throw

awayabout100

million

tons

of

food

every

year.

Food

waste

is

also

a

huge

issue

in

America

–around40percentof

all

food

goes

uneaten.

Rob:

Wow,

such

a

big

waste.

In

many

other

parts

of

the

world

people

struggle

to

buy

food.

Cathy:

A

report

by

the

United

Nationshasfound

that

there

is

in

fact

enough

food

for

everyone,

butthereisjust

too

much

waste.

Rob:

Many

people

tend

to

buy

more

food

than

they

needbecauseoftheconvenienceandchoicethatsupermarketsoffer.

But

a

lot

of

food

is

stored

in

fridges

and

then

thrown

out

long

before

it

reaches

the

end

of

its

shelf

life.

NextpageSCRIPTCathy:

Yes.

Sometimes

we

may

throw

away

some

fruits

and

vegetables

just

because

of

their

shape

and

size.

And

that’s

our

fault

really,

because

we

often

think

food

that

looks

good

is

of

better

quality.Rob:

So

what

can

be

done?

Cathy:

Well,

things

are

being

done.

Apps

and

websites

that

distribute

excess

food

are

becoming

more

popular.

Charitable

organizations

are

being

set

up

forpeopletodonate

Thefoodisthen

distributed

to

those

who

can

get
