You are a member of Greenpeace https://www.greenpeace.org/international/ and your local Landjugend Organisation. Your friends want to improve their English - so you organise a weekly evening about several topics. This week you want to present the topic planned obsolescence. In your kick-off speech you are going to address the following issues:

• Describe how planned obsolescence works and why the economy seems to need it
• Outline how we can can teach people in our throw-away society to think in a more sustainable way
• What we can do to make people aware of this topic

Dialogue

After your presentation you talk to a visitor of the summit. In your conversation you talk about the following topics:

• why to buy sustainable products
• why it is better to buy local products – where you know where it comes from -  than products from far away
• why should your friends also become a member of Greenpeace?
