Read the article below and answer these questions.

(26) Which company was founded on recycling junk? LOST AND FOUND

(27) Which word drives the prices up in the tour industry? GREEN HOLIDAY

(28) Why is it difficult to find a genuine green holiday? BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE INTERNATIONAL ECO-STANDART

(29) What is the main advantage of shopping at The Natural Store? ONLINE DEPARTMENT STORE

(30) According to the text, why should people buy eco-friendly products? THE RESULT IS A CLEANER PLANET
Being green has never been easier. In the past, if you wanted to buy things that were environmentally friendly it could be really difficult. You would often spend hours going from one shop to another, which, if you used your car, would make the whole exercise pointless. But, now thanks to the internet and an increased awareness that buying green doesn’t mean having to spend a fortune, it’s much easier to ‘eco-shop’.

Companies like Lost and Found in London are leading the way when it comes to recycling our junk. Set up by Becky Oldfield, the company specializes in making furniture and covers. One of the key things that Lost and Found do is to source their materials locally. Becky will go round to local companies and get whatever they are throwing away and use these things in her products.

Meanwhile, Electra Gillies has set up her own eco-tourism company. She used to work as a journalist for a national newspaper and realized that there was a demand for ‘green holidays’. To ensure that her holidays really are green she goes out and visits every place she advertises. Unfortunately, this is necessary as there is no international eco-standard and companies often realize that if they use the word ‘green’ they can charge more for the same thing. One of the best things as far as Electra is concerned is that most of the places she has chosen use renewable energy, employ local staff and therefore re-invest in the local economy.

Finally, Rachel Rogers has started her own online department store, thenaturalstore.co.uk. The idea for The Natural Store came from the fact that Rachel was frustrated by having to shop at lots of different places to buy what she wanted. She thought that it would be good to start a shop where you could buy Fairtrade products, organic food, environmentally friendly cosmetics and ethical clothing all in one place. Although things cost a bit more it is worth it because the result is a cleaner planet.

So, the next time you are thinking about the environment and you’d actually like to do something positive, check out the options that are available. You’ll be surprised just how easy it is to be green.
