Green living refers to adopting a lifestyle that reduces an individual's or community's negative
impact on the environment. This concept includes practices such as conserving natural resources, using
renewable energy, reducing waste, and choosing eco-friendly products. The primary goal of green living
is to create a balance between human activities and nature, ensuring that the planet remains habitable for
future generations.
One of the major benefits of green living is the reduction in environmental pollution. By using
renewable energy sources like solar or wind power, people can significantly lower greenhouse gas
emissions, which contribute to global warming. Additionally, sustainable transportation methods, such
as biking or using electric vehicles, help reduce air pollution and traffic congestion.
Green living also has direct health benefits. Choosing organic foods and avoiding products with
harmful chemicals can improve overall well-being. Moreover, by reducing waste and using non-toxic
materials, people can create healthier living environments, free from allergens and harmful substances.
Furthermore, sustainable practices can help save money in the long run. For instance, energy-efficient
appliances lower electricity bills, and water-saving methods reduce water costs.
Ultimately, adopting green living not only benefits individuals but also plays a vital role in
preserving the environment for future generations. It promotes a healthier planet, healthier people, and a
more sustainable way of life.

correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 32.
Urbanisation in Europe has been a significant trend for the past century. It refers to the increasing
number of people living in cities and towns, and it has had profound effects on both the environment and
society. By the 20th century, rapid industrialisation and improvements in agriculture led to a surge in
urban populations. People moved from rural areas to cities in search of better job opportunities,
education, and healthcare.
3 | M Đ - 1 3
One of the main reasons for urbanisation in Europe is economic development. Cities often
provide more employment options, with industries and businesses thriving in urban areas. This has
attracted many people from rural areas, leading to the growth of cities like London, Paris, and Berlin.
However, urbanisation also brings challenges. Overcrowding in cities has led to increased
pressure on infrastructure, including transportation, housing, and healthcare services. Pollution is another
significant one. As cities grow, the demand for energy and resources increases, contributing to
environmental degradation. Many European cities are now facing the task of making urban spaces more
sustainable, focusing on eco-friendly public transport, green spaces, and energy-efficient buildings.
In addition to these issues, urbanisation in Europe has also led to cultural changes. As people
from different backgrounds move to cities, there is a blending of cultures, which enriches the social
fabric but can also lead to tensions.
In conclusion, while urbanisation in Europe has brought economic growth and improved living standards
for many, it has also created environmental and social challenges that need to be addressed for a sustainable
future.

A. Economic development in the Europe. B. Urbanisation in the Europe.
