- The richest 1% of people create the same amount of carbon as the poorest two-thirds in the world. That's according to data published in a new report by the charity, Oxfam. It found that the lifestyles of the wealthy, such as taking frequent flights and eating out in restaurants, are closely connected to climate change. Oxfam's chief called for world leaders to “end the era of extreme wealth.”

Plundering is quite a problem in many parts of the world, and tourists need to be more cautious when they walk around the tourist attractions.

You are my favorite teachers!!

We could say affluent meaning very rich as well. There are abundant words in English :)
How about the fact that there are too many people?
❤❤❤❤
I need to clean my act
Don't forget the 'up'! You can say 'I need to clean UP my act' or 'I need to clean my act UP'. Thanks for commenting 😀
You are so adorable Beth 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😊Is there anyone from Uzbekistan?

We might need to move to Mars.

The culprit told us that he had plundered everything but the jewellery box.
The first one that come to my mind 'LEO'
You need to clean up your act
Very nice
🥀🥀🥀
nick as a verb also means '' to get caught by the legal authorities such as police''.
Thanks BBC.. It is necessary to clean up our acts when you desire to apply for a good university! Well- off people should help humanity to come up with plans to save the world and reduce plundering actions
Ok
It seems like Beth feels under the weather.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
When u said "POOREST" why did u show the picture of Indian farmer??
As the world well of persons are barely think about planet whatever it's condition,they can't clean up their act at all.
If you want to become a well-off person, you better clean up your acts and have an elaborate financial plan.
There is someone who moves earth and heaven to achieve everything in some terrifying ways, such as plundering and stealing others' properties. They'd better clean up their acts before thinking about an ample life.
My husband’s best friend and his wife belong to the one percent and they fly to Europe for fun a few times a year. Just recently they went to Paris to join a food tour which sounded luxurious.
I think well-off people should clean up their acts rather than plundering environment resources.
Thank you bbc
steal＝nick
what about Tom, James and Robert?
The richest 1% includes many businessmen. Owing to them, we can live a comfortable life. Things like taking an airplane, eating at a restaurant and so on are parts of their business. Then I cannot blame the richest 1%.
My uncle has 2 restaraunts and 3 cafes in the city center and i think he is well-of
Well-off, not well-of
@@toca_life_world2024 thanks for correcting me
Last weekend i and my friends were gathered to the local restaurant for celebrating new car of my friend that bought it before the dinner had been reached us i suddunly drop the glass and my friend said to me CLEAN UP YOUR ACTS which was shame for that
it was goog
Recapping it in an upside-down way, thanks to an anecdote, and of course a bit adjusted for the key words. I was having my daily coffee at my daily restaurant. There was the newspaper with titles about a strike. The owner, a senile lady, came and said to me "You know, you know me. I'll tell you. I, that lean towards left, am asking what the devil this mafia of workers that pretend to plunder the poor well-offs that give them jobs !;?.,:! They should clean up their acts instead of upsetting their poor employers!"
👏👏👌👌👍👍😸😸
Tha same happens whith the richest countries in relation to poorest ones.
So funny 😆
Well-off humans must clean up their acts instead of plundering the environment and deprived people . Thanks BBC !!! Happy Christmas and an excellent New Year to all BBC Learning English staff and learners🎄🎆🎁
That is absolutely true! They live lavish life buy lambo, wear clothes just one time. that should be taxed and put the rules. To be honest, my carbon footprint is really really really really really low like a poor people live in the village though I have money I can buy a car go to restaurant everyday change clothes
I think Elon musk is an exception...
🇺🇿🇺🇿
VOCABULARY I've learnt from this programme
- Well-off - very rich
- Clean up their acts - improve their behaviors
- Plundering - taking what doesn't belong to you
Thank you very much for your useful and informative news review BBC Learning English
👍👍 Can you make some example sentences with the new vocabulary? 😊
Hello. I have to improve my english..
we wish to be rich and wealthy if people get richer the world get worse because the population ruins universe
you need to clean up your acts in study and life to have changes to become a well off person in the future
Yes, this is something I realized recently. The better-off, the more damage we cause to the environment.
Why not look at the drug dealers in our society!
Drug dealers is of course a very big problem but that’s not what we are talking about here
@@reglisse42 Hi, yes I see that, but it’s trying to make the bbc, go after the drug dealers in our society, driving around in their Range Rovers, with their big lipped girls, living way beyond their means.
This would benefit licence fee payers, instead of talking about all these woke issues.
The poor trans kid who was murdered, the amount of time spent on that, if he wasn’t trans, they wouldn’t have spent that much time, effort or licence fee payers money, on the matter!
By Bill Gates' logic, the riches also advocate the environmental protection the most. Therefore, their efforts offset the damages they created to the earth.
very socialist and envious this video
