no it does not
Siuuuuuuuuuu
The video can make me know more about environment issues.
First look ...... I SAW EMMA WATSON😂😂😂
hy are the BBC focusing on stories such as this and not the excess deaths in the UK? Currently, these are exceeding by far those that died from the virus itself. Why the silence?
What excess deaths are you on about?
@@rjjcms1 Excess deaths, mostly non COVID, killing around 1700 extra people per week.
@@georgemcnally4473 Excess deaths caused by what?
@@rjjcms1 Yet to be determined Ralph, though it would seem likely it is the medical intervention that has been circulating so widely in many Western Countries (plus Australia and NZ). Interestingly, countries that did not have such widespread access to the medical intervention have not seen the excess deaths.
What can we do individually to save our planet once and for all?
What do you mean?
I'm looking forward as an individual person to get better our environment and so on. What's women's rights have to do with? Think about it
That incident is the landmark in her life.
He said that they are using the greenwashing concept.
If we misuse nuclear power it will be a warning shot for them.
Good job using the vocab! 💪

BBC learning English is brilliant, lovely channel!
I belong to you forever!

I'm Egyptian subscriber I'm proud cop27 will be in my home country Egypt I'd like to say welcome to Egypt 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
bbc English is so useful
sorry BBC guys but plastic bottles are NOT bad for the environnement! plastic materials have an infinite life! and without plastic we couldn't live. The issue is: how plastic is managed. So pls STOP with this rediculus way of thinking about plastic. Where are problems with plastic? in Africa , Asia or India not in Europe where people and GOVs know how to manage it and industries are very happy to recycle gaining lots of money. So pls be informed before talking!
Then how many end up in landfill and/or put microbeads in our oceans?
As with every other COP extravaganza, there will be lots of talk and nothing else. I pity the poor workers that will have to clean up all the bullshit that is left lying around.
True,but we hope that something sensible and practicable that is actually going to help alleviate,and preferably reverse,the problem will come out of it not just hot air and mindless hysteria.
The world's poluation is reportedly about to pass 8 billion officially - that means it's doubled in less than 40 years! Naturally,that's a lot more hungry mouths to feed,somehow. A scanadlous amount of food gets wasted,though,because the way of doing things is flawed and in some ways broken.
The so called "crisis" is a lie anyway. They are just securing more power and control for themselves. And less freedom and prosperity for the rest of us.
