Host : Welcome to the "Morning Show." Today, we have Mr. life. ⓐBorn and raised in New York,
Mr. Fine bought a farm in the New Mexico desert and moved there. ⓑHe wanted to see whether he
could live with the least consumption of fossil fuel energy or not. Let's learn about his struggles to
reduce his carbon emissions. Hello, Mr. Fine. Would you please introduce yourself to our audience?
Mr. Fine : Yes. Hi, everyone. It's great to be here. My name is Doug Fine, and I am a journalist. ⓒ
I'm trying to stop using fossil fuels and live as green a life as I can.
Host : ⓓYou said you are trying to quit to use fossil fuels. Why? What's wrong with fossil fuels?
Mr. Fine : Well. we all know the story, don't we? We get energy mainly from burning fossil fuels, but
there are a couple of problems with that. ⓔFossil fuels are not renewable, which means that sooner
or later we are going to run out of them. Also, they harm the environment. When you burn fossil
fuels, carbon gas is produced. which has a harmful effect on the climate.
① ⓐ ② ⓑ ③ ⓒ ④ ⓓ ⑤ ⓔ
Host : Climate change is not news, but we are likely to think it's none of our business.
Mr. Fine : I hadn't taken it seriously before either. While working on a documentary in Alaska,
however, I realized that climate change is serious and that I, ⓐalong with everyone else, am
responsible for it. I could see it with my own eyes. Enormous ice sheets were melting away. It struck
me hard that I was sending carbon into the air ⓑat any time when I turned on the lights, drove a
car, or even went shopping for food. I felt I had to do something.
Host : So you decided to change your way of life. What exactly did you do?
Mr. Fine : ⓒIn the first place. I gave up city life. Do you know what the two things in our lives that
burn the most fossil fuels are? Electricity and transportation. But who could live entirely without them?
We certainly cannot. ⓓWith electricity and transportation, we would have to live like primitive people.
So I wanted to set up a more sustainable system of providing for them, different from the current
one that is so dependent upon fossil fuel energy. It was difficult for me to do this in a city as big as
New York.
Host : ⓔThat is to say, you wanted to enjoy all the benefits of the modern age, only with a lot less
fossil fuels.

Mr. Fine : Exactly. As for electricity, my answer was solar energy. It's also the reason I chose New
Mexico. The sun shines almost all year round there. Still, it was not easy for me to get electricity
from sunlight. Solar panels are surprisingly expensive, and I had trouble putting them in place. It was
worth the effort, though. Now a large part of the electricity used on my farm is provided by my DIY
solar system. After going solar, my farm uses only one tenth of the fossil fuel energy used by the
average American household.
Host : And regarding transportation, I hear you now drive a very special truck.
Mr. Fine : Yes. I came up with what I consider a brilliant idea − biofuel. I bought a diesel truck and
had it converted to run on vegetable oil. Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of diesel engines, actually
intended for farmers to grow their own fuel.
These days, I no longer go to a gas station to get fuel. I pay regular visits to a local Chinese
restaurant and collect waste cooking oil. It does not cost money and does not send carbon into air.
The only problem is that the t ruck smells like fried chicken, and driving it makes me terribly hungry!

fossil fuels.
Mr. Fine Exactly. As for electricity, my answer was solar energy. It’s also the reason I chose New
Mexico. The sun shines almost all year round there still, it was not easay for me to get electricity
from sunlight. Solar panels are surprisingly expensive, and I had trouble putting them in place. It was

Host And regarding transportation, I hear you now drive a very special truck.
Mr. Fine Yes. I came up with what I consider a brilliant idea – biofuel. I bought a diesel truck and
had it converted to run on vegetable oil. Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of diesel engines, actually
intended for farmers to grow their own fuel.
These days, I no longer go to a gas station to get fuel. I pay regular visits to a local Chinese

Host you also started farming _______________________. Mr. Fine I’m not a farmer by trade I just
try my best to grow what I eat Eating locally is another way of reducing carbon emissions. Not only
people but also food travels in this world of global t rade. The tomatoes in your lunch salad may
have come f rom Chile. To bring them to you consumed a lot of jet fuel. I grow fruits and vegetables
and raise some chickens for daily eggs, just for my dinner table. I also raise goats for milk and ice
cream. Without ice cream, my happiness couldn’t be complete!
Host Are you satisfied with your life? Do you think a more sustainable way of life is possible for
everyone?
Mr. Fine When I started this, I set three goals for myself. “Use less oil. Power my life with solar
energy, and eat locally.” It’s been only a year, but I believe I’ve made significant progress. If we
stay aware and keep trying, I’m certain that we can build a better future. Not everyone can do what
I did, but everyone can, and should, try to reduce their carbon consumption.

① Fossil fuels are limited. Consuming them for long enough, global resources will eventually run out.
② Fossil fuels emit carbon dioxide and other harmful air pollutants when burned. They lead to a
wide variety of environmental issues at the global levels.
③ Icebergs are melting rapidly in Alaska. Climate change contributes to the loss of a tremendous
amount of sea ice.
④ Most lights still use coal-burning power plants to produce their electricity. This burning is still one
of the main contributing sources of CO₂ emissions.
⑤ Fossil fuels are extremely efficient, so that they can generate huge amounts of energy. Nothing
else even comes close to generating the same amount of energy that fossil fuels do.
