   Rachel: You were talking about Earth Hour and that's switching the lights off is one way to save electricity and protect the environment. What other things do you do in your life to save for example water?


 
  Steven: Well, as for me, I recycle all my waste. I also, as for water, before brushing teeth, I have a cup. I just fill the cup and then use it. I don't know if you do it. Do you do it?
 
  Rachel: Actually, I have to confess 1, I don't save water very efficiently 2. I usually leave the tap running when I'm brushing my teeth, so I will try.
 
  Do you have any other tips for saving 3 water?
 
  Steven: Well, start off buying a cup before you brush your teeth, and of course, try to close the tap. When you're trying to like throw trash or something, try to separate your trash, and of course turn off any electricity that you're not using. Unplug them because even if you don't use it, and you have a plug, it will use electricity.
 
  Rachel: Thank you. So do you always unplug your laptop computer when you go to sleep or do you sometimes leave it running?
 
  Steven: I actually plug my laptop. I will charge it fully 4 and then I will unplug it and use it -- all the battery, so I guess I do, and especially I don't use my laptop. For my laptop I just use it for class, so pretty much yes.
 
  Rachel: Well, my computers very old, and I'm always scared if I turn it off that it won't start up again, so I leave mine on all the time. I think I'm the worst environmentalist. But I do recycle a lot of our trash, and I also have never owned a car, so I take public transport everywhere. Do you have a car?
 
  Steven: I do have a car. However I try not to use it, because if I use it I will just take the whole family: my parents and my sisters. And as for shopping, I will just take the public transportation because it's right almost really near to my house.
 
  Rachel: In Costa Rica, do you actually need a car to travel between places or is public transport very good?
 
  Steven: Compare Costa Rica with other countries, for example the United States or Japan, Costa Rica doesn't have the railroads 5. It doesn't have the subways. But we do have a good bus, transportation, and it's pretty much really cheap.
 
  Rachel: So Steven you've inspired me to be more environmentally friendly, so I think I'm gonna go and buy a cup so I can brush my teeth and save water.
 
  Steven: Great idea. Thank you Rachel.
