Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each question from 31 to 40.
Green living is a way of life that aims to balance the preservation and protection of the earth's natural resources, habitats, and biodiversity with human civilization and community in as many ways as possible. In simple terms, living green and sustainably means developing a lifestyle that works with nature rather than against it and does no long-term or irreparable harm to any element of the ecological system.
With the growing threat of global warming, individuals and businesses, particularly in the hotel and hospitality industry, are shifting to a more eco-conscious way of conducting business. Many hotels and co-living complexes have chosen to give visitors more sustainable and greener rooms as demand for eco-friendly living has increased.
London is one such city that has made a name for itself in decreasing carbon emissions and fostering a greener way of life. It has several boutique hotels and staycations that combine luxury accommodations with more ecologically sustainable living options.
Many green hotels implement water-saving techs like low-flow faucets and toilets alongside water recycling systems that align with their sustainability goals. They also bank on renewable energy sources to reduce their carbon footprint while catering to guests without compromising comfort. When planning a local sightseeing, it's common for guests to contact the hotel and ask for renting vehicles. However, eco-sustainable hotels encourage guests to walk, cycle, or take public transport to reduce carbon emissions.
