Phil
Well, I’ve been to South Korea, and I noticed they had recycling bins everywhere.
Sam
For paper and plastic? So is that your answer, Phil?
ኣቕራቢ ቋንቋ ትግርኛ
Wait, we’ll give you the answer later in the programme! ኣብ ቢቢሲ ዝቐረበ ዜና፡ ሓንቲ ፓኪስታናዊት ጓል ‘recycling’ ንዳግመ-መስርሕ፡ ሓድሽ ትርጉም ብምሃብ፡ ‘waste’ ጐሓፍ ኰነ ‘rubbish’ ርስሓት ኣብ ጠቕሚ ከምዝዉዕል ብምግባር ኣብነታዊት ዝኾነት መንእሰይ’ያ።
News insert
A ten-year-old schoolgirl from Pakistan has been taking general rubbish and turning it into gift bags to help clean up the growing waste problem in her country. Pakistan generates 20m tonnes of rubbish a year and the figure is growing by 2.4% annually. Could Pakistan’s ‘youngest social entrepreneur’ have the answer? Zymal Umer estimates she has sold $5,000 worth of bags and donates her profits to children’s charities, winning multiple international awards for her work.
Sam
What a great story! This girl clearly has a real social conscience.
ኣቕራቢ ቋንቋ ትግርኛ
‘Social conscience’ ማሕበራዊ ሕልና ማለት’ዩ። Yes, and so young.
Sam
I know! It’s always nice to see young people who have a social conscience and want to change things.
Phil
You and your social conscience, Sam! No, but it’s true - they can then be an example to other young people, too.
Sam
Exactly, often all you need is one person to implement change and others will do the same.
ኣቕራቢ ቋንቋ ትግርኛ
‘Implement change’ ለውጢ ምትእትታው ማለት’ዩ. Have either of you ever implemented any changes?
Phil
Like the girl in the story? No! But I’ve tried to implement small changes in my own life, like reusing plastic bags.
ኣቕራቢ ቋንቋ ትግርኛ
I do that, too. And I use empty jars to grow small plants.
ብዳግመ-ምስራሕ ንዛረብ ካብ ሃለና፡ ኣቐድም ኣቢልና ዘልዓልናዮ ሕቶ ክንምለሶ። ኣየነይቲ ሃገር’ያ

ሀ. ደቡብ ኮርያ?
ለ. መክሲኮ?
ሐ. ጀርመን?
እቲ መልሲ ሐ. - ጀርመን እያ። OECD ዘውጽኦ ኣሃዝ መሰረት ብምግባር፡ ጀርመን 65% ኣብቲ ሃገር ዚፍጠር ጐሓፍ ዳግም ኪምስራሕ ትገብር፡ ደቡብ ኮሪያ ድማ 59% ናይ ዳግመ-ምስራሕ ዓቕሚ ኣሎዋ።
Sam
That just shows what happens if everyone makes little changes.
Phil
It’s true, we can all make a difference in small ways.
ኣቕራቢ ቋንቋ ትግርኛ
‘Make a difference’ ኣስተዋጽኦ ምግባር ማለት’ዩ። Yes, in small ways, like we were saying earlier, with our plastic bags and using empty jars for growing plants.
Sam
Yeah, I often wish I could make a bigger difference than I do, though...
Phil
There’s your social conscience again, Sam!
Sam
But, really! I can often see where there’s a problem, but can’t come up with solutions.
ኣቕራቢ ቋንቋ ትግርኛ
‘Come up with solutions’ ፍታሕ ምምጻእ ማለት’ዩ። They described the schoolgirl in the story as a ‘social entrepreneur’ ማሕበራዊት በዓልቲ ዋኒን for making gift bags from newspaper.
Sam
Exactly! She came up with such a creative solution to a big problem in her country.
Phil
You know, I was just thinking - I’d say that in our team, I’m the one who comes up with the most creative solutions.
Sam
You’re also the one who creates all the problems, Phil!
Phil
Mmh?
ኣቕራቢ ቋንቋ ትግርኛ
Oh no, maybe we need to implement some changes here!
