Which of the following 'green ideas' have already been implemented at Delavigne Corp?

There may be more than one correct answer!

Providing greater shade from sunlight

This is an idea that Ursula is proposing, which has not yet been implemented at the Delavigne Corporation. Ursula says Delavigne should be looking at 'providing shade from the sun'. This means that installing greater protection from sunlight is more efficient than trying to cool the building with air-conditioning. 'Shade' is anything that is used to protect against light or heat.

Using energy-efficient light bulbs

This is correct. Bruno says that Delavigne has already introduced 'energy-saving light bulbs' as an ecological measure. 'Energy-saving' means being 'efficient' with energy consumption, so that as little energy as possible is used.

Recycling paper

This is correct. Bruno says that 'paper recycling' is one of the ecological measures that has already been introduced at Delavigne. 'Recycling' is a process of re-using used or waste materials, such as aluminum cans or paper.

Sorting waste

This is correct. When Ursula asks Bruno 'are you sorting your waste?', he replies 'yes, we've done all that'. To 'sort your waste' means to put your rubbish into different categories: usually 'glass', 'paper' and 'organic' waste. Many countries, like Germany, have public litter (or rubbish) bins for different types of rubbish or waste (aluminum, plastic, cardboard etc.).

Using natural air currents to cool the building

This is one of the ideas that Ursula is proposing, but it has not already been implemented at the Delavigne Corporation. Ursula says 'you could look at increasing natural air currents within the office space'. Ursula thinks that natural air currents will be able to cool the building in a more efficient way than air-conditioning.
