Environment and change over time (klimatske promjene, zaštita okoliša)

The environment as a topic

Three set phrases carry the whole B2 environment theme: klimatske promjene (climate change — always plural), zaštita okoliša (environmental protection) and elementarna nepogoda (natural disaster — the umbrella for the potres, poplava, suša you know). Klimatske promjene su ozbiljan problem. Potres je elementarna nepogoda. The verbal noun recikliranje (recycling) comes from reciklirati.
