Part 1: 1. Eco · 2. recycle · 3. global · 4. pollution · 5. environment · (extra: climate — usable in other sentences; here global warming takes global)
Part 2: 1. Climate · 2. environmentally · 3. Governments
Part 3:
1. Unless drivers check tyre pressure, they waste fuel and money.
2. Unless factories respect/follow clean technology rules, society will not slow global warming.
Traps: Never write Unless they don’t check…. Eco-driving is written with a hyphen in many handouts; the blank here is the first element Eco.
