Do something for your local environment

In this issue(期号), we look at things we can do for our local environment.

3. Cleaner streets for the town

In the last few weeks, lots of new bins have been placed along the high street in an effort to keep our town tidy. Our community wardens will be patrolling the street and will fine anyone who drops litter. The fine for littering is £100.

4. One green, one brown and one black

Starting this month, we’re introducing a new rule of recycling. Households will be given three bins. The green one is for recyclable rubbish, such as paper, plastic, glass and card; the brown one is for garden and food waste and the black bin is for all other rubbish. New collection time will be announced soon.

1. 70

Do you want to grow your own vegetables or keep a few chickens? Do you think you have green fingers? There are almost one hundred sites available on three-year leases(租赁). All the sites are available on a first come, first served basis. Interested? Then give us a call.

2. Cycle, don’t drive!

Do you drive to work? Could you cycle? We have built lots of new cycle lanes in the last two years. They are clearly marked and you can find a complete route map on our website. Remember, cycling is not only good for the environment but will also help you stay healthy.

We arrived in Kunming by train. It’s an old city with a history of more than 2, 200 years in Yunnan. The weather was fine. We took the tour bus to visit the city. We went to Golden Temple, Green Lake Park and Stone Forest. They were all beautiful. And we ate many kinds of food in Kunming. My favorite food was a kind of noodles — Guoqiao rice noodles.

It rained when we landed in Sanya Phoenix Airport(机场). The tour bus took us to the hotel. The hotel was big and clean. After dinner, I swam in the swimming pool in the hotel. The next day was cloudy. It was wet and hot. We went to the beach(海滩). There were lots of people there. Some were swimming, some were boating and some others were walking on the beach. I found small sea animals. It was a lot of fun.
