Writing text messages while walking is dangerous. A study says it is more dangerous than texting while driving. Researchers found that there are more injuries(伤害)to texting walkers than there are to texting drivers. Their report says walking is not as easy as we think. We must focus on(专注)many things at the same time to walk safely in a straight line. The researchers said that people forget how to walk properly, so dangerous things happen to them. They run into walls and other people. They walk into cars, fall over things in the street, and even fall into holes or downstairs.

A professor said walking is a difficult action. There are several reasons why texting makes walking dangerous. One is that people cannot see the street. Another is that they are focusing on their phones instead of their feet. A final reason is that their minds are somewhere else—they are not thinking about walking from A to B safely. The professor said over 6,000 people visited his hospital last year because of texting. He said the worst cases are head injuries. When a walker is tossed(抛) into the air he or she has nothing to protect the head. The damage(损害) can be serious.

Want to save the environment? You probably can’t fix everything on your own, but by taking small steps and keeping the environment in mind every day, you can make a difference.

Think Green. Challenge yourself to think about the environment as you live your life. If you shut off lights when you leave the room, turn off your TV when you’re not watching it, you’ll save energy. If you take shorter showers, you’ll save water.

Shop Green. Shopping is fun, but buying things you don’t need is wasteful and bad for the earth. Before you buy something, ask yourself how much you’ll really use it. Keep yourself away from buying products with unnecessary packaging (包装), and whenever possible, buy things that were locally made instead of those shipped from far away.

Dress Green. Wear green trousers and T-shirts if you want. But what really matters isn’t the colour, it’s how the clothes were made. If you want to help the environment, the best place to find clothes is at a vintage store, but you might not want to buy everything used. No matter where you shop, keep an eye out for products made from environmentally friendly materials like organic (有机的) cotton, which is grown without the use of pesticides (杀虫剂).

Study Green. What’s better than learning about the environment? Save it while you learn. It can be as simple as using both sides of a piece of paper before you recycle it, or reusing an old textbook instead of buying a new one. If you want to do more, join an environmental group at your school, and encourage your friends to join, too.
