A kind woman baked an extra loaf of bread hungry passer-by. She placed it beside a window and prayed for her son. He went to a faraway land.

A tramp(流浪汉)would always came to take away the bread. As he left, he would always say, "The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you. "

The woman felt irritated. '"Not even a word of thanks'", she said to herself.

Finally the woman became so angry that she decided to add poison to the loaf. As she was placing it, her hands shook. "Look at what I've done!" she said. She immediately threw the bread away and made another one.

As usual, the tramp came and picked up the bread.

That evening, there was a knock on the door. Surprisingly, the woman's son was standing in the doorway. He was tired and weak. "Mom, it's a miracle that I can come back home! I nearly starved to death as I got closer. Thanks to an old tramp, he gave me a loaf of bread. He said that he got it from a nice lady. "

The woman's face turned pale at once. The tramp's words suddenly came back to her, "The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you. "

Give your dead batteries a new life. Recycle them!

Batteries are used to power clocks, computers, tools and more. However, your batteries have some serious power when their lives are over.

WHY TO RECYCLE BATTERIES:

Remember, batteries are harmful waste. This means we should properly throw them away. You may not think one little battery can cause that much pollution. But don't think of it as just one battery—there can be millions. In Canada, each person uses about 20 single-use batteries every year. That's about 700 million batteries! If all these batteries end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场),the heavy metals inside them can get into the water, land and air. It can be harmful to humans and wildlife.

By recycling single-use batteries, you can cut down pollution and also help save energy. All batteries are mainly made of plastic and valuable metals. Through recycling programs, dead batteries can be changed into something useful like steel products, or even new batteries!

HOW TO RECYCLE BATTERIES:

Make a difference by starting to collect batteries at your home or school today. You can prepare a box for battery collection and invite friends, family and classmates to bring in old batteries to be recycled.

There are many safe ways to deal with your batteries. You can:

●Find a Call2Recycle public collection station near you.

● Ask the store where you bought the batteries if you can return them there.

●Communicate with your local city government to find out if there are special programs for recycling used batteries!
