Going green is easier than you think. There are little things you can do every day to help reduce greenhouse gases and make a meaningful influence on the environment. Here are things you can do to help save the earth.

Pay attention to how you use water. The little things can make a big difference. Every time you turn off the water while brushing your teeth, you' re doing something good. Try drinking tap water instead of bottled water, so you don't waste the bottles as well. Wash your clothes in cold water when you can.

Leave your car at home. If you can stay off the road just two days a week, you'll reduce greenhouse gas emissions(排放)by an average of 1,590 pounds per year. You can go to the post office, supermarket and shoe repair place in one trip. It will save your gas and time.

Walk or ride your bike to work, school and anywhere you can. You can reduce greenhouse gases while burning some calories and improving your health.

Recycle. You can help reduce waste just by putting the cans into different bins. If you're trying to choose between two products, pick the one with the least packaging(包装)

Drive smarter. Slow down—driving 60 miles (96 km) per hour instead of 70 mph, the highway will exactly save you up 4 miles (6 km) per gallon(加仑).

Taking care of the earth is not just a duty—it's a privilege(荣幸)

Perhaps Vincent van Gogh (1853 -1890) isn’t the most famous artist in the world, but his personal story is probably the most well-known. The paintings he created didn’t become famous until after he died.

Van Gogh was born to a rich family in the Netherlands (荷兰). He started his career working for an art dealer(艺术品商). But then he tried other things like teaching in England. He also tried to become a priest (牧师) but failed the exams.

Finally, he found something else to believe in when he lived in Belgium (比利时) — art. He returned to his childhood love of painting and drawing.

He was an important artist in a generation that challenged the Impressionist (印象派) style. Post-Impressionists, like Van Gogh, wanted to show the world as it felt to them, not always as it looked.

Van Gogh used different forms and colors to make his art more abstract. The way he used colors was especially impressive. In Wheatfield with Crows (1890), the colors are very intense (强烈的). Corn is yellow, grass is green, and crows (乌鸦) are black. But the colors are used in such a way that it looks better than a photograph.
