It's important to learn about protecting our
environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:
1.Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things
wisely. Millions of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a
little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees
left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with
the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste
2.Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable things
before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which
are too small to the poor. With a family, you may pass on such clothes to
younger brothers or sisters.
3. Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By
doing so, we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a
factory, where they are smashed flat(压平)and melted(融化)and the melted things are made for new coke cans.
4.Recover
When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few
rotten(腐烂的)apples, You have two choices: one is to
throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the
good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
5. Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can
repair it instead of throwing it away. If you want to change for better ones,
It is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who
can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a
"throw-away" society(社会).But the time has come to change our way of life so
that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.
