What does it mean to be green？“Green”is more than just a color．It also means taking special steps to protect the environment—the water，the land，and the air we breathe．Why green？Plants are green，and without them the earth wouldn’t be such a lovely home for us human beings．

Sometimes people call ours a“throw—away society”．That means we are always throwing away old things and buying new ones．Many times，if you no longer need something，someone else just might need it．For example，if your brother is old enough not to play with his plastic bike，why not give it to another family who has a little kid so that they don’t need to buy one？And one less large plastic toy doesn’t need to be produced．

Recycling(回收利用)has never been easier．Many organizations will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require(要求)it．Tell your mom or dad you want to become“Chief of Recycling”for your family．Now that you know what things you can recycle，find a place to keep them．Make sure you encourage everyone in your house to think whether things can be reused or recycled before they’re thrown away．

Almost everyone likes traveling．But next time before you travel around the world，take a look at your own backyard．Is there a place where you could plant a tree or put in a little fruit or vegetable garden？If so，get there and get your hands dirty．Then you can watch with pride as your tree takes root，and your garden plants grow into big plants full of ripe，red tomatoes or tiny，juicy blueberries．Who knew being green would taste so good？
