Garbage or trash is a main kind of environmental pollution. Each person makes about two kilograms a day. We are making waste faster than nature can break them down. And we are running out of resources(资源)faster than they can be dealt with. This increases troubles for the environment .Where does all that garbage go? What can be done to help deal with garbage? How can we make less garbage?

Garbage isn’t just the rotting (腐烂的) fruit, vegetables or meat that we throw away in our homes, schools or supermarkets. Those are only a small part of all the things we throw away. We create the most waste in construction, mining and in our factories.

___________Most is burned or buried in landfills( 垃圾填埋场)Less than a quarter of our waste can be used again.

With a population of 13 billion, garbage is a big problem for China. Chinese cities create around 148 million tons of garbage every year.

Once, we used about 3 billion plastic shopping bags every day in China. The result was a great waste of resources and serious pollution. Last year, we did something about that. Now we use more cloth bags and shopping baskets when we shop.

In the coming years, China will build waste-to-energy plants in cities to clean up garbage, but there's a lot more that needs to be done.

Most of us get our earliest life lessons from fairy tales, like “True love can overcome anything.” and “Even a frog can turn into a prince". However, at a certain age, we start to learn new things about life, especially that love doesn't always win, and that a frog is just a frog..

“Fairy tales have always been with us because they are the stories of our lives in their simplest form.” wrote US author Laura Packer on the National Storytelling Network website. “They are stories of love and loss, desire and death, riches and ruin.”

Fairy tales are all about reality (现实). But if children only see just one side of reality, adults usually see the other.

For example, in the 2014 film Maleficent, we’re told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the eyes of the evil(邪恶的) queen. Unlike the children’s eyes of the story, we see that the queen wasn’t born evil. Instead, she is in a lot of troubles as she grows up, which leads to the creation of her “evil” side. And in US author James Finn Gamer’s book Politically Correct Bedtime Stories, he tells the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood, but with a modern version: When the wolf tells Red Riding Hood that it isn't safe for a little girl to walk through the woods alone, she calls the wolf sexist(性别歧视者), which relates to today’s opinions that girls aren't weaker than boys.

It seems that fairy tales aren't just stories that our parents read us at bedtime. They may usually start with "Once upon a time.” but as we grow older, we learn that every story doesn't always need a "Happily ever after" to be a good one.
