Today,roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago,it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750,the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the vio?lin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.
One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near,Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally,he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Every?one was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly,he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror,breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin's grand entrance for a long time！

On April 22 ,2011,we decided to go "green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things,and it also meant challenging our?selves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than re?cycle and reduce our energy,we had to think of 365 differ?ent green things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year,Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
Over the course of Our Green Year,we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic (有机的) stores. We consume less meat,choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice,with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter,enjoying the smell of homemade fresh bread. In our home anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.
