Question

   It seems that these days the word “green” is everywhere. I don't just mean the color. It is a lifestyle that respects the environment and doesn’t hurt our environment. So what's the big deal? First of all,being green doesn’t just save the environment,but the green in your wallet as well. Second,it's a great way to stay healthy. So how can you be green? Here is something you can easily do.

   Use green transport 

   Ride your bike,or walk if it isn’t too far away for you. Meanwhile,biking and walking are by far the most environmentally friendly things on the planet which use no gas,and therefore produce no pollution. All of these options are environmentally friendly as public transportation carries many people at a time,rather than a car which usually carries one person at a time. Public transportation saves you money,too.

   Use reusable cups or bags 

   Many coffee shops now offer you a 10 cent discount (折扣) for bringing your own reusable mug (圆筒形的 有柄杯) . Reusable cups keep your drinks,like coffee hotter,and cold drinks,like water,colder. They can be a little expensive to buy outright,but they save the environment,and your money. You can also use reusable bags. You will save money by bringing your own lunch from home every day,and save the environment by not throwing away lunch containers. By bringing your lunch to work every day in a reusable container you are saving trees from being cut down for useless items.
