I am a vegetarian(素食主义者).Many people are quick to think of vegetarianism as strange behavior.I treasure our Earth, and since we only have one, we should protect it and the wildlife that lives on it.But that’s only one of the reasons to be a vegetarian.

Vegetarians may live longer, healthier lives.There is a connection between red meat consumption and various diseases.From an economic standpoint, it requires less land, money and energy to produce foods for a vegetarian diet.While there are many benefits to being a vegetarian, only a handful of those who attempt to adopt this lifestyle succeed.

The most important quality required to be a vegetarian is firmness since surrounded by the temptation of meat, we tend to give up vegetarianism easily.Creativity is almost as important as commitment.It’s easy to tire of eating nothing but salad. But with a little creativity and some soy products, almost any meal can become vegetarian-friendly.

Not everyone wants to be vegetarian.Accepting this is part of being a vegetarian with style.Forcing your beliefs on others is disrespectful.Stylish vegetarians should also be able to turn down a meaty dish politely without annoying their hosts.

Being a successful vegetarian has been easy for me, but it may not be so for others.a common mistake is quitting before your body has adjusted to the change.It can be difficult to keep the lifestyle in the beginning because of temptation.However, it fades over time.Another common mistake is quitting because you’ve been misinformed about the nutritional wisdom of being a vegetarian.That’s why it is vital to be educateD. Countless people will tell you that it’s impossible to obtain the nutrients and protein(蛋白质)your body requires without meat, but they are incorrect.People actually need only 44-55 grams of protein a day, and that is easily found in a vegetarian diet.Many meat eaters are consuming three times that amount, which is not beneficial.It leads to diseases.Vegetables can also supply all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs.However, if you’re still not convinced, you can take a multi-vitamin.

It is important for countries to develop. Sometimes development can do more harm than good for a country. Therefore, this development needs to be different from past development, which polluted the environment and wasted natural resources. One possible solution to this problem now being discussed is sustainable development. It focuses on preserving the environment and natural resources. It is all about creating better health care, education, housing and improved standard of living for everyone. This is a simple idea, but one that is hard to put into practice. However, it is something that we must do, because without sustainable development our future and the lives of our children and our grandchildren will be in danger.

Nearly everything we do in our modern lives requires the use of the Earth’s natural resources. These natural resources provide the energy for many important things. The list is almost endless. For all these things, we mostly depend on fuels such as coal, gas and oil to produce energy. We are now consuming these fuels at a much higher rate than they are being produced. On top of this, burning these fuels produces carbon dioxide, which is harmful to the environment. This is why many people are pushing for the use of alternative energy sources.

Alternative energy sources can be used without running out. Some examples of the alternatives are solar energy, wind energy and hydroelectricity. As people are becoming more aware of the need to protect the environment, these types of energy are becoming more and more popular.

In many parts of the world, tentative(试验性的) steps are being taken to introduce these forms of alternative energy. For example, some people in Nigeria are training to use solar power, and in Costa Rica, people are now using hydroelectricity to provide power for their small villages. The introduction of programmes like these will hopefully help end the systematic destruction of the environment and see alternative energy promoted around the world. This will mean good things for our future, our children’s future and our grandchildren’s future.
