e world wish all humans to realize the significance of their natural surroundings, many Australians are turning caring for the environment into a way of life.
Julie Astonis, an Australian housewife in Brisbane is one such example. Even though autumn is
approaching Australia's Brisbane in April, one can still watch colorful blooming (盛开的) flowers in
Julie's little garden, as she tells that in her community, "Each of us has a beautiful yard. The whole
community, from children to elderly people, takes care of the environment as if they are taking care of their own garden."
"Gardening is the most popular club in our community," she says. "A lot of retired people don't just
regularly organize gardening lectures, but also personally visit families in the community to provide
gardening training. So you can see that flowers continue to blossom in our gardens throughout the year."
Talking about her people's sense of caring for the environment, Julie says when people in the
community take along their dog, they always carry a garbage bag to deal with the dog's waste. "In our
community, you will never experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are
walking on the grass," says Julie with a smile."Taking care of the the dog's waste can also help to develop
children's sense of responsibility!"
