13．As time goes on，people have come to realize the importance of protecting the environment．But they can't deal with everything by themselves．Take small steps，and you can make a difference．
●Think Green．Think about the environment as you live your life．If you turn off lights and TV when leaving the room，you'll save energy．If you take shorter showers，you will save water．
●Shop Green．Shopping is fun，but buying things you don't need is wasteful and even bad for the earth．Before you buy something，ask yourself how much you will use it，and whenever possible，buy things locally made instead of those shipped from far away．
