How green are you? Do you know how to be green?

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.

Reduce

Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

Reuse

Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup of a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

Recycle

Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

In the sunny night, look up at the clear night sky. You can probably see thousands of stars. The biggest thing you’ll see, of course, is the moon. For thousands of years, people have wondered about this big thing in the sky.

Earth’s moon is a satellite. A satellite is a body that orbits(环绕轨道运行)a planet. All moons are satellites, and many planets have them. Some have many moons. Earth, of course, only has one. It’s a special moon, though. It’s the fifth largest moon in the solar system!

In fact, the moon is much smaller than the sun. But it’s much closer to Earth, so it looks as big as the sun. The moon is so close that you can see its dark and light spots(斑点)without a telescope. Men flew and landed on the moon’s surface many times by spacecrafts in the 1960s and 1970s. Neil Armstrong was the first human to step on the moon. He walked on the moon on July 20th, 1969. The flights to the moon have helped us learn much about it. Astronauts even brought rocks home with them!

There’s still a lot to learn about the moon. Now people still can’t live on the moon because it does not have oxygen or water like the Earth. But I’m sure that humans can live there one day in the future.
