We all need a healthy environment, but we produce(生产) 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 to live a green life.

Remember these three words; reduce, reuse and recycle.

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 if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy thing, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

Reuse mean “ use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of 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 or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

Recycle means “ change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what ca n 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.

It’s something familiar to all parents of young children: you’re in a busy shopping street and your child wants to pee(小便)and he just can’t hold it any longer.But two parents’ decision to let their child relieve(释放)himself has caused much attention in China.

By now, it seems, the whole Chinese Internet is familiar with what happened on a crowded Hong Kong shopping street.A mother holds a nappy(尿布)while her two-year-old pees.A passerby took pictures which then were put online.The woman explained that they had found a public toilet(厕所)but saw there was a long queue, so she had no other choice but to let their child to relieve himself on the street instead.

Why has this one child’s act caused so much upset? Allowing a child under 12 to “answer the call of nature in any public street” is against the law in Hong Kong and the parents will face a 2,000 Hong Kong Dollar($250)fine(罚款).But the on-line chatter has put all the attention on the fact that this family were tourists from mainland China, rather than being locals.“For Hong Kongers, people might think from time to time that mainlanders are not so polite and often break the public rules,” says Martin Yip of BBC.Charmaine Chui, who was born in Hong Kong, told BBC she feels angry to have seen mainland tourists peeing in shopping centers and restaurants.“Hong Kong is a beautiful, modern city.What do these people think of it?” she says.

In mainland China, there has also been criticism of the parents’ behavior.But most of the people say they find the parents’ behavior understandable as they had tried to find a toilet for their child and the mother used a paper nappy rather than simply allowing the baby to pee on the ground.
