   Last year,four children waited for their school bus every day for ten minutes,on the same dirty street corner. There were old bottles,parts of old bikes,and 1 soda cans (苏打罐) everywhere around the bus stop. The trees were brown and had no leaves,and there wasn^ any flower at all. It was ugly.

   One Friday,one of the children looked at the corner and decided to do 2 about it. The next Monday,she brought a bag and 3 some of the old bottles to recycle. On Tuesday,she spent another ten minutes picking up old bottles,while her best friend picked up soda cans and put them in a different 4 for recycling. On Wednesday,all the children joined together. The corner became 5 !

   The corner looked better but it was 6 ugly. So the next day the girl brought some flower seeds (种子) . She planted the seeds and watered them,and watered the 7 , too. She only had ten minutes a day but that was enough.

   Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles? Some people think it is healthy and clean. Others drink bottled water because it's easy—you can carry it around with you. In hot countries,like Greece,we often buy bottles of cold water in summer.

   However,making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all,we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source (资源) of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made,we wouldn’t need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we recycled all our plastic bottles,we wouldn’t need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece,we don't recycle much of the plastic we use. In 2006,Greeks recycled only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas.

   So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin,stop and think. If you recycled it,you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isn’t a recycling bin near you? Well,there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example,an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money,and if you cut a bottle in half,you will have a plant pot. Go green!You can make a difference.
