Maybe there is no better time for us to think about the steps our family can take to protect the environment. In fact, in our daily life, there are many kinds of easy ways we can think of to save money and protect the environment.
Make our houses more airtight (密封的). If so, it will stop temperature loss and keep the houses warm in winter.
Buy newer fridges and air conditioners (空调), especially when the old ones are more than five years old. New ones can save twice as much energy as old ones.
Change bulbs. LED light bulbs can give brighter light with less energy and can be used for a longer time.
Clothes can be washed clean in cold water with today’s detergents (洗涤剂). Using hot water takes five times the energy and produces five times the carbon (碳).
If we all take action to save energy and reduce consumption (消耗) in our daily life, it will not only save money but also help protect the environment.

Most of us have never thought about building an educational toy by ourselves. If we need a learning toy or something, we simply go to the nearest store and buy it. However, things are not as easy in third world countries. With families even having no food to put on the table, buying toys, especially the educational ones, is the last thing on the parents’ minds.
So how can one get these kids interested in science? This was a question that worried the Indian engineer Arvind Gupta so much that he decided to leave his job and spend his life making toys from things that people no longer want or need!
Mr. Gupta began teaching in the 1970s. While still an engineering student at the Indian College of Technology, he volunteered to teach the children who could not afford to go to school. After his graduation, he found a good job at India’s Tata Motors and spent the next five years designing cars.
But he soon realized that this was not something he wanted to do for the rest of his life. So he took a year’s training course and took part in the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Program whose aim was to make science fun and exciting for poor children using common materials.
Mr. Gupta found the whole project so intereting that he decided to leave his high-paying job and pay his attention to designing educational toys that were not only cheap and easy to build, but are also full of scientific principles(科学原理), so that children could get interested in this interesting subject.
When the Internet started becoming a more widespread learning tool, Mr. Gupta created a Toys from Trash website and also recorded over 250 YouTube videos.
Today, over 50,000 children and teachers visit the website daily to download the videos for the toy creations developed from cool science. Some young children have become so inspired (鼓舞)that they have even won international science competitions with the help of his creations.
