As teenagers,changing the world does not only mean finding a cure for cancer,or finding the origin of humanity,but recycling a piece of paper as well.Going Green is a practical way that teenagers can have a real and meaningful influence in the world.What follows are three simple ways teenagers can go green and change the world.
Recycle
According to a Wire & Twine online article,63million newspapers go out to street vendors (摊贩),local paper boys,or newspaper dispensers every day and of those 44million are thrown away.Recycling the Sunday newspapers alone we could save half a million trees a week.The age of technology creates new phones,iPods,or new computers.Many people will stand in line for hours to get their hands on the new piece of technology,but what happens with the old ones?Nothing.According to Earth911,about 75% of the old devices (设备) are thrown in the back of a drawer collecting dust.
Go vegetarian (素食主义) one day a week
Here are some amazing facts on going vegetarian for only one day.According to Noam Mohr,a physicist at the New York University,the United States would save 100billion gallons of water which is enough to offer all homes in New England for about 4months.The Environmental Defense concludes with the most interesting fact:if the whole population gives up one meal of chicken,the amount of carbon dioxide accumulated (累积的) would be the same amount if more than half a million cars were taken off U.S.roads.So giving up just one day of eating meat is worth the advantages it could bring.
Don't drink too much bottled water
There is a common idea that bottled water is healthier than regular tap water.However,25% of bottled water comes from regular tap water which goes through a filter (过滤).Bottled water companies do not need to list where they got the water from,how they clean the water,or what chemicals their plastic water bottles have.Plastic bottles do not get recycled 90% of the time which results in 1.5million tons of plastic in landfills which are not easy to decompose (分解).In fact,after considering that bottled water and tap water have few differences,people should use more reusable water bottles."
Just keep in mind what Margaret Mead once said,"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful and committed (坚定的) citizens can change the world.Indeed,it's the only thing that ever has."

2.Terry Fox was born on July 28,1958in Canada.He was a determined little boy who never liked to miss a day of school.Fox enjoyed playing baseball and basketball very much in his free time.In secondary school he won the Athlete of the Year Award.He wanted to be a physical education teacher.
Terry Fox's future changed in 1977when doctors told him there was cancer in his right knee.To stop the spread of cancer,doctors amputated(截肢) most of his leg.Fox learned how to use an artificial leg,and three weeks after the operation,he was walking.
Terry Fox made a plan to raise money for cancer research by running across Canada.His goal was to raise﹩1 from every Canadian.People said it was a crazy idea but Terry could not be stopped.He started his running on the Atlantic coast in Newfoundland in April 1980 and planned to finish on the Pacific coast in September.
The people of Newfoundland were welcoming and generous.Fox was treated to many meals at people's homes.A small town of 10,000 people raised﹩10,000.Fox ran about 45 km each day.He ran through Nova Scotia,New Brunswick,Quebec and Ontario.As he ran he gave speeches about cancer and how the money he collected would go to finding a cure for cancer.The 8,000 people in the town of Gravenhurst donated﹩14,000.By the time he ran half-way across Canada he had raised﹩11.4 million.
At the end of August he thought he was getting a bad cold and stopped running for a few days.Doctors said the cancer had come back and was now in his lungs.Terry went into hospital for treatment.People kept donating money.There were 24 million people in Canada in 1980.Over﹩24 million had been raised by February 1981.Terry had met his goal.The treatment did not cure Terry.He died on June 28,1981.That September,the first Terry Fox Run was held in Canada.Terry Fox Runs are now held yearly in 60 countries and millions of people have taken part.More than﹩360 million has been raised for cancer research.The donations for cancer research don't stop.His dream lives on.
