Want to save the environment? You probably can’t fix everything on your own, but by taking small steps and keeping the environment in mind every day, you can make it.

Think Green. If you shut off lights when you leave the room, turn off your TV when you’re not watching it,you ’ 11 save energy. 1.    

Shop Green. Shopping is fun, but buying things you don’t need is wasteful and bad for the earth.

2.       Don’t buy products with unuseful packaging (包装),and whenever possible,buy things that were locally made instead of those shipped from far away.

Dress Green. 3.       But what really

matters isn’ t the colour, it’s how the clothes were made. If you want to help the environment, the best place to find clothes is at a vintage store, but you might not want to buy everything used. Keep an eye out for products made from materials like organic (有机的)cotton.

Study Green. 4.       Save it while you leam. It can be as simple as using both sides of a piece of paper before you reuse an old textbook instead of buying a new one. 5.       And encourage your friends to join, too.

 Why do we need to throw less away? There are two reasons. One is that some resources (资源)are nonrenewable (不可再生的).That means there is only a certain amount of that resource in the world. One example of this is oil. When we use up all the oil in the world, there will be no more.

There is another reason for throwing less away. All of our trash has to be put somewhere. Often, it is put into garbage dumps (垃圾场). Much of that trash will be there for hundreds of years. The dumps will be filled up with all this trash.

There are three ways to cut down on trash.

One way is to recycle. When you recycle something, it means it is made into another shape and used again. Old newspaper may become paper bags. A glass jar can be melted (溶化)and made into a bottle.

Another way to cut down on trash is to reuse things. You can wash and use again a bottle that can hold relish or something else.

The third way to cut down on trash is to reduce the    amount    of trash    you make, stop buying things    that you don ’t  need in the first place. Then reduce    the amount  of the earth, s trash.
