●If you bring your own bags with you to the shop, you won"t need to use the bags of the shop. This will save bags before they need to be recycled. ●Don"t buy things that can be used only once. For example.use cloth napkins (餐巾) instead of paper napkins. ●Use things that last a long time. For example. use batteries (电池) that can be reused or "long life" light bulbs (电灯泡). This will make much less litter. There are also many simple ways to save energy. ●Dress warmly in the cold season and use less heat. Dress in cool clothes during the warm seasons and avoid using air conditioners (空调). ●Be sure all the windows and doors are closed tightly. This keeps heat or air conditioning in the room and will save a lot of energy. ●Don"t leave the fridge door open for a long time! ●Turn things off after you use them. ●Take showers instead of baths. You use much less water that way. If you take showers, take shorter ones. | ||||||

Most supermarkets in China provided free plastic bags. It was convenient for people to do shopping, but things changed. To protect the environment, supermarkets all over China stopped providing free plastic bags from June 1, 2008. If you don"t want to pay money to buy them, you"ll have to bring your own shopping bags. What can we use to hold things we buy from shops? Students at Qing-shan Middle School had some good ideas. One idea was making different kinds of eco-shopping bags. 54 students at that school made their own eco-shopping bags. They held an eco-shopping bag show last Friday afternoon. Many students made the bags with used clothes. They painted pictures like the Olympic rings on them. Some bags were made of used materials like used paper, old newspapers. Some were made of eco-materials like bamboo. A boy student, Wang Lin, made his bag with several old newspapers. We asked him whether the bag was strong enough. Wang Lin said it was."No problem. I took six bottles of water in the bag from the shop to my home yesterday evening," he said."I think it"s strong enough to hold even ten bottles of water." Fang Yuanyuan, a girl student, had a more traditional way to make her bag-a bamboo basket."It was a hard job," she said. "With my grandfather"s help, I spent a whole afternoon making it." The students also asked their parents and friends to use eco-shopping bags instead of plastic ones. Next Saturday afternoon, the school will hold another eco-shopping bag show to help shops and stores get ideas from the students" work. | ||||||

Did you know that each day one person in the US throws away 4.4 pounds of rubbish? Almost every month, we throw away our own rubbish in packaging alone. Packaging (including boxes, bags, etc) comes to our homes with the things we have bought. Several weeks ago, the TV news said that in a city in Italy tons of rubbish were piled up in the streets, and the smell was rather terrible. What can we do to help? We should get to know the following Rs. Reduce To reduce means to make less rubbish. That is one of the first things we all should do for the environment. Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers (可再利用 的容器), taking smaller potions (份) at dinner so you don"t waste food when you have had enough, writing on both sides of paper, and using less water when taking a shower. Reuse To reuse is to use things again. Think about the bags you get from the store. They can be reused to carry your lunch, to hold your rubbish, or to collect used cans. You can even take them back to the store the next time to carry your things instead of getting a new bag! Recycle (回收利用) Recycling is an important part of keeping our planet clean and green. It can also save energy. Be sure that you don"t throw things in the rubbish that can be recycled to make something else. Paper, plastic, cans and bottles can all be recycled, but food, electrical waste and mobile phones can"t. When you are not sure whether something can be recycled, go to your parents and teachers for advice. Follow the three Rs, and every one of us can do something to save the earth. It is also the best way to save ourselves. | ||||||
