We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce means “use less”. Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
Title: 1. __ to Live a Green Life
We produce waste every day and it is 2.____ to us. We can do something to help. | ||
Ideas | Dos | Don’ts |
To reduce | Use less. * Try to 3. something. | * Don’t buy too many things from 4. countries. |
To reuse | 5. again. * Use things for as long as possible. * Buy things that last long. *Take care of things or 6. the old things. | *Don’t use 7. cups or bags. |
To recycle | Change things into something 8. *Join in recycling programmes. *Buy products 9. from recycled materials. | *Don’t throw things 10. or burn them. |
