Mars（火星） is the fourth planet from Sun. It is home to both the highest mountain and the deepest, longest valley（山谷） in the solar system（太阳系）. Olympus Mons, the highest mountain on Mars, is about 27 kilometers high, about three times as tall as Qomolangma. And the deepest valley on Mars reaches as deep as 10 kilometers and runs east west for about 4, 000 kilometers, about one fifth of the distance（距离） around Mars and close to the width（宽） of Australia.

Mars is much colder than Earth because it's farther away from Sun. The highest temperature can reach 20℃ while the lowest can be as low as —140℃. Just like Earth, Sun gives Mars seasons. However, the seasons that Mars experiences are different from Earth's. For example, when Mars is the farthest from Sun, the southern part of Mars experiences a very long and cold winter, about six months on Earth.

Mars lies farther from Sun than Earth does, so the Red Planet has a longer year— 687 days compared to 365 for our home world. However, the two planets have similar day lengths, 24 hours and 40 minutes for Mars and 24 hours for Earth.

Mars is far from Earth and it's not an easy planet to reach. But many countries like the USA, Russia, China and Japan are always trying to send people there. Robots have got the tickets to Mars and it's believed that Man will get the tickets by the 2030s, although it is still a big challenge now. And scientists say it will take at least six months for people to travel to Mars.

Do you usually try to reduce waste by collecting objects that can be recycled? Do you often help people around you raise awareness（意识） about the environment?

Su Yige, a vlogger（视频博主） on Bilibili, is such a person. She tries her best to protect the environment in her daily life. Su always takes her own bag with her when she goes shopping. Most of the furniture（家具） in her Shanghai home was bought from second—hand store. One day, she got her clothes dirty by accident when eating out. She quickly took out a handkerchief（手帕） from her bag instead of reaching for a paper napkin on the table.

Su says her awareness of avoiding waste comes from her parents. Although they have little "green" knowledge, her parents live a green life. They won't throw away an object as long as it can still be used.

She hated to see the large number of waste that people around her created every day. She used to believe western people took better care of the environment. She was, then, surprised when she saw mountains of food waste being left outside of supermarkets in Canada seven years ago. She was a student at that time, but she decided to ""step in" and started environmental vlogger（视频博客）.

On Bilibili, Su shares her love for old things and things that can be recycled. She also teaches people to make natural washing powder（天然洗衣粉） and other environmental objects. Her videos has received up to 95.000 likes. Under her influence, many young people have changed their lifestyles. Ding Nan from Fujian province, for example, has said goodbye to all bottled drinks and has been carried a reusable plastic box with her wherever she goes.

Now, by exchanging suggestions with her fans and other environmental vloggers, Su has continued to avoid creating waste and has helped more people to do so as well. She wants people to know that a greener life can be enjoyable, too, once one has gotten used to it.
