Helping the environment and protecting our resources are very important activities. There are several ways that you can help protect this planet we call home.
Use reusable bags. Plastic bags that get thrown out end up in landfills or in other parts of the environment. Also, it takes decades for the bags to decompose(分解). There-fore, whether you are shopping for food, clothes or books, use a reusable bag. This cuts down on litter and prevents animals from getting hold of them.
Instead of buying individually packaged drinks, consider buying a reusable water bottle. Not only will this help protect the environment, but it will also help you save money. A lot of coffee shops, Starbucks, for example, even offer a discount to customers who use a reusable container for their drinks.
Save electricity. Use energy-efficient light bulbs(灯泡)instead of regular bulbs. What's more, make sure you turn off lights, the TV, and other devices when you are not using them. Turn off your air conditioning or heat when it's not necessary. This is especially true as the seasons change. Open your windows in the early fall or put on more clothes in the early winter.
Save water. More water is wasted than we realize. Turn off the water tap when you are brushing your teeth. Don't turn your shower on until you're ready to get in and wash your hair. Limit your water usage as you wash dishes.
A. Use reusable drink containers.
B

C. And students without doubt can make a difference.

G. Developing these habits will be good for both the environment and your wallet.
