Going green makes a big difference in our life. I'm Jessica Wong. Today I'll tell you what my family does every day to save the earth. It's reported that a common family produces more than one ton of rubbish a year. Some of this waste takes hundreds of years to decay. Also, it costs much money to buy new things to take the place of the things we throw away.
In order to protect the environment and save money, my family has recycled everything. On the one hand, we collect used things every day, such as paper, bottles and boxes, and put them into different bins. Then they are sent to a recycling center. Finally, they are treated and can be used again. Recycling will help reduce a lot of waste. On the other hand, we use old clothes to make different kinds of bags. I especially like to use old jeans to make bags. These cute and useful bags are popular with young people. As a result, I open a small shop and set up a website to sell them online.
What's more, my parents and my brother often go to work by bike. If it rains, they'll take the bus. We're also going to grow our own vegetables, raise cows, keep hens and ducks. Soon, we'll be able to have eggs and milk for meals.
What a difference we make for our earth.
