Going Green
Four students are sharing their experience about living a greener life on the school board. Their schoolmates can read the passages and get some advice for their own lives.
A In my free time, I use old clothes that our family don't wear anymore to make other useful things. It's meaningful and environment-friendly. I usually use old jeans to make handbags with different designs. They look very cute. When I go shopping, I often take them instead of the plastic ones. I'd like to share different ways to use old clothes and bring them back to fashion again. |
B In our daily life, there are some good ways to save water. We can begin with small things. While I brush my teeth, I usually turn off the tap to use less water. Taking short showers also helps to save water. In my family, we watch less TV and use low energy light bulbs. I usually shut off all the lights before I leave home. I think it's the best way to save electricity at home. |
C Nowadays, everyone is encouraged to take a bus or the subway to travel around the city. I usually go to school by bike. I can take some exercise and breathe the fresh air on the way to school. I seldom let my parents drive me to school. If I travel on a holiday, I'll choose the green travel properly. In this way, I can help to improve the environment and the traffic condition. |
D It's very important to sort and put the waste into different bins. In my daily life, I do a lot for waste sorting. I learn how to sort the waste online. Then, I sort the waste by preparing some bins in different colors at home. Whenever I see litter or other things on the ground, I pick them up and throw them into the right bins. I also collect used batteries and put them into the bin that contains harmful things. |
