My family joined an environmental protection club named Green Future—a club to remind people to protect the earth. So our family held an activity "Bottle of Rubbish Task". That means the rubbish needs to be put in a 600 ml bottle. We decided to test our ability and produce as little rubbish as possible.
My father worked online all day, so he didn't produce any paper waste except paper napkins. He made the least rubbish in our family.
My mother cooked and produced plenty of kitchen waste, such as vegetable leaves, eggshells and food bags. What's worse, we couldn't eat up all the food of the dinner that day. So leftovers couldn't be avoided. It was not easy for mom to deal with all the rubbish, but she found a way to put it all into the bottle. How amazing!
My sister, a 16-year-old student, was busy preparing for her exams. She had to use paper to work out math or physics problems. She used only one side of the paper in the past. But from then on, she tried to use both sides of the paper because she realized we were challenging ourselves. She did a good job!
I was different from my sister. I love snacks and drinks. So my rubbish was almost from them. I was highly alert（警觉的）that I must produce less waste. I hardly ever had snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it!
I've learnt a lot from this activity. I realize that everyone can produce less rubbish. We should start with small actions to protect the earth!
