Five Ways to Go Green and Save Green
Climate change is in the news. It seems like everyone's "going green." We're glad you want to take action too. Luckily many of the steps we can take to stop climate change can make our lives better. Let's start now.
Save energy to save money.
Set your thermostat(恒温器)degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to save on heating and cooling costs.
As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes to heat the water.
Unplug (拔掉……的电源插头) electrical equipment when you're not using it.
Save water to save money.
Take shorter showers to reduce water use. This will lower your water and heating bills too.
Plant drought-tolerant (耐旱的) native plants in your garden. Find out about these plants in your area.
Fix a low-flow showerhead. They don't cost much and the water and energy savings can quickly pay back your money.
Walk or bike to work. This saves on gas and parking costs while improving your health and reducing your risk of being fat.
Eat smart.
If you eat meat, add one meatless meal a week. Meat costs a lot at the store and it's even more expensive when you consider the related environmental and health costs.
Purchasing from local farmers keeps money in the local economy.
Avoid bottled water.
Use a water filter (过滤器) to make drinking water instead of buying bottled water. Not only is bottled water expensive but it causes large amounts of container waste.
A. When speaking of something to eat, try local products whenever you can.
B. Our grandchildren and their children will thank us for living green.
C. Bring a reusable water bottle with you when traveling or at work.
D. Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible.
E. Less gas = more money and better health!
F. Move a little nearer to your work.
G. Many plants need little watering.
Life is just like a box. Inside it are happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in it teach us new lessons and make us a better person.
Love
Love plays a key role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel and violent. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care. They tell us what is right or wrong, good or bad. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to the feelings of others. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is shortlived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others gives a certain level of fulfillment. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and Success
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same. We have only one choice—keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be right or dull. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
A. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour B. So the only alternative is work hard today C. But we always tend to take this for granted D. Success lies in trusting yourself E. So let's enjoy every day F. Failure is the path to success G. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness |
