What does it mean to be green? "Green" is more than a color. It also means taking special steps (protect) the environment the water, the land, and the air we breathe. (plant) are green, and without them the earth wouldn't be such a lovely home for us human beings.

    Sometimes people, call our society a "throwaway society". That means we are throwing away old things and (buy) new ones. Many times, if you no longer need something, others just might need it. For example, if you are old enough not to play your toys, why not give them to another family has a kid so that he doesn't need to buy new toys? And there will be less rubbish in your neighborhood.

    In order to keep the neighborhood "green" and make waste become renewable resources, the government of Chengdu encourages people to pack (they) rubbish with garbage classi-fication (垃圾分类), then send it to the bank of "junk". The bank of "junk" gives marks to every household according the types of waste, and if they do better in this way, they can get some daily (use) things.

    Through the bank of "junk", not only can a lot of rubbish be changed into recycled resources, and people can get many benefits (益处), but the people can develop habits of reducing rubbish and living (healthy).
