There are many ways for us to reduce waste. For example, we can reuse
paper and plastic bags. We can also recycle newspapers, glass, and cans (易拉罐) make new things.
Here are some useful ways to reduce waste.
◆Write on both sides of paper. Many people write on only one side of
their paper. Why not stop wasting the other side? Some students only use half
the pages of their notebooks before getting new ones. Try to use up all the
paper. People often give cards on birthdays or festivals. How about trying to
send e-cards instead?
◆Don' t throw away your old batteries. Maybe you do not know that old
batteries make the Earth dirty. This is because they have poisonous parts. So, don't
throw away batteries. Keep them together. Try to use rechargeable (可充电的) batteries for your game machines and CD players.
◆Donate (捐赠) all your unwanted clothes. There
are many poor families in China, You may ask your mother to collect your
unwanted clothes. Then you can pass them on to those poor children who do not
have clothes to wear. You will feel happy that you are helping someone else.
Also, you can ask if your friends or relatives want them before throwing them
away.
