"When it comes to the earth, there is no time to waste," says the Earth Day Network. And that is right. Protecting our environment is very important, and World Earth Day was created in 1970 to ask more people to protect our environment. On April 22, people around the world celebrate Earth Day.
Every year there's a special topic, and in 2016 it is "Trees for the Earth", so Earth Day that year was all about planting trees. They planned to plant 7. 8 billion trees.
That's a big goal, and you might wonder why trees are so important. Because they can take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and improve the air quality. CO2 is a chemical in our atmosphere, but humans make too much of it, which is bad for the environment.
Well guess what! Planting new trees is important because people cut down a huge number of trees. Once there were about 3 tillion trees in the world, about 139 billion in China. But according to China Daily, the world's total number has been almost cut in half since human civilization (文明) began. That's because 15 billion trees are cut down every year.
So we need to plant more to make up for (弥补) the ones we lost. One tree can take in 18. 3 kilograms of CO2 per year. And it's still one of the cheapest and best ways to get rid of CO2.
But don't forget that we can also help the environment by cutting down on how much energy (能源) or water we use every day. Every little thing helps.
As you know, homework is a big part of going to school. Luckily, here are several suggestions for you to make homework easy.
Make a homework plan
Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to spend even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule(进度表), especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school.
Watch where you work
A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But don't study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there.
Take a break
Most people's attention (注意力) don't last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive(多产的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people.
Get help when you need it
Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class, some subjects seem too hard. The first person to ask for help is your teacher. He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand. However, this might not give you the results you want. Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it.
