HOW to be a Greener Person?怎样成为一个更环保的人?
2012-04-29范本华
亲爱的朋友们,你想要拯救环境吗?你想成为一个更环保的人吗?你可能无法改变自己的一切,但我们可以从点滴做起,从现在做起。Just do it now!
1. Think Green 绿色意识
Challenge yourself to think about the environment as you live your life. If you shut off lights when you leave the room, turn off your TV when you’re not watching it, you’ll save energy. If you take shorter showers, you’ll save water.
2. Shop Green 绿色购物
Shopping is fun, but buying things you don’t need is wasteful and bad for the earth. Before you buy something, ask yourself how much you’ll really use it. Keep yourself away from buying products with unnecessary packaging (包装); and whenever possible, buy things that were locally made instead of those shipped from far away.
3. Dress Green 绿色着装
Wear green trousers and T-shirts if you want. But what really matters isn’t the colour, it’s how the clothes were made. If you want to help the environment, the best place to find clothes is at a vintage store, but you might not want to buy everything used. No matter where you shop, keep an eye out for products made from environmentally friendly materials like organic(有机的) cotton, which is grown without the use of pesticides (杀虫剂).
4. Study Green 研究绿色
What’s better than learning about the environment? Save it while you learn. It can be as simple as using both sides of a piece of paper before you recycle it, or reusing an old textbook instead of buying a new one.
如果你想要做得更多,在你的学校加入一个环保组织,并鼓励你的朋友也加入吧!
