10．Want to save the environment？You probably can't fix everything on your own，but by taking small steps and keeping the environment in mind every day，you can make a difference，
1．Think Green．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．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．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．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．If you want to do more，join an environmental group at your school，and encourage your friends to join，too．

11．Watching news about the environment on TV can make people feeel terrible．The problems seem so big that it's difficult to imagine how persons can do anything about them．Rebecca Hosking，however，thought differently．
Rebecca is a wilflife camerawoman and she was filming a documentary for the BBC in the Pacific Ocean when she saw something that made her cry-quite a lot of dead birds that had died because they had eaten some plastic that is thrown into the sea each year．Beaches that used to be beautiful were covered with plastic toys，bottles，pens-every plastic thing you can think of．
Rebecca decided she had to do something．Back at home she thought about what she could do to help deal with the problem of throwaway plastic．In her home town of Modbury，she asked local shop owners to stop using plastic bags in their shops．
Plastic bags are used everywhere in the UK．The numbers are amazing．The UK uses are nearly 17，000，000，000plastic bags each year．And the bags can take a very long time to break down because they are chemical（化学物）rather than natural，so each year the sea and the environment become more and more polluted．
To Rebecca's surprise，the shop owners agreed and Modbury became the first plastic bag free town in the UK．Instead，shops offered cotton bags or paper bags．Other towns around the UK followed Modbury's example and are becoming plastic bag free．It won't deal with all of the world's environment problems but it shows that there is something we can do and one person can make a big change with a strong enough decision．
