It’s important to learn things about protecting environment. Here’s a 4Rs rule for us.

·Reduce

If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely (明智的). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and then throws it away, soon we would not have any trees left. Some other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with waste in big cities, so it’s necessary to reduce waste.

·Reuse

You should always think of reusing the usable (可用的) things before throwing them away. Give your clothes or things you don’t use to the poor. In a family, you may pass such clothes on to your younger brothers or sisters.

·Recycle

Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money, for example, cola cans are sent to a factory, where they’re smashed flat（压平）and smelted (熔化), and the metal things are made into new cola cans.

·Repair

If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it’s better for you to sell the old ones or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.

You can see waste（浪费）everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源）, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported（据报道） that we will have no coal （煤）or oil to use in 100 years. Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many things to stop waste . For example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom and try not to order more food than we need. Little by little, everything will be changed. We can stop waste one day if we do our best to form（养成）the habit of saving.
