It is important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:

1. Reduce

If you want to reduce the waste, you should use things wisely. People are cutting down millions of trees to make paper; if everyone uses paper carelessly and throws it out, soon we should not have any trees left. We are also wasting other things and don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities, so it is necessary to reduce the waste.

2. Reuse

You should always think of reusing the things before throwing them away. Give your used clothes or small ones to the poor. Within a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.

3. Recycle

We can recycle bottles, cans and paper easily. By doing this we save lots of time and money. For example, We can send waste coke cans to a factory. Workers smash them flat and melt them, and then the metal things are made for new coke cans.

4. Recover

When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten apples, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you should cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.

5. Repair

If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it instead of throwing the table away. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a “throw-away” society, but the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Everyone should try our best.

Recycling is nothing new. Waste paper, cars and many other things have been recycled and again used in many different ways for many years. It’s only the word that is new. But now that natural materials are becoming more difficult to be found, many countries are looking for other ways of keeping materials.

In the U.S.A., a publishing firm(出版社) has brought out several books on pollution and waste in the United States. The books are made of recycled paper-the paper that has been used as paper before. In this way, several thousand trees are saved. One clever schoolboy has worked out that if every schoolbook in the U.S.A. was recycled, there would be enough paper for fifty packets of peanuts(花生) for every child in the world for five years.

Several firms are experimenting to make containers(集装箱) from a hard plastic which, when the containers are finished, can be used as building materials. If mountains of empty cans all over the world can be changed into building materials, they are not too expensive and there would be a new source(来源) of materials.
