III. We are lucky to live in a rich country where we have many things. However, most of us usually waste some things. Electricity is one thing that we waste most. Lights, TVs, radios and other things are often kept on even when no one is using them. We should turn them off when we do not need them. It takes less than a second to do it.
The second thing that we often waste is water. Fresh water is polluted, so it shouldn’t be wasted. It is only a simple matter of turning off a tap. I am sure anyone can do this if he wants to.
Another big waste is food. My mother used to cook so much food that much of it was thrown away. I told her we had wasted so much food. She thought I was right and now cooks only what we can eat.
It is bad to be wasteful. I found there is a simple way of not wasting things. That is to use only what we need. Do not touch what we do not need. In this way we can stop being wasteful.

W: Well, trees are very important. They make our streets clean and beautiful. We should plant more trees in the city.
M: Right!Trees make our streets less noisy. We mustn’t cut down trees. We need more. Anything else
W: When we do shopping, we’d better use paper bags instead of plastic ones. We should put litter into litter bins and we must keep quiet in public places.
M: Yes, and we should stop factories from producing harmful gases.
W: I agree with you. Nowadays air pollution is getting more and more serious. We must stop factories from producing harmful gases.
M: Thanks for your help, Kathy.
W: You are welcome.

The journey of a plastic bottle
I am a plastic bottle. A week ago, I was on a supermarket shelf. I had a normal life, the same as all my brothers and sisters—other bottles full of water. I felt really happy.
Then a tall woman picked me up and put me in her basket! The woman took me home and put me in the fridge. It was cold, but I soon made friends with the cans and bottles in it. However, only a few hours later, she took me out of the fridge and drank the water inside me. Then she threw me into a litter bin. I have never felt so empty and alone in my life.
Early the next morning, a man took me out of the litter bin. He threw me and the other rubbish into the back of a truck. There were so many terrible smells. Then I was pushed together with the rest of the rubbish. Soon I was completely flat (扁平的). I cannot believe how thin I became.
I slept for a while. When I woke up, I found myself in a terrible place. Everything around me was ugly and had nasty smells. I felt afraid. I kept hoping that I would be moved somewhere else. Then huge trucks came and covered us with a lot of soil (土壤).
I asked another bottle what would happen to us. He said that we would never leave this crowded place, but would have to stay here for thousands of years.
“Why can’t they reuse or recycle us ” I cried.
