Nature Loving Kids
Here at Nature Loving Kids, we know how much you want to make a positive (积极的) difference to our world! So, read on to find out how to protect our earth...
Save energy and water!—On a fine and clear day, hang things outside to dry! This saves energy that would have been used on the dryer (烘干机). —If you can, try cycling, walking, or using public transport to get out and about, instead of using the car. —Turn the taps (水龙头)off while brushing your teeth, and take short showers of four minutes or less! Be friendly to wildlife!—Make your garden wildlife friendly! You could build a bee hotel, or even create a pool.—If you own a cat that goes outdoors, put a bell around its neck so that vulnerable wildlife can hear it coming and make their escape!
Reduce, reuse, recycle!—Before you throw something away, stop and think about what else it could be used for! Be an advocate (倡导者)!—Share your knowledge with others, and help them become eco-heroes too! It takes lots of people working together to make changes happen—so share, share, share!
What else can you do to make the world better
Now, get out there and save the world — you can do it!

Need to buy something Why go to a store Buy it on the Internet! Need it now Why wait Ask for next day delivery! Each day, more and more people try online shopping. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists say online shopping is bad for the environment.
People are surprised to hear this. “They think, ‘I don't need to drive, and the business doesn't need to build a store, so there will be less pollution, '” says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. “In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution. ”
In truth, the Internet is not always as environmentally friendly as it seems. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy products such as televisions, computers, and furniture. These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.
Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask for next day delivery, companies have to send them by air. Planes use much more fuel than cars and produce more carbon dioxide(CO2). When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by plane.
The online product return is also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size. This doubles the packing material and number of plane trips required to sell one pair of shoes.
“People need to ask themselves:Is this exactly what I want Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?” says Prost. “Online shopping is fast and easy but we can't forget the negative effects it has on the environment. ”

Boyan Slat has been dreaming of cleaning up the world's oceans for a long time.
In 2010, he went on a diving (潜水) vacation in Greece and was shocked. “I saw more plastic bags than fish in the water,” he said.
From then on, Slat began to pay more attention to ocean pollution. He decided to give up higher education and set up the Ocean Clean up, a non government organization. Its purpose is to clean up ocean rubbish. He has set up the world's first ocean clean up system (系统) with his team.
Every year, over 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans, and it can take up to 500 years to break down. In 2018, the World Economic Forum predicted that the weight of ocean plastic would match that of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. Sea animals easily get caught in plastic. They can't move. They can even die if they eat it. Smaller plastic pieces can also enter the food chain (链) and end up in our bodies.
Slat's plan was to create an environmentally friendly, large system to clear out plastic rubbish from the ocean.
After seven years of tests, on October 2nd, 2019, a machine called System 001/B came out. It successfully caught and collected a large amount of plastic rubbish floating in the ocean. Slat and his team are working to improve System 001/B. Their dream is to clear out 90 percent of all the ocean plastic by 2040.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
( )31.What did Boyan Slat care more about after his vacation in Greece
A. Diving. B. Plastic bags.

( )32. How long does it take to break down 8 million tons of plastic
A. More than 7 years. B. Up to 30 years.
C. Less than 40 years. D. About 500 years.
( )33.From the prediction of the World Economic Forum in 2018, we can learn ________.
A. little pollution ends up in the ocean
B. ocean plastic pollution is serious
C. animals prefer plastic
D. people like sea food

A. It collected much plastic rubbish in the ocean.
B. It dealt with all the rubbish in the ocean.

第三节
Hello! I'm Helen! Today, Mr. Chen asks us to discuss what we can do to live a green life.
Michael stands up quickly and says that more and more families have owned cars. And this causes serious air pollution. So he often rides a bike to school. Sally agrees with Michael. She thinks it's wise for people to choose public transport. Her mom used to drive her to school, but now she often takes a bus. Paul also gives a good way to be a greener. He advises us to take shorter showers to save water. Jim tells us not to forget the waste, such as used paper and water. He always asks his friends to protect the environment by recycling the waste. I think their ideas are very good. In my opinion, we should remember to turn off the lights when we leave our classroom.

六、 To Be a Good Traveler
The winter holiday is coming. To make everyone have a good trip, I want to talk about how to be a good traveler.
As for ways of transportation, we'd better choose public transport. It's good for the environment. Besides, I suggest protecting the environment by never throwing rubbish everywhere. We shouldn't pick up the flowers or walk on the grass. It's not good to write or draw on any things. What's more, it's also a good idea to take part in volunteer activities. For example, we can help children in poor areas with their study.
In addition, we should be friendly to others and respect the local culture and customs wherever we go. And in public, we are supposed to wait in line and shouldn't talk loudly.
To be a good traveler can help build a better society. Let's try our best.
