In recent years, plastic pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems around the world. Many countries have been looking for ways for a better future. On November 7, 2022, China started a “bamboo instead of plastic” activity with the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan(INBAR, 国际竹藤组织). This will hopefully increase the use of green bamboo products and reduce(减少) plastic pollution.
Bamboo is a renewable natural resource(资源) of great value. Unlike trees which usually need so long time to fully grow, bamboo can be harvested(收割) in 3 to 5 years. Bamboo can be used to produce different kinds of products. These products can take the place of plastic products in many fields, such as packaging(包装), building and daily things. Even a new bamboo washing machine has been invented in some poor areas where people don’t have electricity or money to buy traditional washing machines. It uses the natural flow of the water as power to run the machine. It’s believed that bamboo is a harmless material. It doesn’t cause any pollution when it has to be thrown away.
China is one of the countries with the richest bamboo resources in the world. The Chinese are a pioneer in the use of bamboo. Provinces Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou have set up companies to produce and develop bamboo products. What’s more, China is also sharing its technologies and experience to help other countries with rich bamboo resources. It is hoped that countries will work together on green development around the world.
1. When did China start the “bamboo instead of plastic” activity (no more than 4 words)
2. Why did China start the “bamboo instead of plastic” activity (no more than 16 words)
3. What is China sharing to help other countries with rich bamboo resources (no more than 8 words)

However, the pitch (音高) is too high for people to hear, ” said Lilach Hadany, a professor from Tel Aviv University.

In recent years, plastic pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems around the world. Many countries have been looking for ways for a better future. On November 7, 2022, China started a “bamboo instead of plastic” activity with the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan(INBAR, 国际竹藤组织). This will hopefully increase the use of green bamboo products and reduce(减少) plastic pollution.
Bamboo is a renewable natural resource(资源) of great value. Unlike trees which usually need so long time to fully grow, bamboo can be harvested(收割) in 3 to 5 years. As long as it is protected well, bamboo can be cut every year and doesn’t have to be replanted. Bamboo can be used to produce different kinds of products. These products can take the place of plastic products in many fields, such as packaging(包装), building and daily things. Even a new bamboo washing machine has been invented in some poor areas where people don’t have electricity or money to buy traditional washing machines. It uses the natural flow of the water as power to run the machine. It’s believed that bamboo is a harmless material. It doesn’t cause any pollution when it has to be thrown away.
China is one of the countries with the richest bamboo resources in the world. The Chinese are a pioneer in the use of bamboo. Provinces Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou have set up companies to produce and develop bamboo products. What’s more, China is also sharing its technologies and experience to help other countries with rich bamboo resources. It is hoped that countries will work together on green development around the world.
1. When did China start the “bamboo instead of plastic” activity (no more than 4 words)

Starting from me and now
Last weekend, I went to the city park with my classmates. When we got there, we were amazed that there were different kinds of rubbish on the ground. We felt very sad about that. The city is our home, so we should try our best to keep the city clean.
First of all, don’t throw rubbish around or spit anywhere. Second, we are supposed to be friendly and helpful to others. Third, we ought to obey the traffic rules. Don’t ride too fast or play on the street. Last but not least, remember to save energy.
As long as we try our best and starting from me and now, I believe Suzhou will become more and more beautiful.
