    How To Be Green?

What does “green” mean? “Green” is more than just a color. 1.    Why green? Plants are green, and without them the Earth wouldn't be such a lovely home for us human beings. What can we do? Here's a four-step guide to being green.

Reduce It!

2. For instance, a shorter shower means you use less water and less fuel since your house uses fuel to run the water heater that warms up the water.

Reuse It!

Sometimes people call our society a “throwaway society”. It means that we're a little too willing to throw away old stuff(东西) and buy new stuff. 3. . For instance, if your baby brother becomes older and loses interest in his plastic basketball hoop(篮圈), why not give it to another family who has a little kid?

Recycle It!

Recycling has never been easier. Many communities(社区) will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require it. Recycled goods go to a recycling center, where they can be turned into new cans, bottles, and paper.

Enjoy It!

It's true that rubbish and pollution are problems, but the Earth remains a huge and beautiful place that's ready for you to explore.  4.  Go for a hike, visit local nature centers and gardens, and climb up mountains.

But before you travel around the world, take a look at your own backyard. Find a place where you could plant a tree or put in a little fruit or vegetable garden.  5.

 

A.Get out there and get your hands dirty.

B.Turn off the water when you're brushing your teeth.

C.It also means taking special steps to protect the environment.

D.When you use less of something, you do a good thing for the Earth.

E.You can start locally by visiting the naturally beautiful spots in your city.

F.Many times, even if you no longer need something, someone else just might.

G.Then you can watch with pride as your tree takes root and your garden plants grow.
