Earth Day is on April 22. Since 1970, it has grown into a global (全球的) event. Setting up Earth Day is a way to show how much we care about the future of our planet. It is also a good time to learn more about the environment and how we can help to protect it.
Earth Day is not just about big events but also about thousands of smaller ones to deal with environmental problems in the neighborhood. Not sure where to start? Some experts (专家) have made a list of 10 things that each person could do to save the environment. Each of us is responsible for acting, even in small ways . We can't say: "The problem is too big, I can't fix it".
If we all do at least five of these following things all the time, we can make a big difference.
●Don't leave the tap running.
● Turn off lights when you leave a room.
● Turn off your computers every night.
●Don't use paper cups, plates or napkins.
●Care for trees, plants and animals.
● Carry a cloth bag for shopping.
● Wash your clothes in warm or cold water, not hot water.
●Only buy electrical products if you really need them
●Eat earth﹣friendly food that is grown of raised as close to you house as possible.
●Tell other people about Earth Day and the ways they can help the environment.
Remember that every day is Earth Day. Anything to help our environment is a perfect thing to do on Earth Day and every day.
