Going Green is a practical way

47、that teenagers can have a real and meaningful influence in the world. What follows are three simple ways teenagers can go green and change the world.RecycleAccording to a Wire & Twine online article, 63 million newspapers go out to street vendors (攤販), local paper boys, or newspaper dispensers e

48、very day and of those 44 million are thrown away. Recycling the Sunday newspapers alone we could save half a million trees a week.

50、versity, the United States would save 100 billion gallons of water which is enough to offer all homes in New England for about 4 months. The Environmental Defense concludes with the most interesting fact: if the whole population gives up one meal of chicken, the amount of carbon dioxide accumulated

51、(累積的) would be the same amount if more than half a million cars were taken off U.S. roads. So giving up just one day of eating meat is worth the advantages it could bring.Dont drink too much bottled waterThere is a common idea that bottled water is healthier than regular tap water. However, 25% of b

52、ottled water comes from regular tap water which goes through a filter (過(guò)濾). Bottled water companies do not need to list where they got the water from, how they clean the water, or what chemicals their plastic water bottles have. Plastic bottles do not get recycled 90% of the time which results in 1.

53、5 million tons of plastic in landfills which are not easy to decompose (分解). In fact, after considering that bottled water and tap water have few differences, people should use more reusable water bottles.” Just keep in mind what Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful

54、 and committed (堅(jiān)定的) citizens can change the world. Indeed, its the only thing that ever has.”TopicHow teenagers can go greenDefinitionGoing green is a practical way which teenagers can make a 56 to the world.
