The earth is our home. There are some ways that you and your family can use to help the planet and make a difference.
①Use less water. Take shorter showers. A 10-minute shower or a full bathtub（浴缸） can waste a lot of water. Also, turn off the tap as you brush your teeth. Use less water in the garden and let the rain clean cars.
②Avoid wasting food. Don’t take more than you can eat. About one-third of in some areas is thrown out or wasted.
③Care and repair. Take good care of things you own and they will get a long life. If they break, try to repair them. If you can’t repair them, call a repairman. Producing new goods will add CO₂ to the air.

④Use reusable bags. Use plastic and paper bags more than once. When you go shopping, use cloth bags instead of plastic bags.
⑤Use fewer paper cups. Use reusable cups instead of throwaway paper cups if necessary. If you use more paper cups, you will produce more rubbish.
