【推荐1】Did you know that each day one person in the US throws away 4.4 pounds of rubbish? Almost every month, we throw away our own rubbish in packaging alone. Packaging (including boxes , bags, etc ) comes to our homes with the things we have bought. Several weeks ago, the TV news said that in a city in Italy tons of rubbish were piled up in the streets, and the smell was rather terrible. What can we do to help? We should get to know the following Rs.

Reduce

To reduce means to make less rubbish. That is one of the first things we all should do for the environment. Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers(可在利用的容器), taking smaller potions (份) at dinner so you don’t waste food when you have had enough, writing on both sides of paper, and using less water when taking a shower.

Reuse

To reuse is to use things again. Think about the bags you get from the store. They can be reused to carry your lunch, to hold your rubbish, or to collect used cans. You can even take them back to the store the next time to carry your things instead of getting a new bag!                    

Recycle(回收利用)

Recycling is an important part of keeping our planet clean and green. It can also save energy. Be sure that you don’t throw things in the rubbish that can be recycled to make something else. Paper, plastic, cans and bottles can all be recycled, but food, electrical waste and mobile phones can’t. When you are not sure whether something can be recycled, go to your parents and teachers for advice.              

Follow the three Rs, and every one of us can do something to save the earth. It is also the best way to save ourselves.

    2     Make a proper (合理的) feeding timetable and follow it to make sure your pet eats healthily. You can also look after your pet well by making sure you clean up after your pet. This means cleaning your pet’s small house or helping it clean its droppings (粪便).     3     Don’t forget to wash your hands after that.

You need to walk your pet dog every day. And you should spend at least ten minutes a day playing with your pet so that it will feel love from you.     4     A well-trained pet will also have less problem when it meets other pets outside of your home.

What’s more, your parents may have their own house rules (规定) for the pet. If you are unclear, you can talk with your parents about the rules and write them down, then put them up on the wall.     5

So you should be careful of decision-making. Making decisions is very important for us. Even one small choice can make a big difference. However, for every choice, big or small, it’s not easy to make the right decision. Here is some advice for you.

Don’t make decisions when you are over-excited, angry, or sad. Staying in high spirits, either positive or negative, can affect your ability to make a good decision. If you can’t stay calm, put off making the decision until you’re thinking clearly.

Most decisions are made better when you have enough information. Do some research to find out as much as you can about your decision.

There are usually many choices for you, so try to make a list of all the choices. And don’t make decisions until you’ve got a full list of your choices. If you have trouble thinking of all the choices, ask your family or friends for help.

The best way to make a decision is to think about how you’re going to feel about it in the future. Warren Buffet’s 10/10/10 Rule can help you make decisions. It’s really easy and you just remember the three questions: How will you feel about your decision in 10 minutes? How about in 10 months? How about in 10 years?

Of course, if a decision you made is finally found to be wrong, remember life is not always what you want it to be.
