【推荐1】A wild baby bison (野牛) at Yellowstone National Park had to be killed because of tourists.
The tourists thought that the baby bison looked cold. They put it in their car and drove to a park ranger (管理员) station.
A ranger described the action of the tourists as a “dangerous move” because adult bisons can look after their babies very well and they will attack (攻击) to protect their young.
Park rangers took the animal from the car and set it free. But, sadly, the baby was refused by its family because it had the smell from humans.
Yellowstone National Park explained on Facebook that the smell from people can cause parent animals to refuse to accept their young. The park tried again and again to make the baby bison lives with its parents. After several times they had to give up.
Many people expressed anger at both the tourists and the park.
The park said that they did not have the ability to care for a young bison. They also said that it is “not the task of the park to save animals”.
The tourists were fined (罚款) $110 for touching park wildlife. Park rules say that visitors to Yellowstone should stay at least 22 meters away from all wildlife, and at least 90 meters away from bears and wolves.
One ranger said that Yellowstone recently added many safety signs that say staying near the wildlife there is dangerous to humans and animals as well. Those signs are written in English and other languages.

In most parts of the world, many students help their school protect the environment and make the life better. They join in “environment clubs”. In the environment club, students work together to make the environment clean.

Here are the things students often do.

Turn off the water tap! Do you know that some toilets can waste twenty to forty tons of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small river! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.

No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car—not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember to walk, jump, ride a bike or run on the day. Use your legs! There’s lots of fun.

No-rubbish lunches. How much rubbish do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags. Those bags can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least rubbish. Then, they report them to the whole school!
