On a cold snowy day, the 15-year old Yeshe Dolkar, living in Nangqen County of Qinghai, was heading down a mountaintop with her family. Suddenly, they saw two snow leopards (雪豹) near the Lancang River. “It was my first time to see them. They look so cool!” Yeshe Dolkar said.
Since the mid-20th century, the area of snow, grasslands and lakes in Sanjiangyuan has become smaller because of climate (气候) change and human activities. Many wild animals in the area have died out. Snow leopards are endangered.
On Jan 24, 2003, China set up Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve (保护区) to better protect the area and the wildlife there. In these years, the population of wild animals has been rising. More than 70,000 Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) now live there. And more than 1,000 snow leopards can be found in the area, higher than the average around the world.
The local people have improved their understanding about environmental protection and have tried hard to look after the environment in Sanjiangyuan over the years. In Nangqen County, the local people still live on selling caterpillar fungus (冬虫夏草) they’ve found in grasslands. They used to carry food with them in plastic bags and leave the bags behind. But now things have changed. The local people offer to pick up waste on the grasslands. People also take their plastic bags and food waste down the mountain after eating. The local environment has taken on a new look.
As young people, we should guard our home, like Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve, and continue to live together with nature in harmony (和谐).

【推荐1】Waste sorting is a problem around
Kinds of waste include:
●Recyclable waste: paper, metal, glass and other thing that can be reused.
●Harmful waste: things like medicine, batteries.
●Wet waste: things that you don’t want but pigs eat, also called household waste.
●Dry waste: things that aren’t wet, recyclable or harmful waste.
A few ways to help you sort waste
① Plastic bags can’t be recycled. Plastic bags may cause a lot of problems in the recycling process. If you have plastic bags, you should put them in the dry waste bin.
② Plastic bottles with caps on can be recycled. With the new recycling equipment, this kind of bottles will go into the recyclable waste bin. However, the bottles filled with air usually take up more transport space. Therefore, you had better squeeze（挤压）the air out of the bottles before you recycle them.
③ Pizza boxes can’t be recycled. Although cardboard itself is recyclable, pizza boxes are not. Why? It is due to the oil.The oil on the boxes makes the paper non-recyclable.

【推荐2】You might not think much about where your garbage goes. But now you might want to know. On July 1, Shanghai had a new garbage sorting policy(垃圾分类政策). People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins. Other cities in China will do the same soon.
Why is garbage sorting a big problem? It’s because there is too much garbage these days. It is bad for our land, air and water. In fact, we can make use of some garbage again. And first, we need to sort(分类) our garbage. For example, if you put an old battery(电池) into the “harmful waste(有害垃圾)’’ bin, people can use it to make new batteries. But if you don’t, the battery will end up somewhere else. Then, it will be bad for the environment(环境).
Can’t factories sort garbage for us? Yes, they can. But it takes many workers to do this and needs lots of money. If we all sort our own garbage, things will become much easier.

The red is for harmful waste; the blue is for waste that can be recycled; the green is for kitchen waste; the yellow is for other waste. The followings are some instructions for you. Glass: Empty bottles without caps can be recycled to make new glass bottles. Warning: Mirrors and light bulbs must not be included in the glass waste. Paper: Newspapers, magazines, boxes must be clean enough to be recycled. Warning: Paper tissues and wallpaper are not recyclable as paper and should be kept separately. PMD waste: Packaging made of Plastic or Metal and drink boxes are used to make new packaging. Warning: Plastic pots (e.g. yogurt pots), plastic bags must not be included in the PMD waste. Harmful waste: out-of-date drugs, used batteries(电池), paint and oil … Besides, if you don’t need your old bikes at all, our school volunteers will collect them.
