1 . Here are some of students’ opinions about waste.

As for me, I believe “Waste not, want not.” As we know, there are still millions of Chinese living in a poor condition. We can never afford waste. Therefore, there is no doubt that saving is still a good habit that we should not give up. I do not like the men who spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know waste is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. |

More and more people are no longer interested in the simple life style, including me. And I feel embarrassed to save the things I used. What I love is the latest fashion. In my eyes, saving is already out of style. |

One of the best ways we students can do in this situation is to recycle the textbooks we are using everyday. There are different ways to do so, such as sending them to a recycling factory, reusing them for other purposes, passing them on to new students and so on. |

The negative effects of waste can be shown as follows. Firstly, it makes some students ask their parents for money quite often, which is harmful to their development. If they don’t learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people” when they graduate. Secondly, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling. Last but not least, just like what Mary said that our country is still poor. |
Now, please remember this English old saying “A penny saved is a penny earned”.

2 . “Finish your food. There are many hungry children in the world, you know.” Did your mom ever say that when you didn’t want to empty your dinner plate? It proves she wasn’t so far off-base and she would agree with the Clean Your Plate Campaign.
Started by non-governmental organizations, the Clean Your Plate Campaign asks people to save food by not wasting anything on the dining table. It was soon joined by millions of people across the country to fight against food wastage.
It is said that every year’s wastage of food in China can be up to 50 million tons, enough to feed about 200 million people for one year.
Our government supports the campaign, too. It has promised to make plans to reduce food wastage and follow a simple working style.
But solving the problem is something that requires effort from everyone. Every person needs to do his part to help reduce food wastage.
* Don’t buy more than you need. If you don’t think you’ll finish the pizza of large size, buy a smaller one.
* If you don’t finish your food in restaurants, take your leftovers(吃剩的食物) away.
*Freeze(冷藏) what you don’t finish eating — food can keep for a while in the freezer and then you don’t have to throw it away.
*Plan on smaller portions(份) when you eat meals, so you can finish what’s on your plate and make your mom proud!
Did you finish meals today? Are you a “Clean-Plate Type”? Join the Clean Plate Campaign and empty your plate.
