Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter to draw you attention to the community lecture concerning garbage classification. As we all know, garbage classification is of great significant for environmental protection. We should try our best make our community an better place.

As is known to us, a large number of wild animals has been killed for their meat. As a result, thousand of animals have either died out and become endangered.

Actually, protect wild animals benefits the animals as well as humans. For an example, if farmers killed too many eagles, their corn and grain would be destroyed by rats. The reason is because with no eagles to hunt rats, their number would increase rapid.

Therefore, all of us must do what they can to protect wild animals. As for me, I have joined an organization in our town which aim is to call on people to protect wild animals and I have taken part several activities.

4 . Masks that helped save lives are proving a deadly danger for wildlife, with birds and sea creatures trapped in the shocking number of thrown-away facial coverings. Single-use masks have been found around pavements, waterways and beaches worldwide. Worn once, the thin protective materials can take hundreds of years to decompose. “Face masks aren't going away any time soon—but when we throw them away, these items can harm the environment and the animals,” Ashley Fruno of animal rights group PETA said.

In Britain, a gull was rescued by the RSPCA after its legs became tangled in the straps of a mask for up to a week. The animal welfare charity took it to a wildlife hospital for treatment before its release.

The biggest impact may be in the water. More than 1.5 billion masks made their way into the world's oceans last year, accounting for around 6,200 extra tonnes of ocean plastic pollution, according to environmental group Oceans Asia.

Conservationists in Brazil found one mask inside the stomach of a penguin after its body was washed up on a beach, while a dead pufferfish was discovered caught inside another off the coast of Miami. French campaigners found a dead crab trapped in a mask near the Mediterranean. Masks and gloves are “particularly problematic” for sea creatures, says George Leonard, chief scientist from NGO Ocean Conservancy. “When those plastics break down in the environment, they then enter the food chain and impact entire ecosystems.” he added.

There has been a shift towards greater use of reusable cloth masks as the pandemic has worn on, but many are still using the lighter single-use varieties. Campaigners have urged people to bin them properly and cut the straps to reduce the risk of animals becoming trapped. Oceans Asia has also called on governments to increase fines for littering and encourage the use of washable masks.

6 . It’s Earth’s birthday! The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old! In honour of our planet, former U. S. Senator Gaylord Nelson decided we needed a special day to celebrate and learn how to care for our environment. He wrote letters to many schools about the day he planned because he knew kids like you would help.

On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was held. Many environmental laws were passed, and people all over the country made promises to protect the environment.

Since then, Earth Day has spread around the world and people are working together to create cleaner air and energy to take care of Mother Nature. Learn how you, your family and friends can start making a difference too!

Earth Day is now celebrated by hundreds of millions of people in more than 180 countries. Here are some ways that you can help re-energize the Earth and celebrate too!

·Visit a nature conservancy(保护协会). Nature conservancies teach us how to preserve our natural history.

·Have an Earth Day block party! Invite neighbourhood kids to plant gardens or trees or pick up trash. Then celebrate your achievements with some Earth Day’ treats and nature music.

·Challenge your family to “go green”. Walk, bicycle, carpool or take the bus to reduce greenhouse gases and get outdoors!

·Wear green, a nature or Earth Day T-shirt to help spread the word about caring for our environment.

·Make a “planet promise” to reduce your energy use and recycle.

We hope you’ll use some of these ideas during the week of April 22 to celebrate and give back to the Earth that gives so much to us.

10 . Panera Bread has announced that it will update its menus with a series of climate-friendly food designed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) that helps inform consumers about how their food choices affect global climate change.

The “Cool Food Meals” sticker (标签) will appear on Panera Bread’s menu to show that the carbon dioxide used to create the ingredients (成分) is low enough to agree with the research published by the WRI, which matches agriculture and food-related emissions (排放) with the reduction in CO₂ emissions needed to meet the 2030 Paris Agreement on climate change.

People are becoming more aware of climate change and its effects, but many still don’t know what they can do about it. Cool Food Meals helps people understand that taking action is as simple as what we eat. A busy parent or a college student—almost anyone—can now go into Panera and by choosing a Cool Food Meal, they are part of a growing group of people who are building a climate-friendly lifestyle.

In some ways, more consumers are looking for more climate-friendly food according to a small survey of 1,000 Americans aged 18-80. 69% of those surveyed said it was important to them that their food should be produced in a sustainable manner. 68% of participants said they tried to stay away from carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and sugar.

Through WRI’s Cool Foods Initiative (倡议), Various cities and universities have signed on to the Cool Foods Pledge (宣言) to try and turn civil food service bodies into ones that reduce the amount of CO₂ in the supply chain.

According to WRI, first data shows that Cool Food Pledge Members have already reduced their food-related emission by 3%, which is beyond the course to reach the reduction aims in line with the Pans Agreement.
