Many of us were raised with the saying “waste not, want not”. None of us, however, can     1     (complete) avoid waste in our lives.

Any kind of waste is thoughtless. Whether we waste our potential talents,our own time, our     2     (limit) natural resources, our money     3     other people’s time, each of us should become more aware and careful. The smallest good habits can make a big difference.     4     is a good feeling to know in our hearts that we are doing our best in a world that is in serious trouble. By focusing     5     saving oil, water, paper, food and clothing, we are playing a part in     6     (cut) down on waste. We must keep reminding ourselves that it is     7     (easy) to get into something than it is     8     (get) out of it. Actually, severe damage     9     (do) to our land recenly in the history of our evolution. It’s time for us to say no to waste so that our descendants (后代)     10     (be) able to develop well. We can’t solve all the problems of waste, but we can encourage mindfulness (察觉).
