Save the Earth at School
Nowadays, it is no doubt that pollution is a serious problem. In this article, I would like to share some solutions to help our Earth.
In our school, bottled drinks lead to a big environmental problem. Every day, our schoolmates buy a lot of bottled drinks before or after lessons. After drinking, the bottles will be disposed into the trash bin. In my observation, each schoolmate buys at least two bottles of drinks every day. Therefore, in one classroom, at least 60 or more plastic bottles are disposed every day.
To resolve the problem, I suggest schoolmates bringing their own water bottles to school. Schoolmates can bring their water or juice with their bottles. Also, when they have drunk up their water, they can refill their bottles at drinking station. Hence, there will be fewer plastic bottles disposed.
Moreover, wasting electricity is another big environmental problem. Every day, our schoolmates switch on the lights when they get into their classrooms in the morning. However, when they leave their classrooms for recess, lunch or other businesses, they always forget to switch off the lights. This bad practice leads to a waste of electricity, produces a lot of heat energy and increases the electricity bill of our school a lot.
There are some solutions to resolve the problem. First, we can write some memos and stick them on the switch to remind ourselves to switch off the lights when they leave the classroom. When we keep doing this good practice, it will reduce heat energy produced by the lights and it can help alleviate the problem global warming.
I hope that the abovementioned ideas can help the Earth and improve our quality of life.
