Many solutions we seek with regard to achieving sustainability(可持续性) are within our reach. That’s the lesson our school’s Environment Club has learned over the past two years. We’ve reduced the amount of our waste at our school by 25 per cent. ___小题1:___ We have the evidence we need to suggest we are making a difference. If you are interested in leading your school on a similar journey of change, here are some tips. __小题2:___ Examine the garbage can to find out how much of your school’s garbage could be picked out from the waste stream and be reused. We found that more than 80 percent of our waste could have been reused, recycled or composted(制成堆肥). Prepare dustbins there. ___小题3:___ You will find you can cover the cost of the purchase of the dustbins within a few months simply by selling the bottles and other items you collect. Compost the waste. Start a composting system in your school. You may reduce your waste by as much as 50 percent. Be sure to talk with your teachers and your cafeteria staff to get them onside. Share your success. Let your community know what you’ve accomplished. __小题4:__ Ask your teachers if you can talk to their classes, let your parent group know what you’re doing, and present a report to the president of your school. __小题5:___ Whether you spend a few moments in a quiet place or the whole day walking along a beautiful beach, time outdoors will remind you why the work you do for the environment is so worthwhile.
