Over the last few years, my family and I have started working towards a greener life. My mum and dad drive less and often take a bus to work. They are careful to save gas when they cook. We recycle things like paper, cans and bottles, and we give old clothes and furniture to charities. In order to save energy, we turn off the lights during the day or when they are not being used.
过去几年，我们一家人开始过更环保的生活。我的爸爸妈妈开车的次数少了，他们经常乘公交车上班。他们在做饭的时候，也会节约天燃气。我们回收利用很多东西，如纸、金属罐和瓶子，我们把旧衣服和家具捐给慈善机构。为了节约能源，我们在白天或者用不上灯时就把它关掉。
Is all that enough? I believe there is a lot more we can do. For example, we will try to use less water by turning off the tap while we brush our teeth, and reusing the washing machine water to flush the toilet. Taking shorter showers will help too, as it will save water. Every member of our family will take part.
我们做的这些够吗？我认为我们还有很多要做的。例如，我们可以在刷牙的时候关掉水龙头以节约用水，洗衣服的水可用于冲马桶。缩短洗浴时间也是一种方法，因为这样也能节约水资源。我们全家都会参与到节约用水这个计划中。
Saving the planet needs everyone's effort. Although each one of us may only do a little, together we can make a big difference. Let's work together to make our planet a better place to live.
保护地球需要每个人的努力，尽管我们每个人能做的很少，但我们的努力加起来就会产生很大的效果。我们一起努力让我们的地球变得美好，我们也可以生活的更好。
