Introduction
Our planet is changing. We need to help it change for the better and we're asking for your help to do that! There are a lot of things that affect our planet in a bad way but the good news is that everyone can help to reduce them and do their bit for the environment.
Here’s a list of important topics and with them a list of big ways that you can help.
So read on and start protecting the environment today.
Electricity
Energy is everywhere. We use energy to move the mouse for a computer, to jump and shout and walk and run. It takes energy to power a light bulb, and the light that the bulb gives off is also a form of energy called radiant energy. Radiant energy from the sun enables vegetables, plants, trees and us to live and grow! Other forms of energy include heat, chemical energy, kinetic (motion) energy, gravitational energy and nuclear power.
Electricity is a form of energy and this is what powers the TV, the kettle, dishwasher, hairdryer, toaster, remote control, mobile phone, fridge, stereo, electric toothbrush, mp3 player and more!
Detectives – Can you guess how many things need electricity in your house? Take a guess, then go on a detective mission and write down all the things you find. Set up a competition in your family and see who's guess is the closest!
Do you want to know how much electricity the world's human population uses? See our Energy factsheet in the Related Resources below,
Our growing need for energy is one of the problems facing the world today, because producing electricity also produces our next topic – pollution.
When you’re next using electricity think about where it comes from and how you can use less to take the strain off of the environment – here are some simple ways to make a big difference:
On or Off? Leaving televisions, stereos and computers on standby with the little red light showing still uses up electricity, even though they might look like they're turned off. To stop this you can turn them off at the wall. Simple!
Lights out! Turning lights off when you're not in the room (make sure no-one else is too!) can save a lot of energy.
Putting the kettle on Britons drink an amazing 60.2 billion cups of tea a day according to The Tea Council. That's a lot of tea, and a lot of electricity too! That's why it's important to only boil as much water as you need in your kettle. It's best to boil enough water for one cup, not three or five – plus you won't have to wait as long, which is a bonus!
Brrrr The fridge is an important part of the kitchen, it keeps food fresh, cool and healthy! But it
takes a lot of energy to keep cool, so help it by not leaving the fridge door open or putting hot things inside.
Shopping Many products are now helping you to reduce your energy use and your parents’ energy bills! Check new products for their efficiency grade and rating and keep an eye out for the Energy Efficiency Recommended logo.
Harness the sun’s energy – An increasing number of people are fitting solar panels to their houses. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels create electricity from sunlight, which can then be used to power their homes. Solar heating panels make hot water, reducing the need for electricity or gas to heat water or run the central heating system.
Pollution
Pollution is caused when harmful or poisonous substances are released or found in the air, rivers, seas, animals, plants or even our bodies. Now, we live on a strong planet with robust plants and hardy animals and humans – but there’s only so much we can take.
Did you know? Pollution is one of the main causes of asthma, which affects a whopping
1.1million children in the UK
Unless we are using renewable energy sources such as solar panels or wind turbines, producing the electricity that powers our homes and gadgets causes pollution. Some of the petrol or diesel that we put into our cars turns into pollution, which is contained in exhaust fumes. Diesel fumes contain particulates – a fine dust, which is not good for asthmatics, for example.
Car Exhaust“What about cow farts?” I hear you ask. Actually, I didn’t hear and you probably weren’t asking that but yep, that’s right – we can’t leave out the massive impact of farming. The livestock we rear for meat emit more greenhouse gas than all the world’s transport! Actually, it is through their burps and belches – through their mouths that they emit these gases. The greenhouse gas that livestock produce is called methane. Methane, together with other greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide contribute to global warming by acting like a blanket surrounding the whole planet, trapping the sun’s heat within the atmosphere and causing global temperatures to rise.
Chemical waste from factories and sewage works can also cause pollution that can get into our rivers and seas, which soon carry the harmful particles for miles. Litter is considered pollution as it can cause harm to wildlife and disrupt rivers, streams, seas and other habitats. Harmful chemicals can also be found in many household and garden items, from plastics to cleaning products, weedkillers and sprays.
But all is not lost. We can all learn a few little tips to help protect the environment and its future:
How to help:
Don’t drop litter Birds and animals can mistake litter for food. Litter can end up in rivers and block drains, or in the sea and be eaten by fish. Also, some litter will stay around for thousands of years!
Save it! All of the electricity saving tips in the above section will also help reduce pollution.
On your bike Instead of taking the car get your bicycle out or take the ‘shoelace express’ – also known as walking.
Pleasing products Many household cleaning products contain harmful chemicals which are washed down the drain. Encourage your parents to buy eco-friendly products or even make your own from natural substances like vinegar and lemon juice.
Detectives If you spot pollution, such as oil on the beach, report it to the local council. If you suspect a stream is polluted, report it to the Environment Agency.
There’s a lot more to know about pollution and knowing more will help you do more to protect the environment. For more information see the related factsheets below.
Food
We can’t live without it! With more than 7 billion people on earth the demand for food has never been bigger. In the UK alone we spend about lb182 billion pounds a year keeping fed and watered. That’s a lot of food!
The first question is – where is all this food coming from? Our food comes from all over the world – your green beans might come from Egypt, coffee maybe from Africa, perhaps your bananas have travelled from Ecuador and apples flew across the Pacific Ocean from New Zealand. All of these ‘food miles’ amounts to a lot of transport and transport means fuel and fuel means pollution.
What else does food need to grow? Water and good soil! Plants and trees that give us fruit need to eat too you know. Some countries and farms add pesticides and insecticides to food to keep away pests and insects. These chemicals can sometimes be harmful to wildlife and their habitats and sometimes to humans too. Look at ‘How to help’ to find out more.
Here in the west we eat 7 times more than people in poorer countries. And one thing we eat a lot of is meat and dairy food. What do these foods have in common? Meat and dairy food both come from animals, and animals also need food and water. And as we saw just now, they also burp a lot! Livestock belches produce a greenhouse gas called methane and all this amounts to 20% of the world’s climate-changing gases. Phwoar! A suggested alternative to meat is insects – Insect Burger anyone?
How to Help:
Grow your own growing your own food is fantastic way to learn more about and appreciate the hard work that goes into our food – and its healthier too!
Reduce your mileage eating food and drinking drinks produced in the UK reduces the carbon footprint of your diet. This means that you are helping to reduce pollution! Look at the for little red tractor on products in your supermarket.
Meat Free Mondays are an easy and effective way to cut down on meat. Make one or even two of your days meat-free.{环保类文章}.
Eat organic organic foods have had no insecticides and pesticides added to them which makes them that bit more natural and healthy. Eating organic food reduces how many chemicals are made and spread across the countryside.
Get worms! Food waste is an important issue as 7 billion of us munch our way through millions of tonnes of food. Give your leftovers to worms in your very own wormery and they’ll turn it into rich and healthy compost for your vegetable garden and flowers!
Washing Always wash your hands before eating to prevent the spread of invisible bad stuff like bacteria and chemicals. It’s also good to wash fruit and vegetables before eating or cooking. For more information see our factsheets – Meat Free Mondays, Future of Food and The Yippittee issue on Food Glorious Food.
Water
Turn on the tap and there it is. Getting water is so easy that you’d be mistaken for thinking that there was an endless supply. But the world has a water shortage. 70% of the world is covered in water – we should call our planet ‘ocean’ not ‘earth’! But most of this water is salt water, leaving only a small percentage of fresh drinking water. Countries including Spain, Italy, Peru, China and South Africa actually import water from exporting countries such as the US, Australia and Argentina. A staggering 1.1 billion people on earth have no access to clean drinking water. This global shortage is predicted to get worse as global temperatures rise.
Every person in the UK uses about 150 litres of water a day – compare this to some countries where they only have 5-10 litres! Poor countries would be shocked to hear that we use drinking water to flush our toilets. There are many simple ways that we can reduce our water use. Let’s have a look at how you can help:
How to help:
Get your teeth into it We brush our teeth twice a day and by turning the tap off while we brush we can save 5-10 litres of water. If every adult in the UK did this then we’d save enough water for 500,000 homes. So, kids – let’s show them how it’s done!
Bottle in your loo What? Put a bottle in your loo? That’s right. If it will fit, fill up a lemonade or cola bottle with water and pop it into your loo’s water tank. Then when you flush and the water fills back up you’ll save a bottle’s worth every time.
Rain Gain Collecting rainwater in a water butt in your garden is a great way of collecting and reusing the water to keep plants healthy in the summer.
Reuse Share bath water with your family to reduce costs and water use. Or, set yourself a challenge to cut down your shower time by 1 or 2 minutes.
Rubbish
Let’s start with a fact. Every year the UK produces 280 million tonnes of waste – that’s about the same as 700,000 fully loaded airliners. We throw away unwanted food, glass bottles, plastic bottles, cans, wrappers, paper and cardboard. Can you think of anything else?
Many of these things are made up of natural resources such as trees, coal, oil and aluminium and one day some of these resources will be used up completely.
Over the last ten years the whole of the UK has come together to do more about this. 40% of all household waste is now recycled compared to just 11% in 2000. Do you recycle at home and at school? Why recycle? Well, this takes us back to the topic of energy. Recycling glass, paper, cardboard and plastic should save the energy it would take to make new paper, glass bottles and plastic containers
According to RecycleNow, recycling in the UK saves more than 18 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year – equivalent to taking 5 million cars off the road. Recycling isn’t a new thing either. During World War II, the British people recycled everything they could to help. Toys were made with scraps of fabric and metal pots and pans were melted down to be reused. So, is all our rubbish really rubbish?
Detectives – We’ve seen some great projects where schools have collected all of their waste and weighed it every week – the results over 1 school year can be shocking! Why not see how much your school, class or family chucks out and try and set targets to reduce the waste.
How to help:
Thinking more about what we waste helps to protect the environment by saving energy, reducing pollution, cutting costs and preserving our natural resources.
Sort it out! Not all of our recycling is taken by helpful dustmen. Unwanted or leftover food such as tea bags and potato peelings can be added straight to a compost heap. Plenty of minibeasts will be on-hand there to help! Little insects help break down food and plant matter and make it into scrumptious soil that plants, trees and other animals love. Many local councils now include compostable waste in their recycling collections.
Recycle Bank Some councils don’t collect plastics or cardboard but there is always somewhere nearby with big recycling banks where you can take them.
Save trees Save trees by recycling your own paper. Paper with a clean side can be made into notepads with a simple staple or a hole to tie a piece of string. These are great for doodles and notes. If you are buying paper, buy recycled paper.
Fashion Statement Give any unwanted clothes to charity shops or to a Salvation Army recycling bank. A lot of our unwanted clothes go to the homeless to keep them warm or alternatively, the clothes are sent to developing countries. There’s always someone who will want that

留在心底的风景
又是一个百花盛开的季节，天空中又出现了五彩的风筝，望着它们，我搜着脑海中的零星碎片，眼前打开的天幕，放映着留在心底的风景。
6岁了，奶奶送给我一个大风筝，看着其他小朋友都被爸爸妈妈抱着，手捧着一个个大风筝去实现自己的飞翔梦，我也撒娇地缠着爸爸放风筝，却不丁换来一句"没长眼睛啊?没看到我正忙吗?滚一边去!"我难过极了， 屈极了，一边哭，一边独自走到一旁的空地。 看 着小伙伴们和他们的爸爸妈妈灿烂的笑脸，我停止了哭泣。来吧，让我也享受一下这快乐的滋味吧!于是，我拿着风筝线狂奔，看着风筝从地上层慢跃过我的头顶， 我自豪极了—不料被脚下的一块小石子绊倒—鲜血、翻着的皮肉混着泥沙，既疼痛又难看。我不觉哭了起来。现在想来，那时的情形无论是谁看到或许都会 生出些怜惜之情来吧?
8岁了，我上了小学。老师说下次活动课让我们放风筝!我又兴奋又害怕—-会有小朋友和我一起放吗?如果又是我一个人，那该多丢人啊! "不怕一万，只怕万一"，干脆先跟同学叶叶约好，让她陪我一起放风筝。
盼呀盼，终于盼到了活动课!当我拿着风筝去找叶叶时，怎么也没料到她早已和另一个女生一起走了!
我快快地来到她面前请求她和我一起放风筝。
"哼，你的风筝那么难看，我才不要和你一起呢!"叶叶一脸的不屑。
幼 小的我，脑海里还不曾有"羞愧"一词，但那时的情景或许只有"羞愧" 才能准确传达吧—-我的风筝很小，上面只凌乱地涂着三条单调的颜色，远不及她们手中的猫头鹰风筝来得好看。算了，不要再在这里丢人了，还是走吧!没有 她，我的风筝一样能飞得很高，尽管我只是一个人。这个时候，自我安慰似乎是我唯一的出路。
我努力地希望自己的风筝飞得高些，再高些。可是，任我怎么努力，它都只在半空中盘旋一会儿便栽向地面。它是不是也感觉自己长得难看，不想跟天上的"天仙"们争宠? 10 岁了，春天的芬芳气息和悦耳的鸟啼吸引着我。我仍旧一个人拿着风筝奔向大自然的怀抱。今天的风，和照而温柔—-或许，上天也会眷顾执 著的女孩吧?我终于在这里帮助风筝实现了飞翔的梦，它在高高的天空望着我—小，却极可爱。远方会不会有人发出这样的感叹"这是谁放的风筝 啊?飞得好高!"
正遐想之际，忽听见来自手心极细微的绳子绷断的声音，手里攥着的风筝线顿时失去了一切力量。抬起头了，看见它飘飘然地离我而去一一
我终于把它送上了蓝天了!我惊呼。
今天，我早已如我的风筝一样，在心灵的天空里，和许许多多朋友们一起 飞得很高很高，但那片来自心灵空间的美丽风景，却灵动地镑刻在我心底的 幕墙之上""
满分理由：
这是一篇运用小说技法创作的富有童话色彩的考场佳作，考生选取一与成长相关的话题

第三是以首尾巧妙的点题呼应来体现文章结构严谨的O文章以"留在心 底的风景"起，又以"那片来自心灵空间的美丽风景"收，前者点题，后者既点 题又点睛，全文结构严谨而又清新自然。
我心中最美的风景
入秋了。
秋的脚步来的不声不响。
这儿的四季并不分明。那些即将在秋的怀抱中死去的老叶们，固执的偎依在干枯的母枝上。可枫叶却是很守时的，褪下绿衣，将自己染成红色。
枫林，红了一片。
在红枫下漫步是惬意的。踩着枯叶，发出“沙——沙”的声响；阳光从叶与叶之间的空隙投下，照在身上，竟有些微痒的错觉；秋风推开树枝上摇摇欲坠的红叶，轻柔的翻起叶毯上夏的馈礼。叶儿们和着秋风在脚边翩然起舞，飘然旋转。
这片普通的树林，因这一抹红，竟凭空增了些浪漫的气氛。行得越深，人的气息便也越重。喧嚷声从耳边弥漫开""
“一人，一半。”稚嫩的童声将我的目光吸引了去。
原来是两个不过七八岁的男孩子。一个手里抓着个小小的冰淇凌，举到另一个孩子面前，一字一句的重复了一遍：“一人，一半！”
身旁的大人们哑然失笑，“这。也要""？”小男孩急了，委屈地撅着小嘴，“老师说，和最好的朋友就要一人一半，不可以小气的""”
他的话音还未落，只见另一个男孩飞快的在冰淇凌上咬了一口，咧开嘴，甜甜地笑开了。一股温暖的气息从他们身上散发开来，似乎把我带回了渺远的童年""
;看啊，夕阳多美""
