Question

　　"Green" is more than just a color.It also means taking special steps to protect the environment — the water，the land，and the air we breathe.What can you do? Here's one of the guides to being green：

　　Sometimes people call our society a "throwaway society".That means that we're a little willing to throw away old things and buy new things.Many times，even if you no longer need something，someone else just might.For example，if your baby brother doesn't want his plastic basketball hoop(籃筐)，why not give it to another family who has a little kid?

　　Here are some other ways to reuse the things you have：

　　Use rechargeable(可再充電的) batteries for your laptops，MP3 players，cell phones，and digital cameras.

　　Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable(一次性的) paper or plastic cups.

　　Take your own bags when you go to the grocery store.

　　Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.If you don't like how your tap water tastes，a low-cost filtration(過濾) system could make a difference.Get a reusable water bottle so you can take it with you.

　　Organize an exchange among your friends.What can you exchange? Books，toys，even clothes.It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing lots of things away.
