As time goes on, people have come to realize the importance of protecting the environment. But they can?t deal with everything by themselves. Take small steps, and you can make a difference.

● Shop Green. Shopping is fun, but buying things you don?t need is wasteful and even bad for the earth. Before you buy something, ask yourself how much you will use it, and whenever possible, buy things locally made instead of those shipped from far away.
● Dress Green. What really matters is not the colour. It?s how the clothes were made. So look for products made from environmentally friendly(环保的) materials.
● Study Green. What?s better than learning about the environment? Save it while you learn. It can be as simple as using both sides of a piece of paper before you recycle it. 25. What does the writer want us to do?
