Practising the three Rs is one way to help the environment

An essay by Lê Mai Hà Trang





The environment includes natural factors and man-made ones that are closely related to each other. They surround us and affect our life, production, existence and development of people and nature. Because of these reasons, you should join me in protecting the environment. Practising the three Rs is one way to help the environment.

The three Rs are Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. This rule is part of the waste hierarchy, a process used to protect the environment and conserve resources through a priority approach. Its aim is to get the most practical benefits from products and to generate the minimum amount of waste.

The three Rs – reduce, reuse and recycle -- all help decrease the amount of waste we throw away. It helps conserve natural resources, landfill space and energy. Plus, the three Rs save land and money that communities must use to dispose of waste in landfills

There are many ways to help the environment. Not only big behaviors are important, but also small behaviors help, too. Accordingly, practising the three Rs is the most important way to save the environment.

Make Your Bed and Change the World!

I. Read the following lesson of Admiral William McRaven: Do you want to change your life and change the world to make it a better place? William McRaven is an admiral in the United States Navy and he has some good ideas about how to do this. He says don’t be afraid to try new things that are difficult. Also, he says never give up, never quit when something is difficult. Many people agree that these are very good ideas.  But, Admiral McRaven also has another idea. His idea is very different. He says that you must make your bed every morning to change the world. He gives two reasons for this. First, after you make your bed you will want to do more work, and then more work … and then more work. This is important because you must do lots of work when you want to change the world. Second, sometimes work or school is not easy and you will feel bad – but when you come home and see a beautiful bed, you will feel happy. Then, when you are happy, you will not be afraid to try difficult thing...

A typical week of mine | Hồ Minh Châu

Every weekday morning, my alarm goes off at 7.30 am in the morning. It’s quite late because my school starts in the afternoon. Moreover, I’m a night owl so I prefer to do my work the previous evening instead of waiting until the next morning. My morning routine is very simple. After getting up, I go to the bathroom and have personal hygiene quickly by washing up and brushing my teeth. However, if the weather is hot, I’d like to take a shower early in the morning. After that, I go downstairs and have breakfast with my mom. My school life is quite pressured so after having breakfast, I go upstairs again and start doing my homework and preparing for my lessons in the afternoon. My school finishes at 5.15 pm. My mom usually picks me up because she also finishes her work at the same time. I sometimes help her with house chores when I have no extra classes to go to. In my family, every member shares the housework equally. I prefer to relax after having dinner to do my homework immediat...

WHY DOGS LIVE LESS THAN HUMAN!!!

Here's the surprising answer of a 6-year-old child. Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker‘s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or ...
