Recycling at Home

A year ago, our family decided to produce less rubbish.

一年前，我們全家決定減少製造垃圾。

First, we put three different bins in the kitchen.

首先，我們在廚房放了三個不同的垃圾桶。

One was for paper, one for plastic and one for food.

一個放紙，一個放塑膠，一個放食物。

We also started taking our own bags to the supermarket.

我們也開始自己帶袋子去超市。

Instead of buying bottled water, we used a filter.

我們不買瓶裝水，改用濾水器。

At first, the children often forgot which bin to use.

一開始，孩子們常常忘記該用哪個垃圾桶。

But after a few weeks, it became a normal habit.

但幾週之後，這就變成一個很平常的習慣。

Now we throw away about half as much as before.

現在我們丟掉的東西大約只有以前的一半。

It feels good to do something small for the planet.

為地球做一點小事，感覺很好。
