1 目前有些校园内浪费现象严重; 2 浪费的危害; 3 从我做起,杜绝浪费。 Reduce Waste on Campus
查看答案 Reduce Waste on Campus Nowadays, waste is quite prevalent and serious on campus. Food is thrown away simply because it doesn’t taste good. Newspapers and magazines are discarded, because they have been read. What is worse, students seem to be quite accustomed to such waste and don’t have a feeling of guilt. Waste can do much harm. Our country has the largest population in the world and suffers from a shortage of natural resources. It is crucial for us to make full use of what we have, or else, the resources will soon run out, and we will have nothing left for the next generations. Waste is certainly making matters worse. Second, waste may contribute to a habit of extravagance, which is not good at all. We Chinese people have the good tradition of being economic, and are indignant about waste of any kind. Therefore, all of us should reduce waste. We can try to eat up a meal. We may give our old books to those who need them, instead of throwing them away. Also, we should form the notion that waste is quite shameful. As long as all of us take action, waste will surely be reduced.
