Environment protection:

Most students today are aware of the 

environmental challenges facing our planet. 

Cutting down on energy use and decreasing 

waste are necessary steps towards curbing 

climate change and preventing energy 

shortages. 

I think for students seeking to make a positive difference on their campuses, the simplest 

and best approach is to follow the three R's: 

Reduce, reuse and recycle.

今天的大多数学生都意识到地球面临的环境挑战。减少能源使用和减少浪费是遏制气候变化和防止能源短缺的必要步骤。

我认为，对于想要在校园里发挥积极改变的学生来说，最简单和最好的方法是遵循三个R：减少、再利用和循环利用

保护环境的具体措施（学生）：

Reduce: Students can reduce waste on 

campus in many ways. They can avoid printing documents of which a hard copy is not 

required. For essays and other documents that do need to be printed, students can use double-sided as opposed to single-sided printing.

Reuse: Whenever possible, students should 

choose reusable products over disposable 

ones. And students can carry a flask or 

thermos instead of buying bottled water.

Recycle: With recycling bins placed in various 

locations across many campuses, it's easier 

than before for students to recycle. On those 

campuses equipped with dual recycling/ 

garbage receptacles, students must be careful

not to throw a recyclable item into the wrong 

slot.

减少：学生可以通过很多方式减少校园浪费。他们可以避免打印不需要纸质文件的文档。对于确实需要印刷的论文和其他文件，学生可以使用双面印刷，而不是双面印刷。

重用：只要有可能，学生应该选择可重复使用的产品，而不是一次性产品。学生们可以携带一个烧瓶或热水瓶，而不是买瓶装水。

回收：在许多校园的不同地点放置了回收箱，学生们比以前更容易回收。在那些配备了双回收/垃圾桶的校园里，学生们必须小心不要将可回收的物品扔到错误的插槽中.

保护环境的具体措施（所有人）：

Low-carbon living is about fighting climate 

change by saving resources and reducing 

emissions of greenhouse gases – and a 

healthier planet is also healthier for us! By 

reducing our carbon footprint, we also lower 

our exposure to harmful chemicals and 

pollutants. (Reduce, reuse, recycle – this is a 

great mantra for low carbon homes.)

低碳生活是关于通过节约资源和减少温室气体排放来应对气候变化——一个更健康的地球对我们来说也更健康！通过减少碳足迹，我们也减少了对有害化学物质和污染物的接触。（减少、再利用、循环利用——这是低碳家庭的一个伟大的咒语。）

a. Energy efficiency in your bathroom – take 

showers, fix dripping taps and don't leave 

water running unnecessarily.

b. Energy efficiency in your kitchen – only boil 

the amount of water you need, microwaves 

can be more efficient than ovens (especially if you are just warming up food) and keep a lid 

on pans (they will heat up faster).

a.浴室的节能——淋浴，修理滴水的水龙头，不要让水不必要地流动。

b.厨房里的能源效率——只煮出你需要的水，微波炉比烤箱更有效率（尤其是当你只是在加热食物的时候），并盖上平底锅（微波炉会加热得更快）
