Is it possible to have a diet(日常饮食)that's both healthy and friendly to our planet?Here are answers to your eco﹣friendly food questions.
Does what I eat influence climate(气候)change?
Yes.The world's food system is responsible for(为……负责)about one quarter of the planet﹣warming greenhouse gases that humans produce each year.That includes raising and harvesting all the plants,animals,and animal products we eat,as well as processing,packaging,and shipping food to markets all over the world.
Which foods have the largest influence?
In general,beef and lamb have the biggest climate footprint per gram of protein while plant﹣based foods like beans,rice,corn and wheat have the smallest influence.Pork,chicken,eggs are somewhere in the middle.
Is there a simple food choice I can make?
Studies have shown that people who eat a meat﹣heavy diet can reduce their food-related footprint by one third or more by moving to a vegan diet ﹣ no meat,dairy(乳制品),or eggs.If you don't want to go that far,just eat less meat.
Can I really make a difference to our planet?
We need more food to feed the world's growing population.One person alone can make only a tiny difference.If many people make changes to their diets,that will start to add up.It will make a greater difference if the world's heaviest meat eaters make some changes to their diets.

Students from Taizhou Middle School,experience farming during their labor course Housework like cooking and washing always ends up at the bottom of many of our 1 to do lists.Some people even think that it should be taken care of by their parents.
However,these life skills are important and should be taught as part of labor education.On June 3.2020,the Ministry of Education (MOE)(教育部) gave a revised (修订后的) course for high schools across the country.Labor education,also called education on the hardworking spirit,ranges from housework to school labor and community voluntary services (社会志愿服务).

According to a survey.primary and middle school students in Chins only spend 12 minutes.day on chores,compared with 72 minutes in the Us,42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.

I'm in trouble. Last week,we had a football match,and we lost.We played well,but one teammate didn't do his best,I think.It was like he wasn't even on the court!Disappointed by his behaviour,I said all this to my best friend.But he told everyone else what I'd said.I'm really angry with my friend- what should I say to him?And should I say anything at all to my teammate? |

Reply There is an old American saying, "Loose lips sink ships. "This means that if you speak too much about something,especially to people who you don't know so well,it'll cause all kinds of trouble.Maybe now you're in this situation.Forget all these unhappy things. Like 13 |

|
Reply Perhaps most importantly,think about your own behaviour.When filled with anger,you would say whatever comes to your mind.You might hurt others.Take a deep breath,calm down,and always remember:think first,speak later. Like 11 |

Reply In my view(观点),you should do what your parents ask.They're much older than you and you should respect them.It's their house you live in and their money you spend! Like 10 |

Reply Here's what you need to do.First,apologise to your teammate.Have a chat with him,and tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking.Then tell your friend you're angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse,but you hope your friendship will move on.

Look at the Earth from.space.Why does our planet look so blue?Its blue because water covers almost three quarters of the Earth's surface.Water is not just an important part of our planet.It is an important part of our body,too.More than half of our total body weight is water.
Our body loses water whenever we exercise or.go to the toilet.That's why we need to drink plenty of water every day.We drink water.We use it to cook,clean,and carry waste out of our homes.Farmers use it to grow vegetables and crops like rice and corn;factories use it to make products.
Since the 1950s,the amount(数量)of water people use has increased by three times.But the water supply(供应)hasn't.Scientists worry that soon there won't be enough water for us,as well as for the animals and plants that share our world.What can we do to help?Use water wisely.
Having enough water isn't our only problem. We also need it clean.
Right now,ships and factories are putting wastes into seas,rivers and so on.Even chemicals that farmers use are running into rivers and lakes.All this pollution can make the water dangerous to drink.It can also harm fish and other water﹣living lives.
We must do something to stop pollution.It's the best way to protect our world's most valuable natural resource(资源).

My name is Ryan and last summer my family and I went to an island for our summer vacation.There were so many fun and interesting things to do on the island,but my favorite was fishing.Every day,my mom,my dad,my younger brother Derek and I went to the beach.We took our little fishing boat with us.Mom didn't like fishing,so she stayed on the beach and read a book.

"There you go,little turtle;now you can swim to your family, "Dad said as he cut the plastic off.Then Derek and I put it back in the water. "I know!We should make a sign about not throwing rubbish into the sea,and put it in the sand on the beach, "I said. "I'll help,too, "said Derek.
