The problems with the environment are becoming more and more serious.You may think it is the government's job to take action and it is difficult for the individual(个人)to protect the environment.In fact, there are several easy things that can be done to make a difference.
You can start your cation by learning to recycle. Although this appears really simple,there are many people who still throw glass bottles and metal cans(金属罐)into their common rubbish bins.Do you notice that our government has put many special rubbish bins in public places?They all have glass and metal recycling signs.If you spend a few seconds washing the cans and bottles and put them into the rubbish bin, you will be on the path to protect the environment.
One more big waste product is newspaper. Most people will take their newspapers and throw them into rubbish bins when they finish reading them.In fact,there are many other things you can do with an old newspaper. For example,newspapers are something useful for a perfect shine.
What else you can do is walking a bit more. Many people usually get into their cars and drive one block to get cola at the local shop.If you walk to the shop,you can not only spend less time,because you needn't try to find a parking place,but you will save money on oil. If you wish to save even more on oil,take the chance to share the same car with others.

Although many people read online,books have not gone out of fashion,In Beijing,Guangzhou and Shanghai,lucky passengers may find books somewhere on the underground.
The Fair,an online publishing company,has put 10000books on the underground,planes and taxis to make people more interested in reading.This project is called "Mobook".
"Mobook" gets its idea from "Books on the Underground",a community project in London.The purpose of "Books on the Underground" is to encourage people to read more.Zhang Wei,the CEO of the Fair also wanted to do something in China. He sent an e﹣mail to Ms. Cordelia Oxley,the leader of "Books on the Underground",describing his plan and explaining the rules of "Mobook". The leader replied to him in just two hours,saying that she thought the idea was great and she would offer help if needed.
But "Mobook" project is a little different from that in London. It has its own online system.People who want to donate books must give their information online. QR code stickers(二维码标签) are then set to their addresses.The book owners should stick them on the books before donating books and readers can know where the books are with the help of QR codes.
"Mobook" is a hot topic.Now thousands of bookworms have already taken part in the project.Zhang Wei said,"I am happy to see more and more people share their views(观点)about the books online and enjoy the happiness that reading brings to them."
