Green Switzerland

绿色瑞士

Kitty's online friend Martina is a middle school student in Switzerland. She is writing in her blog on 5 June,World Environment Day. Here is her article.

基蒂的网友马丁娜是瑞士的一名中学生。在六月五日“世界环境日”这一天她正在写博客。这是她的文章。

I love Switzerland. It is a country with high mountains and clean blue lakes. It is beautiful,and we should try to keep it that way.

我喜爱瑞士。它是一个有着高山和干净蓝色湖泊的国家。它（瑞士）很美，而且我们应该尽力让它一直保持那样。

In Switzerland, things like glass, plastic and paper are separated into different groups and then recycled. Even old clothes and shoes can be recycled I leamt about an organization for recycling clothes. It collects old clothes from all over the country. Some of the clothes are sold in charity shops,some are given to the poor, and others are sent to factories for recycling. My family and I often send our old jeans and T-shirts to this organization.

在瑞士，先把诸如破璃、塑料、纸张等物品分成不同的类别，然后再循环利用。甚至连旧衣服和旧鞋也可以回收利用。我了解到一个回收衣服的组织。它从全国各地收集旧衣服。一些衣服放在慈善店出售，一些送给穷人，还有一些送到工厂循环利用。我和我的家人经常把我们的旧牛仔裤和T恤衫送给这个组织。

Our government has many laws to protect the environment. For example, we are not allowed to cut down trees. Otherwise,we will be punished. If we drop litter in a public place,we will be fined by the police. There are also laws to limit air and water pollution.

我们政府有许多法律来保护环垸，例如我们不被允许砍伐树木。否则我们将会受到惩罚。如果我们在公共场合丢垃圾，我们会被警察罚款。还有许多法律来限制空气和水

污染。

Nature is our greatest treasure. We depend on its rich resources to live,so it is important for us to protect it wisely. Luckily, we are starting to use energy from the sun,wind and water. These new types of energy cost very little and will never run out. Moreover, they produce little pollution.

大自然是我们最大的财富。我们依靠其丰富的资源生存，所以要明智地保护它，这一点对我们来说很重要。幸运的是，我们开始使用来自太阳、风和水的能源。这些新型能源不仅成本低廉，而且用之不尽。更重要的是，它们几乎不产生污染。

Today is 5 June,World Environment Day. What have you done for the environment? Remember that everyone can do something to make a difference!
