Stray cats (野貓)must have been eating like kings during holidays as they climb into the garbage bins behind some best restaurants and search for the food that people left．

Holiday dinners are times of family，friends and food…，lots of food! A meal can usually last for hours．And if there are guests，there will be even more dishes as the host wishes to show his generosity．At family dinners，most of the leftovers (吃剩的飯菜）will be eaten later，but at big dinners，the leftovers go straight into the bin．

It’s reported that 50 million tons of food，about one tenth of the total amount of grain (糧食）production of China，is wasted every year．According to China Agricultural University，that’s enough food to feed 200 million people．A lot of this waste comes from big dinners when hosts try to order expensive foods to impress their guests．

Restaurants make a lot of money from these big dinners，but some restaurant owners are shocked at the waste．They’ve started campaigns (運(yùn)動)to encourage people to clean their plates．One restaurant owner says he now gives discounts to people who eat everything they order，and he also offers free bags to take home any leftovers．

A full stomach，they say，is good for the body and good for the soul (靈魂)，but wasted food can be bad for both．So，at festival times，we should order what we want，but eat everything that we order…and let the stray cats find their dinner elsewhere!

There are some easy things you can do to protect(保護(hù)) the environment and the earth. Choose ideas from the list or come up with a few of your own.
● Plant flowers, grass or trees.
●Whenever you visit a park or beach, take away what you bring there----keep rubbish in a bag until you can put it in a dustbin (垃圾箱).
●Turn off the lights, TV sets when you leave the room. This saves (節(jié)約)a lot of electricity.
●Turn off the tap (水籠頭)when you brush your teeth. You can save some water by not letting it run. Also, use a glass cup instead of a paper cup because this saves paper.
●Keep the doors and windows closed in winter to keep warm air in.
●Give your old books and magazines to a library instead of throwing them away.
●Give your old clothes to poor children you know instead of throwing them away.
●Use both sides of paper.
●Stop pouring (倒)dirty water into the rivers or the lakes nearby (附近).
●Encourage all your friends to do the same things you do to help protect the earth.
You don’t have to wait until Earth Day to do these things. Make every day Earth Day.
If everyone makes a contribution (貢獻(xiàn))to protecting the environment, the world will become much more beautiful.
