Protecting environment are activities that keep the environment clean and use natural resources economically and appropriately. Saying “no” to the use of nylon bags is the way that I do to protect the environment. I do It every day. For example, when I go to the market or buy something at a store or supermarket, in any situation, I often avoid using nylon bags. Family members are well aware of protecting the environment so everyone says No to nylon bags. I don’t do It because of some reasons. Firstly, It devastates ecosystems; plastic bags located in the soil prevent soil from retaining water and nutrients. Secondly, it damages health, especially colored nylon bags . These bags, which contain lead, can contaminate the food inside it, which damage the brain and cause lung cancer. Lastly, it destroys organisms, nylon bags washed down into lakes, oceans kill microorganisms when they swallow nylon bags. To carry something, we can use cloth bags, paper bags or any kind of bag used repeatedly and decomposed biologically instead of nylon bags. Remember that don’t accept nylon bags from seller when buying something. It is a way for us to contribute to protecting the environment |
Bảo vệ môi trường là các hoạt động giữ môi trường sạch sẽ và sử dụng tài nguyên thiên nhiên một cách kinh tế và phù hợp. Không sử dụng túi ni lông là cách giúp tôi bảo vệ môi trường.
Tôi thực hiện việc này mỗi ngày. Ví dụ, khi đi chợ hay mua đồ ở cửa hàng hay siêu thị, trong bất cứ hoàn cảnh nào, tôi đều tránh sử dụng túi ni lông. Những thành viên trong gia đình tôi đều nhận thức tốt về việc bảo vệ môi trường nên ai cũng đều nói không với túi ni lông. Tôi không sử dụng nó vì một số lý do. Thứ nhất, nó tàn phá hệ sinh thái, túi ni lông nằm trong đất khiến cho đất không giữ được nước và dinh dưỡng. Thứ hại, nó gây tổn hại sức khỏe, đặc biệt bao bì ni lông mầu đựng thực phẩm làm ô nhiễm thực phẩm do chứa các kim loại như chì gây tác hại cho não và nguyên nhân gây ung thư phổi. Cuối cùng, nó hủy hoại sinh vật, bao bì ni lông bị trôi xuống hồ, biển làm chết các vi sinh vật khi chúng nuốt phải. Để mang một cái gì đó, chúng ta có thể sử dụng túi vải, túi giấy hoặc bất kỳ loại túi nào được sử dụng nhiều lần và phân hủy sinh học thay vì túi nylon. Hãy nhớ rằng đừng nhận túi ni lông từ người bán khi mua một cái gì đó. Đó là một cách để chúng ta góp phần bảo vệ môi trường |

European Union, almost 100 million citizens of all ages invest their time, talents and money to make a positive contribution to their community by volunteering in civil society organisations, youth clubs, hospitals, schools, in sport clubs, etc. For the Commission, volunteering is an active expression of civic participation which strengthens common European values such as solidarity and social cohesion. Volunteering also provides important learning opportunities, because involvement in voluntary activities can provide people with new skills and competences that can even improve their employability. This is especially important at this time of economic crisis. Volunteering plays an important role in sectors as varied and diverse as education, youth, culture, sport, environment, health, social care, consumer protection, humanitarian aid, development policy, research, equal opportunities and external relations.
