A zero-waste life is a lifestyle that hardly creates any rubbish. So, a zero-waste theme store is about 21 people with a number of everyday, practical and pleasant zero-waste products to help them start on a zero-waste life journey.

五、閱讀表達
Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22nd. It was started by Senator Nelson from Wisconsin on April 22nd, 1970. On that day, over 20 million people took part in the very first Earth Day, which was a great success. It was clear that millions and millions of people believed that the Earth was worth protecting and we needed to play a part in it. We live on Earth and we only have one Earth. Today Earth Day is celebrated in more than 190 countries around the world.
Earth Day is a day when we learn about ways to protect the environment. One powerful thing we can all do is recycling. Recycling is a way to reuse certain things to make new things instead of throwing them away. It can help our planet by reducing the amount of waste. Now here’s a tip when we recycle things: we need to make sure the things are clean, dry and not messy. Another amazing way to help the Earth is by saving electricity. The more electricity we use, the more resources (資源) we have to use, which is really hard on the environment. So when you save electricity, you’re really helping out. And it’s so easy to save electricity, like not leaving the lights on in your room, shutting them off when you leave or shutting off your devices ( 設備) before you go out to play. And of course we can also help our planet by planting trees. Trees are important to the environment. They take in gases and release (釋放) oxygen which is needed to breathe. Trees are good for our planet and good for us.
Of course there are many other ways to protect the Earth. A few small actions can make a big difference. Take action right now!
