Being green means protecting the environment in our daily life. The best way to do this is buying green products. But how do we know if a product is really green We need to think about everything of the product.
First, we should look at the materials of the products. Green products are made of natural materials. This is good for our health.
Second, where a product is made and where we buy it are also important. We should try to buy local products, especially food. We can order directly from local farmers. Buying from shops near our homes is also a good idea, because we can go there without driving a car.
Packaging (包装) is another thing we should think about. We should choose products that have glass, paper or other packaging that can be reused or recycled. We should also try to buy products that have less packaging or no packaging at all.
The greenest thing we can do is not to buy unnecessary products. We should only buy things we really need, like food and clothes. If we don’t need something, we should leave it in the shop. This saves money, reduces waste, and helps keep the planet healthy.
In a word, by buying green products, we can help make our planet a better place to live on.

In a video posted by an online vegetable seed (种子) buyer, a couple and their three children show the vegetables that they’re planting on their apartment’s balcony (阳台). The video was shared in a group chat of an online flower store. Growers in the group share what they planted on their balcony. In the group chat, a mother asked if she could get some new seeds for free because her children were becoming interested in growing vegetables at home. Balcony gardening may be more and more popular this year. In April 2022, the sales of seed and products such as soil and gardening tools increased rapidly, according to a report on balcony gardening. Shanghai and Beijing are among the top five cities for balcony gardening. Chilli peppers (辣椒) and tomatoes are the most popular choices, the report added. Balcony gardening is becoming a fashion. Zhang Min is one of the young vegetable growers. She said she has picked small tomatoes three times from her balcony garden, and she added them to her dishes when cooking. “I feel like young people growing vegetables on balconies is as popular as square dancing is for the old,” Zhang said. For children, balcony gardening can help them enjoy nature and develop their sense of responsibility.

Nature is our home. It’s a part of our life. I still remember the time when I went hiking with my family. I got up early to see the sunrise. At first, I walked without difficulties. Later, I felt tired and wanted to give up but my dad kept encouraging me. Finally, I reached the top and saw the sun shining in the sky. I was amazed by the beauty of nature.
Getting close to nature is good for teenagers. It helps us stay closer to plants and animals. Besides, we can relax ourselves after a week’s study.
Let’s enjoy the sunlight and fresh air in nature!
