We know our planet is getting warmer. The earth needs help. “What can I do?” you may ask and you may think you are just a kid. In fact, everyone can do something to help. What can you do?
1. Don't ask your parents to drive you somewhere when you could easily walk or ride your bike. The car is one of the biggest causes of the pollution. Getting more exercise is good for your body, too.
2. Recycling means reusing something old to make new things. Newspapers, old magazines, phone books and white paper can be recycled. Recycling a ton of paper can save seventeen trees. Visiting your town's recycling center. Learn the rules and start to recycle.
3. Buying used things is cheaper than buying new things. Sell or give away your used things and toys to those needed. They can use them again instead of buying the new ones. Reuse plastic or glass bottles instead of throwing them away in the trash. Reuse the plastic bags when shopping.
4. Turn off the water when you brush your teeth. Turn off lights, radios, TVs, computers, and other electrical things when you leave the room. When you don't use the computer, shut it down. It saves much electricity if you let it “sleep”.
5. Don't buy single-use water bottles. Use a glass or plastic container(容器) that can be washed and reused. Use a lunch box or bag instead of paper bags to pack lunches for school or picnics.
What we do today affects our future generations. Let's take care of the earth!
As the weather gets warmer, there are few things that are better to do than travel. But traveling might not be that fun for everyone, especially for those who have motion sickness(晕动症).
Motion sickness is also called travel sickness. It is a common experience for many people. Depending on how you travel, it can be called carsickness or seasickness. People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy(眩晕的), like the room around them won't stop turning.
It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become confused with each other, Scientific American reported.
We use different parts of our body to sense movement. Our eyes tell us if we are moving. The inner ears(内耳) contain a special liquid（液体）that helps us sense our direction and balance. Our muscles（肌肉）react to movement.
When you move around, these body parts work well together. But when you are in a car or an airplane, they get confused. Your inner ear gives off the information that you’re moving, but your eyes say you’re sitting still because you can’t see that you’re moving. This mismatch(不适配) gives us motion sickness.
But some people are less sensitive to motion sickness. This may be because they have certain genes(基因) that prevent mismatching senses, Bethann Hromatka, a genetics expert from the US, told the Atlantic.
Although there are many ways to deal with motion sickness, scientists believe that the key is to simply try to get used to it. For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild(轻微的) motion sickness. After a week or two, the astronauts become used to it and don’t feel uncomfortable anymore, Sam Puma, a NASA flight doctor, told the BBC.
