China’s Double 11 online shopping festival is now getting greener. It has become a test field where some companies are trying to make a difference in lower carbon emission (碳排放).

In 2021, Tmall gave out 100 million yuan worth of shopping vouchers (代⾦券 ). The company encouraged people to buy green products with the vouchers. JD.com also joined in the activity. There were more than 150 million green products at the shopping festival. Besides, JD.com said it would choose cleaner transportation to make the world greener.

ZTO Express also took some action to achieve the goal last year. It handed out more than 11 million recyclable bags, taking the place of about 1.l6 billion disposable (⼀次性的) bags. It was helpful in saving our environment. At the same time, Cainiao gave out 7.5 million eggs to people who took part in the box recycling activity. On the one hand, the old bags can be recycled and on the other hand, customers can get something useful in their daily lives.

There are also signs that customers are becoming “greener” in their shopping habits. For example, most people only buy things they really need instead of the things they already have. “During the Double 11, I bought a coffee maker that is much cheaper than on normal days. The activity of getting new ones with old products can help us avoid wasting money,” said Bi Xin, a customer in Shenzhen.

The shopping festival on November 11th is not only a festival for shopping now. It’s also a useful way to help more people realize what a green life is and then take action.

Summer camps in America are places for children to enjoy the summer holiday and learn new skills, games and experiences. Workers from all over the world will help run(管理) the camp. Each year, we send over 1,100 young people to work in summer camps around the USA. These young people are over 18 years old.

Lead an activity(活动) you love and get money from it.

Summer camps give you the chance to teach American campers what you know. There are places for sports, art, water activities, music, football and many more. We pay you money for your work. You can use the money to travel later.

Camps run for around 9 weeks in the summer months of May, June, July and August but it’s not all work and no play. On your days off(假日), you can visit local(当地的) cities and towns with your new camp friends.

It is an easy way to travel across the United States.

When the camp is finished, you and your friends can travel all over America. You can take a road trip to see more of New York, go to the Niagara Falls, take part in parties, visit the White House or just walk around a beach in Florida with the friends from the camp!
