E-waste is fast becoming a serious problem around the world. This report will examine this problem and provide some possible ways to solve it.

We live in a society that is producing and using electronics (电子产品) all the time. It is often cheaper to buy new products than to repair old ones. Also, through clever advertising, companies always encourage people to change their old TVs, mobile phones and computers for the latest models. E-waste is created when we throw away old ones. In the EU alone, about 8,700,000 tons of E-waste is produced each year. Sadly, just over 1,000,000 tons is recycled.

Burying (填埋) E-waste or burning it causes serious problems for the environment. Electronics have dangerous things in them. These things can then get into the ground or pollute the air when they are burnt.

In recent years, _________. However, their plans are not always managed properly. Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. Here they are often burnt in public areas, which is very bad for people’s health. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-cycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the rest properly.

Another way is to make producers responsible for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products which are no longer wanted. They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.

As for us, we should try to cut down on E-waste. Change electronics only when we have to.And don’t buy a product just to have the latest model.

E-waste is a serious problem in the modern world. Both producers and users must take actions and try to keep it to the smallest amount.

Remember the story called The Thirsty Crow（口渴的乌鸦）? A smart thirsty crow succeeds in getting water by dropping stones in a bottle. A piece of news in Sweden turns out the story is true.

The news says a Swedish company called Corvid Cleaning is training wild crows to pick up cigarette butts（烟蒂）from the streets of Södertälje, a city not far from Stockholm.

Trash is bad for the environment in many ways. For example, animals (both on land and in the ocean) often mistake trash for food and eat it. Sometimes they even die because of that. Cigarettes are one of the most dangerous forms of trash.

________ Through a machine. The crows are trained to put the cigarette butts into the machine. If the machine makes sure the thing is a cigarette butt after scanning（扫描）it, the crows will get food from it as a reward（回报）. Sounds interesting, right?

According to Christian Günther-Hanssen, the founder of the company, with crows’ help, they don’t need to spend so much on the cigarette butts cleanup. “Crows are known to be one of the smartest animals in the world. They’re easier to teach. At the same time, there’s a lower risk of them eating any trash by mistake,” Christian said.

The crows for the cleaning job are still living in the wild, and they are free to stop the project at any time. If they keep coming back to Corvid Cleaning’s machine with dirty cigarettes, they must be enjoying the food there.

China has made a system of laws to protect the environment. It has helped build beautiful China, according to a work report.

The system includes the Environmental Protection Law and a lot of laws in some other areas, such as the Yangtze River Protection Law, the Yellow River Protection Law, the Black Soil (土壤) Protection Law, the law on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and so on. These environmental protection laws assist with beautiful China.

China protects and improves the environment in which people live. It has made great efforts to prevent and control pollution. Over the past five years, the air quality (质量) has stayed at the good level on 86.5 percent of the days in cities. The country has also made progress in preventing and controlling soil pollution and continued to protect forests, rivers, lakes and so on. What’s more, China has managed to make laws to protect wild animals and plants, provide homes for many animals and teach the public to help them. Animals are friends of humans, and protecting animals is also to protect the home of humans.

A good environment is important to humans. Without the fresh air or clean water, we can’t live on the earth. The Chinese government has taken action to protect both the environment and ourselves.
