When I was 20, I tried to be a vegan because I thought it can help me to lost my weight. And soon I found it was total stupid. These years I begin to think about it again because some other reasons. I read a lot of articles about earth pollution problems like the fashion industry cause a series of pollution problems , or to be a vegan can make earth more healthy.
I began to think about myself. What should
I do for earth? I try to be a vegan or firstly start from eating less meat. I only buy something must-be instead of crazy shopping. I cook my lunch by myself instead of taking away. I avoid to eat or drink outside. I began to learn more knowledge and collect much info about pollution and I also try to persuade people around me not to waste.
I also have many things can do, like always carry a bottle and shopping bag with me, also to attend some volunteer activities. The most important thing is I hope more and more people special for the young people can realize how serious the pollution problems are right now!
When I keep doing these things for a period I find my life start to be greater than before. My mind feel peaceful and happy maybe because I think I am doing something right which are very good for our future life.

When I was 20, I tried to be a vegan because I thought it could help me to lose my weight. And soon I found it was totally stupid. These years I have begun to think about it again because of some other reasons.
I have read a lot of articles about earth pollution problems like the fashion industry causing a series of pollution problems, or how being a vegan can make the Earth more healthy.

I have begun to think about myself. What should I do for the Earth?

I am trying to be a vegan and trying to eat less meat. I only buy necessary things instead of being a shopping animal. I cook my lunch by myself instead of ordering takeaway. I avoid eating or drinking outside. I have begun to learn more knowledge and collect a lot of  info about pollution and I also try to persuade people around me not to waste.

I also have many things I can do, like always carrying a bottle and shopping bags with me, also attending some volunteering activities. The most important thing is I hope more and more people can realize how serious the pollution problems are right now, especially young people !

When I keep doing these things for a period I find my life starts to be greater than before. My mind feels peaceful and happy maybe because I think I am doing something right and good for our future life.
