And those who volunteered were 66%more likely to be considered to do well in general. Kids aged .12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have pressure than those who didn't. The findings come from information provided by the parents of some 50,000 kids in the United States aged between 6 and 17. About half of those parents reported that their kids did voluntary. work.

①After nearly a decade of enduring the busy and noisy life in Las Vegas, Nevada, my family and I reached a decision to have a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle and a slower pace. We all agreed that moving to the countryside would be the perfect solution.
②After some searching, we found a home in Yucca, Arizona, a small town with a population of less than 1,000 people. However, when I called to ask about the condition of the house, I was surprised to know that there was no electricity available in the area. At first, I almost denied the idea of living here, but then I realized that it was an excellent chance to go green. After careful consideration, we decided to move in on Thanksgiving Day.
③Living off the grid（电线）has been ai n important adjustment for us over the past four months. One of the most educational lessons we have learned is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power, and gas for granted, but now they realize it is necessary to save them. We have made changes such as taking shorter showers, and turning off the water while brushing our teeth. Another thing we have learned is to take up other sustainable practices like recycling, growing our own vegetables, and reusing daily objects instead of throwing them away.
④……
⑤In a word, our decision has not only helped us to protect the environment but also given us a chance to experience a slow life. It has been positive for our family. We hope that even after our children move out, they will continue to keep the habits they have developed while living off the grid.
Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws（吸管）and bags. More and more businesses are changing to paper products. Using paper is considered to be better than plastic. However, it is harmful to the environment, too.
Firstly, paper bags and straws are made from trees. Trees, as you know, are good for the environment. They can slow down climate（气候）change. An increase in the use of paper bags need to cut down more trees.
Secondly, the production of paper things requires more energy and water. About 10percent more energy and four times as much water is used to produce a paper bag than a plastic one. You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water.This seems to be a good idea. However, it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process than to make a newspaper bag. Products made from recycled paper are also often short-lived.
Furthermore, paper products are heavier than plastic ones. That means they require more fuel（燃料）to transport. Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags,while only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags. The increased weight also leads to a larger amount of waste once the bags are thrown away.
Paper products are actually a lose-lose for both the environment and businesses. They are more expensive than plastic products. A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents, while a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents.
The most environment-friendly way is to avoid single-use things altogether. Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again. They are much better than either paper products or plastic products. By increasing the use of these items,you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our earth a greener place!
