1970 was "World Conservation Year". The UN wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger. They hoped that government(政府) would act quickly in order to conserve (保 護(hù)) nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1 300 different plants,  trees and flowers in Holland,  but now only 860 remain. The others have , been de¬stroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth,  the air and the water,  and everything that grows and lives here. We can\'t live without these things. If it continues like this,  we shall destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask "What must we do now?" The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. They plant trees,  build bridges across rivers in forests,  and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometers of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called NO ONE\' S GOING TO CHANGE OUR WORLD. It was made by the Beatles and other singers. The money from it will help to con¬serve wild animals.

Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work.” But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.

A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Do we have too much food? According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

Chinese people are well known for being generous(慷慨的). Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired(開除) because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and agreed that it was not right to waste food.

What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips:

1. Do not order(點(diǎn)菜) too much in a restaurant. Only order what you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.

2. Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.

3. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.
