Day to day ways to protect our environment

Be mindful of what you throw away. Can it be donated? Can it be saved? Recycled? Composted? The dumpster should be the last resort. So much of what we use can be reused, and not just thrown away. Find out what you can do with all of the things you usually throw out to ensure that you are not wasting things that can be saved. Waste doesn’t magically disappear when you throw it out.

Outaide the English class we have done the project as I thing before, but also we read a book of Marco Polo. I think I have to improve a little of grammar. About culture we have read about some criminals such as Franck Abagnale and David Hampton, and somethings about missunderstandings at travels.
