It may be hundreds of years before they arereally gone in the earth.Many places in China are polluted by ewaste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them.This town is named as “the ewaste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilogramsof ewaste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost. Many of thepoisons in ewaste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air,the earth and the rivers in Guiyu are badly polluted.Luckily, the Chinese government wants the country to change the situation. China has passeda new environmental protection law, the strictest one we have ever had. Computer companies likeLenovo and Dell are asked to take back their old computers.

You may think it isthe government's job to take action and it is difficult for the individual (个人) to protect theenvironment. In fact, there are several easy things that can be done to make a difference.You can start your action by learning to recycle. Although this appears really simple, thereare many people who still throw glass bottles and metal cans (金属罐) into their common rubbishbins. Do you notice that our government has put many special rubbish bins in public places? Theyall have glass and metal recycling signs. If you spend a few seconds washing the cans and bottlesand put them into the rubbish bin, you will be on the path to protect the environment.One more big waste product is newspaper. Most people will take their newspapers and throwthem into rubbish bins when they finish reading them. In fact, there are many other things you cando with an old newspaper. For example, newspapers are something useful for cleaning windows.You can clean windows with newspapers rather than paper towels and window cleaners for aperfect shine.What else you can do is walking a bit more. Many people usually get into their cars and driveone block to get cola at the local shop. If you walk to the shop, you can not only spend less time,because you needn't try to find a parking place, but you will save money on oil. If you wish tosave even more on oil, take the chance to share the same car with others.21．The environment is getting ________.
