1. 现在我们国家大力提倡节能环保，宣传垃圾分类，我当然也要积极行动起来，从身边的点滴小事做起，让我们的家园更加的美丽！

1. Now our country is vigorously promoting energy conservation and environmental protection, and advocating for waste classification. Of course, I should also take positive action, starting from the trivial things around me, to make our home even more beautiful!

2. 今天吃好晚饭，妈妈把厨房里的垃圾收集起来，叫我到楼下去倒垃圾。这有什么难的，我都是四年级的小学生了，小菜一碟。我拎着垃圾一蹦一跳就往楼下跑。可到了垃圾桶旁边，我犯难了，四个身穿不同颜色衣裳的士兵”把我难倒了，我该交给谁呢？我思前想后决定回去请教妈妈。

3. 在妈妈的帮助下，我了解了许多垃圾分类的知识。蓝色的是可回收垃圾，绿色的是厨余垃圾，灰色的称之为其他垃圾，最后红色的是有害垃圾。

2. After having a good dinner today, Mom collected the garbage from the kitchen and asked me to take it down to the trash can. What's so difficult about that? I'm already in fourth grade, and it's a piece of cake for me. I carried the garbage, hopping and skipping down the stairs. But when I got to the trash can, I was stumped. There were four soldiers, each wearing clothes of a different color, and I was at a loss as to whom to give it to. After much thought, I decided to go back and ask Mom for help. 3. With Mom's help, I learned a lot about垃圾分类. Blue is for recyclable waste, green is for kitchen waste, gray is for other waste, and finally, red is for hazardous waste.

4. 原来我们会把这些垃圾人往菜园子里一倒，可现在，饮料罐、废纸、玻璃瓶……这些很难腐烂，但还有种解决方案，那就是重复利用，这些垃圾是无毒无害的，扔掉它就等于扔掉了自己手中的宝贵资源，如果重复使用，污染程度可以大幅下降，而可以腐烂的的垃圾倒在菜园子里可以当肥料，但要注意，重复使用要注意消毒，否则第一次使用留下的病菌就会吸收在我们身体内。

4. Originally, we would just dump these trash people into the vegetable garden, but now, things like drink cans, waste paper, glass bottles... these are difficult to decompose. However, there is a solution, which is to reuse them. These waste materials are non-toxic and harmless, and throwing them away is equivalent to throwing away valuable resources in our hands. If reused, the level of pollution can be significantly reduced. And the decomposable waste that is dumped into the vegetable garden can be used as fertilizer. But be aware that when reusing, disinfection should be noted; otherwise, the bacteria left from the first use will absorb into our bodies.

5. 在日常生活中，我们往往可以把看似无用的废物再次合理地利用起来。比如：玻璃瓶是无毒无害的垃圾，但很难腐烂，我们就应该再次利用起来。把它洗干净，画上你喜欢的图案或者用彩纸包装起来，插上一株鲜花，摆放在案桌上，既赏心悦目又节省开支，两全其美。再比如我们经常吃的鸡蛋，剥下来的蛋壳那可是个宝贝，它含有大量的钙，把它碾碎了，洒在盆栽里，成了植物的营养品”。

5. In our daily lives, we often have the opportunity to reuse seemingly useless waste in a reasonable way. For example: glass bottles are non-toxic and harmless waste, but they are difficult to decompose, so we should make use of them again. Clean it, paint your favorite patterns on it or wrap it with colorful paper, insert a flower, and place it on the table. It is both pleasing to the eye and saves expenses, a win-win situation. For example, the eggshells we often eat are actually a treasure, as they contain a lot of calcium. When crushed, they can be sprinkled on potted plants, becoming a nutrient for the plants."

6. 让我们一起参与其中吧，帮垃圾找一个“温馨的家”!

6. Let's get involved together and find a "cozy home" for the garbage!

7. 我会把家里的生活垃圾进行分类，如：家里的厨房垃圾装进一个垃圾袋，生活垃圾装进一个垃圾袋，可以重复使用的垃圾装进一个垃圾袋，楼下的垃圾箱也从原先的一个变成了三个，每个垃圾桶上面都有标志，我把三个垃圾袋按上面的分类丢进不同的垃圾箱。每天早上和晚上都会有专门的回收垃圾的人员来回收的垃圾，他会按照我们分类丢的垃圾来解决。按照这种分类，杭州的空气质量越来越好，污染程度越来越低。

7. I will sort the household waste at home, such as: put the kitchen waste in one garbage bag, general household waste in another, and reusable waste in a third. The garbage bins downstairs have also increased from one to three, with each bin clearly labeled. I put the three bags of waste into the corresponding bins according to the classification. There are special waste collection personnel who come to collect the waste every morning and evening, and they will deal with the waste based on our sorted categories. With this kind of classification, the air quality in Hangzhou is getting better and the level of pollution is decreasing.

8. 我漠然地走开，好象垃圾分类与我无关似的。一路上还哼着小调。刚走出不远，来了一对母子，那弟弟看上去比我还小。只见他一手拿着废本子，一手拽着妈妈的衣袖问：“废本子是什么垃圾”妈妈弯下腰，笑着对他说：“哎呀，儿子你也懂得垃圾分类啦，真棒!废本子属于可回收垃圾。”那小孩“哦”的一声跑过去，飞快地将本子丢进“可回收”桶里。转过头冲妈妈一笑。随后，母子俩走远了。留下我独自一人脸红，发呆。

8. I walked away indifferently, as if垃圾分类 had nothing to do with me. Along the way, I was humming a tune. Not far from where I was, a mother and her son approached, and the boy looked younger than I was. He held a waste notebook in one hand and pulled at his mother's sleeve, asking, "What kind of waste is the waste notebook?" The mother bent down, smiling and saying to him, "Oh, my son, you know about waste classification too, that's great! Waste notebooks belong to recyclable waste." The boy exclaimed "Oh" and ran over quickly, throwing the notebook into the "recyclable" bin. Then he turned around and smiled at his mother. After that, the mother and son walked away, leaving me alone, blushing and staring blankly.

9. 垃圾在我们生活中随处可见，可是不把垃圾好好清理、分类，那么我们的土壤、水质会造成极大的污染，蓝天、白云将会离我们越来越远，所以为了保护我们的生活环境，垃圾分类从我做起。

10. 今天，我刚喝完了一个饮料瓶就随手丢进了厨余垃圾桶，妈妈走过来亲切的对我说：宝贝儿，你知道饮料瓶是属于什么垃圾吗？当然知道啦，是可回收垃圾呗！我自信的说，说完我不好意思的赶紧把饮料瓶放进了可回收垃圾桶，妈妈耐心的说：宝贝儿，垃圾分有四类：可回收垃圾、厨余垃圾、有毒有害垃圾和其他垃圾。废纸、塑料、玻璃瓶、金属物都是可回收垃圾；水果皮、剩饭菜都是厨余垃圾；废电池、灯管、墨盒、温度计、过期药品都是有毒有害垃圾；剩下的就是其他垃圾类了。你知道吗？如果把一块废电池扔在湖里，不到一周时间，生活在水里的生物将会全部死亡，所以看似小的垃圾如不进行正确的分类会对我们的生活带来极大的危害！我惊讶的看着妈妈说：原来垃圾分类这么重要啊！妈妈我以后不会再乱扔垃圾了。我羞愧的低下了头。

9. Waste is omnipresent in our lives, but if we do not properly clean and sort it, our soil and water quality will be severely polluted, and the blue sky and white clouds will become increasingly distant from us. Therefore, to protect our living environment, we should start with垃圾分类. 10. Today, after I finished drinking a beverage bottle, I casually threw it into the kitchen waste bin. My mother came over and kindly asked me: "Sweetie, do you know what type of waste the beverage bottle belongs to? Of course I do! It's recyclable waste!" I confidently said, and then, feeling ashamed, I quickly put the beverage bottle into the recyclable waste bin. My mother patiently explained: "Sweetie, there are four types of waste: recyclable waste, kitchen waste, hazardous waste, and other waste. Waste paper, plastic, glass bottles, and metal objects are recyclable waste; fruit peels and leftover food are kitchen waste; waste batteries, light tubes, ink cartridges, thermometers, and expired medications are hazardous waste; everything else falls under other waste. Do you know? If a waste battery is thrown into a lake, all the aquatic life will die within a week. So, seemingly small waste, if not sorted correctly, can cause great harm to our lives!" I looked at my mother in astonishment and said: "I didn't know that垃圾分类 was so important!" Mother, I won't throw waste randomly anymore. I hung my head in shame.

11. 当然，我们也在分类垃圾中遇到了问题，如：在丢垃圾中丢错了垃圾箱：厨房垃圾的垃圾袋破掉了，导致我们在丢垃圾的过程中垃圾袋中的汤汁滴漏在马路上，这点细致问题我们要在丢垃圾前检查一下垃圾袋有没有破，破了的话在套一个垃圾袋，这样就可以避免这样类似的问题。

11. Of course, we also encountered problems with sorting waste, such as: mistaking the waste bin when throwing away garbage; the garbage bag for kitchen waste broke, causing the liquid from the bag to leak onto the street during the garbage disposal process. Such a meticulous issue requires us to check whether the garbage bag is torn before throwing away the garbage. If it is torn, we should put another garbage bag over it to avoid similar problems.

12. 希望我们能继续保持下去，这样杭州的空气环境可以变得更好!

12. Hope we can keep it up, so that the air environment in Hangzhou can become better!

13. 我的内心泛起一阵一阵的波澜。是呀，为什么一个比我还小的孩子都懂得垃圾分类，而我却不能做到呢我咬咬牙，飞快跑过去，伸出手将我丢的垃圾捡出来，让它“回家”。瞧!那汽水瓶似乎在对我笑哩：“谢谢你啊，帮助我找到正确的‘家’。”

13. A wave of emotions surged within me. Indeed, why does a child younger than me understand waste sorting, while I cannot? I bit my teeth and ran over quickly, stretching out my hand to pick up the trash I had thrown away, and guiding it back "home." Look! That soda bottle seems to be smiling at me: "Thank you for helping me find the right 'home'."

14. 生活中，人们避免不了产生垃圾。垃圾是宝物，可是是个“调皮的宝物”。你怎么对它，它就怎么对你。你对它好，它就造福人类;你对它差，它就祸害地球和人类。所以，垃圾分类是变废为宝的措施。

15. 我们家也进行了垃圾分类。我们家有四个垃圾桶呢。厨房一个，装厨余垃圾;厕所有一个，装不可回收垃圾;客厅有一个，装可回收垃圾;阳台还有一个，装有害垃圾。要知道我们家的垃圾分类却是因为我的一件小事引起的。

14. In life, it is unavoidable for people to generate garbage. Garbage is a treasure, but it is also a "naughty treasure". How you treat it, it will treat you in return. Treat it well, and it will bring benefits to humanity; treat it poorly, and it will harm the Earth and humans. Therefore, waste sorting is a measure to transform waste into treasure. 15. Our family also practices waste sorting. We have four trash bins: one in the kitchen for kitchen waste; one in the bathroom for non-recyclable waste; one in the living room for recyclable waste; and one on the balcony for hazardous waste. You may wonder why our family started sorting waste, and it was all because of a small matter of mine.

16. 生活中，垃圾有我们吃剩的果皮壳、纸屑、零食包装袋……

17. 我们吃完这些零食、水果，剩下的垃圾我们会把它丢进垃圾袋里，再把垃圾袋扔近楼下的垃圾箱里，可是大家知道那些垃圾是怎么消失在世界上的

16. In life, the garbage includes the remains of fruit peels and shells, paper fragments, snack packaging bags, and so on... 17. After we finish eating these snacks and fruits, we put the remaining garbage into a trash bag and then throw the trash bag into the garbage bin near the building. But do you know how these garbage disappear from the world?

18. 其实，垃圾分类的好处还有很多，例如废电池，纸张等都是回收价值很高的东西。你只要在扔垃圾的不经意间作出选择。一个举手之劳，就可以保护我们的环境，减少污染，又可以把废物变成宝，让废物循环再用，真是一举两得。

18. In fact, there are many benefits to垃圾分类, such as waste batteries and paper, which are highly recyclable materials. You just need to make a choice in the midst of discarding garbage carelessly. A simple gesture can protect our environment, reduce pollution, and turn waste into treasure, allowing for the recycling of waste, which is truly a win-win situation.

19. 从那以后，我意识到了垃圾分类的重要性。话说“语言不如行动”我立即向家人和邻居宣传垃圾分类。同时做好自己家的垃圾分类：有害垃圾，不可回收垃圾，可回收垃圾，厨余垃圾。例如塑料瓶就必须丢进可回收垃圾桶，决不乱丢乱放。乱丢乱放就像逃避了自己对环境保护的一份责任一样，有种强烈的负罪感。

19. Since then, I have realized the importance of waste classification. As they say, "Actions speak louder than words," I immediately started promoting waste classification to my family and neighbors. At the same time, I took care of my own household waste classification: hazardous waste, non-recyclable waste, recyclable waste, and kitchen waste. For example, plastic bottles must be thrown into the recyclable waste bin, never to be discarded carelessly. Discarding waste carelessly is like evading a portion of my responsibility towards environmental protection, and it brings a strong sense of guilt.

20. 多施肥料苗儿壮，苗旺自能多打粮。(蒙古族)

21. 从今天起，我们一定要提醒身边的人保护环境、爱护地球，做好垃圾分类，就从你我做起吧！

21. From today on, we must definitely remind those around us to protect the environment, cherish the Earth, and do a good job with waste classification. Let's start with ourselves and you!

22. 记得我7岁的时候，有一天出去玩。那时正值七月，太阳晒得人都快成人肉干了。碰巧经过一家超市，我看见超市里的各种饮品，谗得直舔嘴唇。我掏了掏腰包，刚好2元。我冲进去，买了一瓶汽水，一拉，便“咕噜咕噜”一口气喝完了。前面有一个垃圾桶，我想都不想就随手一扔，扔进了一个“有害垃圾”框。

22. Remember when I was seven years old, one day I went out to play. It was July then, and the sun was so hot that it almost dried people into human meat. By chance, I passed by a supermarket and saw all sorts of drinks inside, making my mouth water. I rummaged through my pocket and found exactly two yuan. I rushed in and bought a bottle of soda, popped the cap, and downed it in one "gulp, gulp." There was a trash can ahead, and without even thinking, I casually threw it into the "harmful waste" bin.

24. 垃圾在人们的眼中也许是一些又脏又臭，毫无用处的废物。但是我知道，如果把垃圾作分类，再经过处理，是可以把废物变成宝的。

25. 当你走在大街上的时候，你会被那些色彩缤纷，形状各异的垃圾桶吸引住，那些就是环保垃圾桶。环保垃圾桶里面分为可回收类和不可回收类两种。

24. Waste may seem to people as some dirty and smelly useless garbage. However, I know that if waste is sorted and processed, it can be transformed into valuable resources. 25. When you walk on the streets, you will be attracted by those colorful and variously shaped trash bins. Those are environmental-friendly trash bins. The environmental-friendly trash bins are divided into two categories: recyclable and non-recyclable.

26. 可回收类里，有我们平时喝得最多的可乐瓶，塑料袋和一次性餐盒等……如果把这些分类好的废塑料处理后，还可以制成纽扣，笔筒，文件夹等有用的东西。还有我们每天丢弃的剩饭残渣，菜叶果皮等厨房垃圾，这些发霉难闻的东西，如果不作分类，随意地摆放，会造成环境的污染，滋生大量的蚊蝇和细菌，直接危害我们的身体健康。但如果把这些垃圾分类好，经过处理，用来制造很好的有机肥料，用来种菜，种花，是很有用的。用它们种出来的蔬菜又健康又好吃。

26. In the recyclable category, there are items we consume the most in our daily lives, such as cola bottles, plastic bags, and disposable food containers, and so on. If these sorted waste plastics are processed, they can still be made into buttons, pen holders, file folders, and other useful items. There are also the leftover food scraps, vegetable leaves, fruit peels, and other kitchen waste we discard every day. These moldy and smelly things can cause environmental pollution if not sorted and disposed of randomly, leading to the proliferation of mosquitoes, flies, and bacteria, which directly harm our health. However, if these kitchen waste items are sorted and processed properly, they can be used to produce excellent organic fertilizer, which is very useful for planting vegetables and flowers. The vegetables grown with this fertilizer are both healthy and delicious.
