Look for your own way to do something with your kids this year. These ideas will help you and your family get into the activity when it comes to protecting the environment.
Whether (不论) it’s at your kid’s school, a neighborhood park, or other places, let your family take part in an activity to protect the environment on Earth Day. Make your friends or people around you join you together.
For kids who love to play in the dirt, gardening is a natural way to do good to the Earth. Get your kids to take part in planting trees, flowers, vegetables or other plants in your yard. If you choose something like a tree, it will grow year after year to make you know your hard work on Earth Day.
Save water to protect the Earth. Ask everyone to turn off water when they brush their teeth or wash their faces and hands. See who can take the fastest showers and still get clean. Use a broom rather than water to clean the floor.

Different kinds of weather make people feel different. They influence (影响) health, IQ (智力) and feelings (心情).
In the southern part of the United States, it is very hot at sometime and very cold at other time. People in those places often catch a cold when the weather changes in February or March.
