I help my parents to segregate waste. When we cut vegetables, I put the peels in the green bin and waste like plastic goes into the recycling bag. My family uses bamboo toothbrushes. My parents get me many secondhand toys, clothes and books. I feel it is cool to use second-hand items as it helps to protect the environment. For birthdays or parties, children should use paper decorations instead of balloons and streamers, which take time to decompose. Second-hand gifts should be welcome and gifts should be wrapped in newspaper instead of giftwrapping paper.
