47、 cant believe his own ears,with a puzzled look on his face. Seeing this,the old woman explains they order only half not because they havent enough money,but because they dont want to waste. Simple as this picture is,it does show us that we shouldnt waste although our living conditions have improved.

Others simply walk away after washing hands,regardless of the taps still running. If everyone behaved like this,what would our future be like? Also,there is no denying that there are still lots of poor people who need our help desperately. So lets say no to wasting and learn how to save and how to reduce waste. Only in this way can we have a more harmonious and sustainable future.
