How to make our school green.

Title : How to make our school green
During lunch time, lots of food is thrown away by students. And school supplies are also wasted in the class room. These days things like food and school supplies are abundant. That’s why most students don’t know the value of those things.

In order to solve these problems, let’s do these things. First, we should tell the students on lunch duty to distribute the proper quantity that we can eat. Second, we should not leave or throw away our food when we eat lunch. Third, when we are given school supplies, we should cherish them like ours.

By doing these things, we can protect our environment. And these efforts can lead to better life for future generations. Finally, we should keep in mind that protecting the environment is protecting our descendants.

Re: how to make green environment

I would say that lots of food is wasted.

Your thread title was rather sub-standard, keannu. I've changed it to the title of your essay.

Re: how to make green environment

Don't you ever say "throw away food leftover"?
It's returning your tray with leftover or throwing the leftover into a bucket or something. How can you desribe this action?

Don't you ever say "throw away food leftovers"?
It's returning your tray with leftovers or throwing the leftovers into a bucket or something. How [STRIKE]can[/STRIKE] would you describe this action?

Note that we use "leftovers" in the plural when it's a noun. "Leftover" is an adjective. With that correction, that's exactly how I would use it.

After lunch, the kids throw their leftovers into a plastic bucket.

1.During lunch time, lots of food is thrown away by students.
2.After lunch, the kids throw their leftovers into a plastic bucket.

Then, does 1 not make sense while only 2 is correct? What kind of wrong image does 1 give you?

Do you really mean students throw away lots of food (=leftovers, probably) during lunchtime?

 

[probus]

"Throw away food leftover" is unnatural. Native speakers would say "leftover food."

 

[keannu]

This is what I meant.
Lots of leftover food is thrown away.
今日もありがとございますーThanks for your concern again.

That is a bit like saying a lot of rubbish is thrown away- there is redundancy there. If the leftover food is recycled, that's different.

We can see our fellow students ruin the school environment. For example, sometimes students throw away trash recklessly in the school. And they neglect their individual duty on the classroom environment. Also, as these days, school supplies are abundant, most students don’t realize their values, wasting them in the classroom.
In order to solve these problems, let’s do these things. First, we should create a volunteer club and keep the places clean in and around the school. Second, we should do our individual duty hard. Third, when we are given school supplies, we should cherish them like ours.
By doing these things, we can protect our environment. And these efforts can lead to better life for future generations. Finally, we should keep in mind that protecting the environment is protecting our descendants.

1. Is the plural form of "places" proper in this sentence?
2. I meant to say "inside the school and outside(circumferential parts) the school" because students throw away garbage in and out. Is "in and around" proper?
keep the places clean in and around the school.

Several things ate unclear to me. For starters, I'm not sure what you mean by "ruin the school environment". Second, I'm not sure what you mean by "" students throw away trash recklessly". (Do they miss the trash can?) Also, I am not sure what you mean by"they neglect their individual duty".

 

[Tarheel]

When something that used to be scarce is now abundant it has become cheaper.

 

[Tarheel]

I would say you want to keep the place clean if by "place" you mean the school and the school grounds.

 

[Tarheel]

Second, we need to do our individual duty hard.

You need to rephrase that.
