1.Recycle textbooks
As we know,when senior students graduate from school,most of their textbooks,which are still in good condition are thrown away.What a great waste it is!Thus,here comes a heated debate on whether we should recycle textbooks.
Some people are the opponents because they think there is a danger for students when using the recycling textbooks with many bacteria on them,which are bad for children’s health.Furthermore,notes on the pages made by the students may disturb the next users.As for Printing Industry,Publishing Industry and other related ones,it is a big loss in making profits.
On the other hand,however,many more people think recycling textbooks is a good suggestion,which I quite agree to.For one thing,recycling textbooks can save a lot of natural resources and reduce waste.Besides,a cut in the expenses means less stress for the parents,especially for those relatively less rich ones.And for students,it is also a useful way to develop a good habit of reading and taking care of books,to cultivate the sense of social responsibility of valuing common property and promote the awareness of treasuring natural resources.As a matter of fact,recycling textbooks is very popular with some foreign countries such as Australia,which has set a good example to us.
Therefore,recycling textbooks is not only necessary but also helpful.
2.Recycle textbooks
We should take effective measures to put the policy of recycling of textbooks into real practice,says an article in Dazhong Daily.The following is an excerpt:
The Ministry of Education said on Monday that starting this spring,a system of recycling textbooks will be established in rural primary and secondary schools,which means some textbooks will be given to students by the schools free of charge at the start of a term and be returned at the end of the school term so that they can be used by other students.
The idea of recycling textbooks was raised several years ago.Now,it has become a regulation.If we want to make it work,we must do three things.
First,we must cut off the profit chain between publishers and education bodies.The key reason the system was not adopted previously - huge economic interests.
Second,we must solve the hygiene problem regarding recycled textbooks.Despite the benefits of recycling,some parents and students have kept questioning the hygiene problem.The textbooks should not become a source of diseases.
Third,we must boost the supporting measures.Textbook recycling is a complicated process,it is not a simple matter of collection and reuse.For instance,how do we deal with problems like the refusal by some parents to the use of these textbooks,and student damage to the books?
