The “Give It Up for Earth Day” encourages people to commit themselves

to giving up actions that are harmful to the environment，such as using

poisonous cleaners.

Throughout the month of April，Canadians are being asked to “Give It

Up for Earth Day！”Earth Day has been celebrated every year on April

22 since 1970.Earth Day Canada's president Jed Goldberg says that as

people become more environmentally aware，they want to find ways to reduce

their environmental influence，not just celebrate one special event.

“Earth Day is a great launching pad for thinking about environmental

action every day，” said Goldberg.“Choosing healthier options，even

for the short term，can lead to thinking about the influence of our

decisions for a lifetime.”

That's the reason behind the “Give It Up for Earth Day” campaign.It's designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the

planet.It challenges everyone to help create a healthier world by making

changes in their daily routine.

“We wanted to plan an action－targeted campaign that will give people

a chance to act on their concern for the environment in a positive

way，”said Goldberg.

The campaign has identified four daily actions that can add up to huge

environmental savings.They include pledging(保证) to turn off the TV，giving up the use of poisonous cleaners，reducing consumption of consumer

products and cutting out meat.

At the end of April，all of the pledges will be recorded and converted

(转化) into the number of TV hours not watched，dollars not spent on

unnecessary items，electricity saved，greenhouse gas emissions(排放)avoided by cutting out meat，and poisonous chemicals produced from

homes and landfills.

“What we're trying to achieve this year for Earth Day is to

give people

a chance to do something that is meaningful and measurable，”said

Goldberg.

whether or not they give accurate e a supportive tone when

pointing out mistakes and correcting misunderstandings.

place students in the roles you feel are best.For most projects，assign

someone to lead the project (team leader)，someone to take notes and

record findings (recorder or secretary) and someone to report the group's

work to the class (reporter)．Help ease students'anxiety of deciding how
