The world's forests become smaller and smaller.People are still cutting down the trees.Why is this happening？There are two reasons－land and wood.
People need land for animals and crops.And people want wood.Japan，Europe and North America need wood.There，it is used for buildings or it is made into furniture (家具)．
But most places from the forests are not good for animals or crops.The soil(土壤) in the forests is very thin.When trees are cut down，the soil is washed away by the rain or blown away by the wind.Soon there is nothing but sand.Then more land will be needed and more trees will be cut down.

Switzerland(瑞士) is one of the most developed countries in Europe.It is famous as one of the cleanest countries in the world.
The Swiss(瑞士人) think that recycling is important.The government has made laws(法律) which require everyone to recycle.In 1998，the Swiss government passed a law which says that people can not throw away any electronic machines.Instead，people are told to bring old ones，such as televisions，computers and fridges，to special centers when they don't need them.Many parts of the old machines are reused，and only the parts that can't be used are thrown away.
The government also charges(收费) a rubbish bag tax(税)．If people want their rubbish to be collected，they must buy yellow stickers(张贴物) and put them on their rubbish bags.In 2003，47% of all rubbish in the cities was recycled.This included 70% of paper，95% of glass，71% of plastic bottles and 85%—90% of cans.Until recently，people can get a small amount of money when they recycle their bottles.Recycling has become a daily habit for the Swiss.
Everyone should learn from the Swiss，and our country will be clean like Switzerland.
