Question

Do something for your local environment In this issue（期号）, we look at things we can do for our local environment.	3. Cleaner streets for the town In the last few weeks, lots of new bins have been placed along the high street in an effort to keep our town tidy. Our community wardens will be patrolling the street and will fine anyone who drops litter. The fine for littering is £100. 4. One green, one brown and one black Starting this month, we’re introducing a new rule of recycling. Households will be given three bins. The green one is for recyclable rubbish, such as paper, plastic, glass and card; the brown one is for garden and food waste and the black bin is for all other rubbish. New collection time will be announced soon.
1.   70  Do you want to grow your own vegetables or keep a few chickens? Do you think you have green fingers? There are almost one hundred sites available on three-year leases（租赁）. All the sites are available on a first come, first served basis. Interested? Then give us a call. 2. Cycle, don’t drive! Do you drive to work? Could you cycle? We have built lots of new cycle lanes in the last two years. They are clearly marked and you can find a complete route map on our website. Remember, cycling is not only good for the environment but will also help you stay healthy.
