As we know, when senior students finish their school, most of their reference books are thrown away, which are still in good condition. How a great waste it is!
I suggest that students must recycle all these books. On the one hand, recycling them can save a lot of natural resource, which are used to make textbooks. On the other hand, the notes in the books are helpful to whoever need them.
In fact, recycling textbooks has been increasing popular in such countries like America and Australia. We should learn from them, but make every effort to build energy-saving society. In my opinion, it is of much benefit from our present and our future.

Creating good habits can be as tough as breaking bad habits. From my experience, one of the most important factors 1. make forming a new habit hard is that a lot of willpower 2. (require), at least in the beginning, and that alone can prevent many people correctly developing their desired habits.
Now instead of just using willpower and reminding 3. (you) to start the new habit each day, why don’t you just link it to an existing one? I have done 4. experience.
