We all know that recycling rubbish is very important. But sometimes it is not so convenient when we can't find a recycling bin anywhere.

Now a team of middle school students from the US has solved that problem by designing their Recycling Bin App(应用程序).

This app encourages people to recycle. Lt provides users with a map of local recycling centers. And it allows them to save places as favorites on it. This app also reminds users to recycle.

The group of nine sixth-graders is from STEMC enter Middle School. They came up with the idea as a part of a school project for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. Their school provided professional app training. It gave 10 teams Samsung tablets as prizes.

The challenge wanted to develop students' interest in science, technology and engineering. In this contest, students showed an app design that could solve a problem in their school or city. The nine students came up with the idea for Recycling B in when they saw a need for more recycling.

"We thought that this would really help a lot of people, "Jaden Hilkemann, 12, told Time for Kids.

They kept their design easy so that anyone could use it. Now the free Recycling Bin App has been put into use in the Google Play App store for Android phones or tablets.

"I was so excited when it went up at the app store, "Seralyn Blake, 12, said. " A lot of my family members downloaded the app. It was pretty cool. "

As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can't see fish1in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink.

Recently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is 2every corner of our country. The meaning of low carbon is3 energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can't wait4my ideas on how to promote it.

First, we should5a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. 6 the no-car day, neither students 7teachers are allowed to drive to school. At the same time, just walk or run. Use our8and enjoy the fun.

Second, we had better not use plastic bags9. No one can stand the" white pollution", 10it is wise to use cloth bags which can 11_again and again.

12, one thing 13 we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details. So, as students, we ought to turn14the lights the moment we leave, use 15 sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.

All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these: no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let's do it now.
