As the diagram shows[1],the percentage of those who felt that they needed to help protect the environment is as high as 96% [2].Very few (4%)felt it was not necessary.More than half of those who took part in the survey had done four of the five activities in the past month.Around 90% had tried to recycle① waste such as glass,metal and paper;and more than two thirds (70%)had tried to cut back on② the use of disposable packaging,such as plastic honey bottles,and butter and yoghurt containers.Also,the majority of③ residents had cycled or walked.
Unfortunately,not as many who took part had taken action④ to save water and energy in their homes.Just under 40%(38%) tried to save water when they were washing dishes or taking showers.Just over half (51%)tried to save energy by reducing the use of air conditioning or turning off lights.
To sum up⑤,it seems that almost all who took part understood the need to help take care of⑥ the environment.Most of them tried to recycle waste,ride bikes or walk,and reduce the use of disposable packaging[3].However,not as many were saving water and energy.This indicates that the residents needed to pay more attention to these two activities.
