We celebrated Earth Day in my city last week. The idea of this special day began in the 1960s when life was very different. Few people talked or even thought about the environment. Most people had no idea how dirty our air and water were. This attitude bothered Gaylord Nelson, who was a senator in the US government, and he had an idea. If people around the world knew that the planet was in danger, they might work harder to save it, so he just needed to get their attention. The first Earth Day was just in the United States but it led to events every year all around the world on April 22 or the nearest weekend, depending on where you are.

In my town, last Saturday afternoon lots of people rode their bikes from the park, around the town together and back to the park, taking as much time as they possibly could, so that the cars had to wait. Then we talked to all the drivers in cars which just had one person in them, to explain how wasteful that is and how much pollution it causes. The idea was to make people think about how much they use their cars. In other places, people collected plastic bags for a week and then made a pile of them in the town square. You can do anything as long as it makes people of all ages come together for a few hours and talk about the environment. Last year we had a big music event for young people. Some people said it was a waste of time, but there was information for people to read and announcements between the bands about how to help protect the environment.

Dịch bài đọc:

Chúng tôi đã kỷ niệm Ngày Trái đất ở thành phố của tôi vào tuần trước. Ý tưởng về ngày đặc biệt này bắt đầu từ những năm 1960 khi cuộc sống còn rất khác. Rất ít người nói chuyện hoặc thậm chí nghĩ về môi trường. Hầu hết mọi người không biết không khí và nước của chúng ta bẩn đến mức nào. Thái độ này khiến Gaylord Nelson, một thượng nghị sĩ trong chính phủ Hoa Kỳ, phiền lòng và ông đã nảy ra một ý tưởng. Nếu mọi người trên khắp thế giới biết rằng hành tinh này đang gặp nguy hiểm, họ có thể sẽ nỗ lực hơn để cứu nó, vì vậy anh chỉ cần thu hút sự chú ý của họ. Ngày Trái đất đầu tiên chỉ diễn ra ở Hoa Kỳ nhưng nó đã dẫn đến các sự kiện hàng năm trên toàn thế giới vào ngày 22 tháng 4 hoặc cuối tuần gần nhất, tùy thuộc vào nơi bạn ở.

Ở thị trấn của tôi, chiều thứ Bảy tuần trước, rất nhiều người đã đạp xe từ công viên, cùng nhau đi vòng quanh thị trấn và quay lại công viên, mất nhiều thời gian nhất có thể nên ô tô phải đợi. Sau đó, chúng tôi nói chuyện với tất cả những người lái xe ô tô chỉ có một người trên đó để giải thích việc đó lãng phí như thế nào và nó gây ra mức độ ô nhiễm như thế nào. Ý tưởng là khiến mọi người suy nghĩ về mức độ sử dụng ô tô của họ. Ở những nơi khác, người ta thu thập túi nhựa trong một tuần rồi chất thành đống ở quảng trường thị trấn. Bạn có thể làm bất cứ điều gì miễn là nó khiến mọi người ở mọi lứa tuổi gặp nhau trong vài giờ và nói về môi trường. Năm ngoái chúng tôi đã có một sự kiện âm nhạc lớn dành cho giới trẻ. Một số người cho rằng thật lãng phí thời gian, nhưng vẫn có thông tin để mọi người đọc và thông báo giữa các ban nhạc về cách giúp bảo vệ môi trường.
