Symptoms of waste in our soceity are not difficult to find. Lotsof foods on table which could not be eated at a time are thrown away casually. Besides， new clothes deemed out of fashion are also discarded by people. Last but not least， people without habits of turning off the faucet or power switchin time abound in our life， they waste water and electricity without evenrealizing it. Such careless waste can mostly be attributed to the absence of the consciousness of thrift. People today place a higher value on exploiting resources，while they overlook conserving and economizing resources. There is an old saying in China，waste is shameful， thrif noble.Definitely， China has always been a country which celebrates thrift and distastes waste. If this trend is to be left unfettered， it will not only waste financial and material resources，but also damage Chinese traditional virtue or even impair the interests of our future generations. Perhaps， it is about time we began to address this issue.(172 words) 在我们的社会中，浪费的现象并不难发现。满桌的没有吃完的食物被人们随意的扔掉;再者，崭新的却被认为跟不上时尚的衣服也被人扔掉了;最后，那些没有及时关掉水龙头和电源开关习惯的人在我们生活中大量存在，他们在毫无意识的情况下浪费了水和电。这些漫不经心的浪费大多数可以归结为节约意识的匮乏。现在的人似乎更重视开发资源，而忽视了保护资源和节约资源。 |
