Friendship Day is a great day for celebrating friendship. It falls on the first Sunday of August every year. Celebrating the festival was firstly started by the US in 1935. But now this doesn’t only happen in the US. People in other countries are interested in it, too.

The idea of spending the day with friends was spread all over the world. With more and more countries joining in the celebrations, Friendship Day became an international festival.

Between 1935 and 1997, Friendship Day didn’t have a symbol（象征）, like Santa Claus for Christmas. However, in 1997, the United Nations named Winnie the Pooh as the world’s Ambassador（大使）of Friendship.

The traditional celebrations include activities such as meeting with friends and exchanging（交換）cards, flowers and gifts. Some people may have parties with their friends. Some may have lunch or dinner together. Others may hang out or go to the movies with friends on this special day. These are popular among all age groups from teenagers to old people.

Although Friendship Day and its celebrations may have changed over the years, the basic idea behind the festival remains the same. People enjoy the moment they spend together and express love and care for their friends.

If you don’t deal with your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill(垃圾場) and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground. The electronic waste you throw away can pollute the soil and groundwater. Other pieces of garbage can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.

Many cities in China have taken actions in recent years. For example, Shanghai announced in July that it would divide the garbage into four groups: recyclable, hazardous(有害的), wet and dry.

Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are called recyclable waste.

Hazardous waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs(熒光燈泡). These things are not recyclable.

“Wet” waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don't want but that pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily explained.

Some waste such as plastic bags, beer bottles and other man-made things will go in the "dry waste” bin.
