How about trying to send e-cards instead? * Don't throw away your old batteries. Maybe you do not know that old batteries make the Earth dirty. This is because they have poisonous parts. So, don't throw away batteries. Keep them together. Try to use rechargeable batteries for your games and CD players. * Donate all your unwanted clothes. There are many poor families in China.
