Have you ever heard of e-waste, which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?

Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

It’s important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine. The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals can get into the earth or air, effecting the environment and people’s health.

Apple, for example, now recycle people’s used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.

I'm Jane from America. I can not sleep well and I always wake up several times during the night. I know for a fact that there are many other people who have trouble going to sleep, too. So, I've collected some advice I've received over the past few months that have not only helped me get to sleeper faster, but helped me get better night sleeps.

Have regular sleep habits

Go to bed at the same time every night. Try not to break this habit on weekends when you may be made to stay up late. Wake up at the same time every day. If you're getting enough sleep, you should wake up naturally without an alarm.

Turn off your computer

Don't play on the computer for half an hour before you decide to sleep. Studies show that it is bad for the quality of your sleep. Read a book or listen to some light music to prepare your body for sleeping.

Have a nice bedroom

A clean environment helps people to be happy and relaxed. Make sure that you have turned off all light that might come into your room, and that the temperature is comfortable.

Exercise often

Exercising will help you to fall asleep more easily, so walk out for 45 minutes every day and you will sleep better at night. But don't do it just before you go to bed-you won't be able to sleep!

Eat properly

Eat only a little for supper. A full stomach may make it much harder for you to sleep.
