There is a lot ants can teach us about working together and thinking about more than ourselves to improve our communities, say scientists. For example, every day million of people drink bottled water and then throw away the plastic containers. But imagine the difference it would make if each person recycled his or her bottle. Like an ant in the colony, each person would, in fact, contribute to the greater good, simply by doing his or her part. So the next time you’re wondering if it’s worth it to recycle that plastic bottle, or volunteer your time, think about the ants in the colony and remember this: your actions matter even small ones, even if you don’t see how. 本次作业不提交,返校后抽查。
