Broadway: Where My Life Happens
Thespian acting and musicals on the stage have always enamored me. Natural, living humans act out memorable roles to take us to faraway places while connecting the in-depth emotions of the characters through the surreal tendrils of music. I love all music, and my collection is eclectic. But in the fullness of life, musicals are where my heart resides by the invitation of writers, actors, composers, and theater venues. Broadway creations are timeless and will exist long after I am gone from this world. This is my limited Playlist of Broadway music interwoven into the critical moments of my life.

Speaking of waste batteries, it can be a big pollution! Within a month of landfill treatment, the metal shell of the waste battery will be corroded and perforated, and the harmful substances in the waste battery will enter a soil and water body, causing pollution to the environment. According to environmental experts test, if six tons of household waste mixed with a mercury-containing battery, when the waste landfill, the concentration of mercury in the soil will exceed the safety standard, it will not be able to grow vegetables; If the waste battery is mixed with household waste into the incineration plant, mercury, cadmium and other metals in it will be vaporized and discharged into the atmosphere at high temperature, which will pollute the atmosphere and affect human health. If a waste battery is put into the water, the water within a few kilometers will be toxic and undrinkable. Therefore, we should learn to collect and dispose of waste batteries. In my life, I often collect some waste batteries, such as: No. 5 battery, mobile phone battery, No. 7 battery and so on. I often put them into envelopes and put them into the bookcase in the living room. Puzzled by my actions, my grandmother would often say, "Hang Hang, what are you collecting these batteries for? "Is it green?" "Go green! If you study well!" Although my grandmother objected, I persisted, and if there were any old batteries, I still put them in envelopes and put them in the bookcase. In this way, I collected for two months, finally can dispose of these waste batteries. Today, we came to RT-Mart shopping mall, in a corner of the counter, there is a plastic box, which is specially collected waste batteries. I put the dozens of waste batteries into the box, I was very happy, because I found a home for the waste batteries. I really hope that if everyone collected and disposed of waste batteries like me, the land and water would not be polluted, and they would be greener and bluer.....
