How to protect our environment
Hello, everyone. As we know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse today.
Water is polluted. There is less clean water left on the earth. Many trees are being cut down and there are more floods and droughts. Some factories are pouring dirty air into the sky and the air pollution is very serious. There is lots of white rubbish everywhere. Many people died of diseases.
In order to live a better life, we should protect our environment. We shouldn't throw away rubbish everywhere. We should recycle things. Don't use plastic bags. We must plant more trees and stop people from cutting them down without permission.
If everyone pays more attention to our environment, there will be less pollution and our life will be better.
“ There is only one earth.” I hope everyone will protect our environment well. Thanks!
