Dear friends,
The environmental problems are getting more and more serious nowadays. As students, we should do something to protect the environment.
First, it’s very important to save water and energy in our daily life. Don’t forget to turn off the lights when we leave the room. Second, we are supposed to reuse the plastic bags when shopping. What’s more, we shouldn’t throw rubbish everywhere. Third, we’d better walk, ride a bike or take the bus when we go out. Last but not least, we need to plant more trees and flowers to make the environment more beautiful.
How important it is for us to protect the environment! If we keep doing these things, I believe we will live a better life. Let’s take action from now on.
