Write an 800-word essay on the topic of what kind of environment you would like to live in.

The earth is our home and the mother of mankind. We rely on it and explore it. This blue planet is so beautiful, but we have to know: there is only one Earth!

Unfortunately, many people turn a blind eye to this simple and easy-to-understand truth and continue to do whatever they want, regardless of the safety of their home planet. Environmental scientist Qu Geping once said this: "Only change can save the destiny of mankind, and only change can enable our descendants to survive for generations to come." "Change" means environmental protection. You are right, so today there are many people holding placards and shouting empty slogans on the streets, but they have not seen much action. Will the pollution get better in this way? No!

Look, the rivers in our cities are black and smelly; the long queues of cars emit a lot of exhaust gas; the vast green spaces have turned into "concrete forests"; and the crisp bird calls have disappeared. Without a trace. If this continues, China will continue to be short of water resources, the air will become increasingly turbid, and 10% of bird species will disappear this century. We humans are the culprits for the above-mentioned things!

Everyone knows that trees can absorb carbon dioxide, emit oxygen, and purify the air, which are necessary conditions for our human survival. However, some people cut down trees indiscriminately for money, causing excessive water and soil erosion, causing serious damage to the vegetation on the earth, and desertification of oases and cities. Our human survival is threatened. The disposable chopsticks we usually use consume dozens of acres of forest every day. In the eyes of those people, trees seem to have no value except for being used as furniture and building materials. Is there anyone who doesn’t understand what trees mean to us? Our living area is already very small.

If this continues, we may even lose our only land. Also, our mother river, the Yellow River, has seen its bed and sediment content continue to increase in recent years, making it one of the most polluted rivers in the country

We cannot just watch the Yellow River dry up from our hands, so many environmental scholars have studied plans to control Yellow River pollution and tried to improve the water quality of the Yellow River. But without our co-participation, the Yellow River, the cradle of life, will decline and die.

If we continue to destroy the environment unscrupulously, nature will punish us. Those huge floods claimed countless lives. Due to the greenhouse effect, the melting of glaciers in the Antarctic and Arctic caused water levels to rise, and seawater flooded coastal areas, causing heavy economic losses. Isn't this the best proof?

My hometown, Guang Ninh, relies on bamboo eco-tourism to develop its economy. Nowadays, the environment of some bamboo forests is in such a mess that people are complaining endlessly. Bamboo Sea Eco-tourism is the root of our development in Guangning. If the roots are damaged

how can we grow lush branches and leaves and bloom beautiful flowers

Let us Be kind to humans and nature! I wonder if you have read the article "100 Things You Can Do to Protect the Environment". In fact, there are many things we can do. For example, plant a pot of flowers and a tree on Arbor Day; protect wild animals to balance the ecology; cherish water resources and do not dump garbage into rivers; be a small environmental protection guardian and use every green memorial Promote environmental awareness every day, so that green mountains will always be there, green water will always flow, and the soil will always be fragrant... These are all things within our power, why are we unwilling to practice them?

Now, the earth’s ecological environment is deteriorating, and the environmental protection warning bell has sounded. Let us join the ranks of protecting the environment and create a better future where man and nature live in harmony, and let mankind

and nature continue to thrive

Chapter 2: Protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility

Looking around, there are only uneven areas of land, and large tracts of forests have been cut down and turned into wood products for people’s lives. People only seek their own selfish interests, causing groups of animals to become displaced and run to other places.

This is not a false fantasy, this is a bloody fact.

Once upon a time, a large number of animals and plants in the world were extinct, and many more animals and plants were on the verge of extinction. Why is this? This is all because humans cut down trees indiscriminately and destroy the ecological environment. This is the fundamental reason.

Land resources are one of the three major geological resources (mineral resources, water resources, land resources) and are the most basic resources and labor objects for human production activities. The degree of human utilization of land reflects the development of human civilization, but it also causes direct damage to land resources, which is mainly manifested in soil erosion, land desertification, and secondary land reclamation caused by unreasonable cultivation. Salinization and soil pollution, among which soil erosion is particularly serious, is another serious crisis facing the world today. It is estimated that the amount of topsoil loss from the world's cultivated land is approximately 23 billion tons per year.

Some people think that acid rain is a silent crisis and the most serious environmental threat to hit us in history. It is an invisible enemy. This is not alarmist. With the increase in industrialization and energy consumption, acidic emissions are also increasing. They enter the air and form acid rain through a series of effects.

Although red tides have existed since ancient times, with the rapid development of industrial and agricultural production, water pollution has become increasingly serious, and red tides have become increasingly serious. Since the first report in our country in 1933, there have been 194 large-scale red tides in *** till 1994, of which there were only 4 before the 1960s and 157 after 1990. Petroleum pollution has considerable harm to water quality and aquatic life. Oil floating on the water surface can quickly spread and form an oil film, which prevents the water surface from contacting the air and reduces dissolved oxygen in the water. Oils contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, carcinogens, which can harm human health after being enriched by aquatic organisms. Sulfur dioxide is mainly produced by the combustion of sulfur-containing substances such as coal and fuel oil, followed by natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires. Sulfur dioxide is highly irritating to the human body's conjunctiva and upper respiratory tract mucosa, and can damage respiratory tubes and cause bronchitis, pneumonia, and even pulmonary edema and respiratory paralysis. Elderly or chronic patients who are exposed to air with a sulfur dioxide concentration of 0.5 mg/cubic meter for a short period of time have an increased mortality rate, and concentrations higher than 0.25 mg/cubic meter can worsen the condition of patients with respiratory diseases. People exposed to an air concentration of 0.1 mg/cubic meter for a long time have increased respiratory symptoms. In addition, sulfur dioxide can easily cause corrosion, peeling, fading and damage to metal materials, housing construction, cotton and chemical fiber fabrics, leather and paper and other products. It can also cause plant leaves to turn yellow or even die.

Everyone has a responsibility to protect the environment.

Part 3: Protecting the environment is protecting the future

The earth is the home we depend on for survival. It is like a mother, providing us with the resources and conditions for survival. We are the masters of the earth, and we must protect it as we treat ourselves.

Who doesn’t want to make their home better and more beautiful? However, with the development of science and technology, there are more and more kinds of domestic waste, most of which will cause environmental pollution.

For example, if our commonly used batteries are not properly disposed of after use, they will cause great environmental pollution. According to research, one used button battery can make 600,000 liters of water undrinkable.

If everyone throws away a used battery, water will become a luxury product by then.

So, in order to protect the environment, please sort your garbage.

Our country implemented the “plastic restriction order” on June 1, 2008. This approach has enabled our country to save 37 million barrels of oil every year. Plastic bags are very common for ordinary families, but did you know that plastic bags are a major factor in polluting the environment? Plastic bags are made from petroleum, which not only consumes a lot of resources, but also takes 500 years to be decomposed naturally.

So, to protect the environment, please reduce the use of plastic bags.

The recent Global Climate Change Conference held in Copenhagen has once again sounded the alarm.

Although we ultimately failed to achieve the intended results, if we failed to do so, no matter how big the meeting was, it would be in vain. The meeting said that the global average temperature is gradually rising and most of the icebergs have begun to melt. If this continues, the world will be flooded. The current global average temperature has increased by 1.1℃ compared with before. Although it is only a small 1.1℃, this is the "global average temperature"! If the global average temperature increases by 4°C, the temperature in the Arctic and Antarctic will increase by 16°C. By then, big trees will also be seen in the Arctic and Antarctic. Think about it, what will the world be like by then?

In fact, the culprit of these disasters is us humans. According to research, the electrical appliances or other things we use every day emit a large amount of carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide is a major factor in raising temperatures.

If you reduce the use of electrical appliances, carbon dioxide emissions will also decrease. Car exhaust also contains a large amount of carbon dioxide. Parents should always be reminded to take the subway or bus when going to work or traveling, and drive as little private cars as possible, which can reduce a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions. .

Therefore, in order to protect the environment, please reduce the use of electrical appliances and drive less private cars to work or travel.

As the masters of society, it is our unshirkable responsibility and obligation to improve the global environment. If everyone in the world protects the environment and protects the environment every day, we can create a new and beautiful world!
