Take care of the environment, starting with me.

On National Day, our family of three went to the Labor Park to play. To the island in the middle of the lake in the park, ah! The air here is fresh, the environment is beautiful and everything is clean. Long green lawn, flowers with beautiful smiling faces, green trees with lush branches, squirrels jumping on the trees and birds singing happily. People are playing in the lake and laughing constantly. The scenery here is picturesque and fascinating.

I am in a good mood, too. Enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way and take photos with each other. How happy we are! Tired of walking, I found a place to sit down, took out the fruit and ate it. My mother asked me to put the fruit peel in a plastic bag and then put it in the trash can together. At this time, an adult roared past us on a bicycle and threw a piece of candy paper on the ground. I stared at his distant back angrily, but I ran to pick it up and put it in our plastic bag. At this time, my mood became heavy. I asked my mother, "That man really doesn't care about the environment. What a beautiful park! He just litters. Mom, I like coming to the park. The ambient air here is very good, but why are there fewer and fewer places like our city! "

My mother looked at me affectionately and said, "Yes! You see, the sky is no longer blue, because cars and industries emit toxic gases, and the air is not fresh or dirty. This river is no longer clear, because it is polluted by industrial production and domestic discharge. There are fewer and fewer birds on the trees, because people cut down trees indiscriminately, resulting in fewer and fewer trees. Small animals are gone because their homes are gone. If we don't care and protect the environment, we will be punished by nature. If this goes on, it won't be long before the whole earth will become bare and there will be no animals and plants except people. In the end, mankind will also perish. "

Dad went on to say, "the quality of the environment is completely in the hands of each of us." We should actively do something within our power. For example, don't litter, don't spit, and care for flowers, trees and small animals. Do green travel, try to walk, ride a bike or take a bus to reduce automobile exhaust emissions. Save water, because clean water is needed. Save electricity because it needs to consume coal to generate electricity. Use less disposable chopsticks and save paper, because they are produced by trees. "

After listening to my parents, I suddenly felt that I had grown up. The earth is where human beings live, and it is everyone's responsibility to protect the environment. As teenagers in the new century, we can only start from me, call on and influence everyone around us, and put an end to and discourage behaviors that do not care about the environment around us. I hope that in our city, the sky is getting bluer and the water is getting clearer every day. The green trees on the mountain are flourishing day by day, and the animals of nature come back to live in our city and live in peace with them.

As long as each of us actively protects the surrounding environment, I believe that one day, the earth will be more beautiful and rich than before. Students, come on!
