22

What can we do to protect our earth?

• Our earth is being destroyed bit by bit. The worst is that many of us lack environmental awareness.

• Protecting the Environment Starts from Us. I think everyone should have the awareness and be activated to take actions to protect our mother earth. We can do a lot of things. For instance, we should save water and energy in our daily life. Water is the source of life.

• Sort out our rubbish, use recycled paper.• Don’t buy over –packed goods and try to avoid using plastic bags.• Turn off lights and water taps in time.• Use a bicycle or walk instead of taking a bus or a taxi for short trips.• There are quite a lot of renewable resources we can use, such as solar energy and wind energy

because the existing energy is limited and causes pollution. • We should also develop renewable energy sources.
