Hello, everyone:
The earth is our home. Mother Earth used to make this home beautiful. Trees are everywhere, birds are singing, flowers are fragrant, rivers are clear, the sky is blue and the air is fresh ... what a beautiful environment we live in!
However, I don't know when it started. Some people don't know how to care for their homes and do a lot of things that hurt Mother Earth. Trees fell, green disappeared, sewage flowed out, and the ecological balance of nature was seriously damaged. Hurricanes, rainstorms, blizzards, floods, droughts, intense heat and other disasters come unexpectedly, leaving Mother Earth scarred. Clothes can be mended when they are broken, tables can be repaired when they are broken, and shoes can be washed when they are dirty, but if Mother Earth is ill, there is no medicine to save her. Therefore, we must love our earth as much as life and protect our mother.
Protecting the environment is a long-term and arduous task, but we can start from the small things around us. Many times, protecting the environment is just a little effort. I saw something the other day that touched me deeply. That day, my mother and I waited for the bus at the station. The weather is very cold and windy, and pedestrians on the road are in a hurry. At this time, an old man came over, took out a small shovel from his schoolbag and carefully began to clean up the platform covered with small advertisements. If there is something that can't be taken away, grandpa will pour some water from the kettle, wet the paper and shovel it off. 10 minutes later, grandpa's face and hands were red with cold, but the platform was cleaned. In fact, we can do what grandpa does: turn off the tap in time when washing our hands; Bend over and don't throw scraps of paper; Take a few more steps without crossing the green belt; Don't throw plastic bags and waste batteries; Turn off the lights, save energy and so on. We can also use our actions to influence people around us, publicize environmental protection and contribute to the environment. Let mom and dad drive one less day to reduce carbon emissions; Participate in afforestation and protect forest resources; Use less disposable items, keep the environment clean and tidy, and so on.
"Don't do it for good, don't do it for evil." As a small master of the earth, as long as each of us reaches out and does our part to protect Mother Earth, we will certainly make the sky bluer, the water cleaner, the land greener and our home more beautiful!
Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility. Let's act!
