With the global warming, more and more people realized the importance of protecting the environment.
It’s our duty to protect the earth. I always turn off the lights when I leave a room. While I am washing my hair, I usually turn off the shower. Besides, if I want to stop, I always take my own bags instead of using plastic bags. I have decided to do more things to protect our earth, such as recycling books and paper, stopping using paper napkins and stopping riding in cars
It’s good for us to walk or ride bikes to school instead of riding cars. We can also plant more trees to change air around us.
Let’s take action! Our actions can make a difference and lead to a better future.九年级英语
