I’m a student in No. 38 Middle School . I’ve lived in this city for 24 years . I like this city , but there are some environmental problems here, so I’d like to talk with you .
First , there is white pollution everywhere in the city . People use too many plastic bags , bottles , and lunch boxes . And they throw them everywhere . Second , there are more and more cars on the road and they gives too much waste gas.
I think the government should make laws to limit the use of them so that people will use their own cups , lunch boxes and chopsticks . Also we should encourage more people to use new energy vehicles , take buses and use shared bikes so that public transportation will be made good use of .
I hope the environment here will get better and better.
Yours sincerely
