It is everyone's duty to help animals to stop extinction(灭绝). As a student, there are so many things you can do yourself too! Please look at the following tips(建议) to help the endangered animals.
Send a letter to your local environment protecting center and show how you feel about the quick extinction of animals. Use the facts to write what you have found. Give some advice to the officers who make the strong rules to save animals.
Draw pictures and make a poster. Put this poster somewhere at school or where people will usually see it. Add some texts in the sign to make it clear why you care about the loss(丧失) of animals. It may encourage people to do something to protect the animals.
Avoid buying things that come from endangered species(物种). When you travel, be careful about what you buy. You shouldn't buy things made from endangered animals or endangered tree species from forests that the animals live on.
Watch your diet. Before eating meals, you should see if you will break a food chain. If you see somebody doing something bad for the food chain, please stop him at once.

Save the world's trees
“When it comes to the Earth，there is no time to waste.” says the Earth Day Network.And that is right.Protecting our environment is very important，and World Earth Day was created in 1970 to ask more people to protect our environment.On April 22，people around the world celebrate Earth Day.
Every year there is a special topic，and this year it is “Trees for the Earth”，so Earth Day this year will be all about planting trees.They are planning to plant 7.8 billion trees within the next five years.
That's a big goal，and you might wonder why trees are so important.Because they can take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and protect the air quality (质量)．CO2 is a chemical in our atmosphere，but humans make too much of it.Each person makes about 2.3 tons a year，which is bad for the environment.
Well guess what！Planting new trees is important because people cut down a huge number of trees.Last year，there were 3 trillion trees in the world，about 139 billion in China.But according to China Daily，the world's total number has been almost cut in half since human civilization (文明) began.That's because 15 billion trees are cut down every year.
So we need to plant more to make up for (弥补) the ones we lost.One tree can take in 21.8 kilograms of CO2 per year.It's_still_one_of_the_cheapest_and_best_ways_to_get_rid_of_CO2. But don't forget that we can also help the environment by cutting down on how much energy (能源) or water we use every day.Every little thing helps.

Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else to be reused”．We throw tons of rubbish away each year，and we have to make a change.Divide your rubbish into plastic，glass，paper and rubber.Develop a recycling policy for the whole community.Buy products such as recycled paper to help save trees.
