A Greener City,a Better Life
As a middle school student in Guangzhou,we should create a greener city so that we can live a better life.
However,it’s a pity that we often see some people drop litter everywhere. Some forget to turn off the lights when they leave a room.
To create a greener city,ride or walk to school instead of taking a car.Also,we can plant more trees and flowers.Besides,it’s a good idea to separate the rubbish into different groups so that things like bottles and cans can be recycled.
All in all,if everyone does his part,we can live a better life in a greener city.
