【参考范文】
As we know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In my hometown, some chemical factories always pour waste water into the river. And they also produce terrible gas. So I think we must do something to protect the environment.
How to protect the environment First, as a student, we should use cloth bags instead of plastic bags when we go shopping. Second, we had better reuse the old textbooks as possible as we can. Third, we should never forget to turn off the lights when we leave the classroom.
In a word, we must try our best to protect our environment. I believe we can make the world a better place to live in.
