Caring for the Environment Starts from Ourselves
World Environment Day is on June 5 every year．It reflects the attitudes of people around the world to environmental issues and expresses people's pursuit of a better environment．
As young students，we should promote environmental protection and start from the things around us，such as caring for every plant and tree in the school，and actively participating in various public welfare activities that care for nature．In addition，we should also obey the rules of the school，striving to be good students with civilization and politeness，which will contribute to the construction of the most beautiful campus．

Over the whole day，they all work together to clean up the trash．Rhenan and the volunteers tirelessly pick up plastic bottles，old clothing，and empty food packages from the river and its banks．They form teams to cover different sections，ensuring no area is left untouched．As they work，laughter and chatter fill the air，creating a sense of community and shared purpose．By the afternoon，they have collected heaps of trash，transforming the riverbank into a cleaner，more beautiful place．
At the end of the day，everyone starts to cheer．They are proud of their hard work and the visible change they have made．The river now flows clearer，reflecting the bright sky above．Rhenan feels a deep sense of accomplishment and gratitude towards everyone who has helped．To prevent future pollution，they discuss plans to educate the community about the importance of keeping the river clean and propose regular clean-up events．Rhenan realizes that together，they can make a lasting impact．

“Where I grew up，there were not a lot of plants outside，”said Yolanda Palmer．“Some people had them；some people didn't．”

Palmer's home is in Chestnut Hill，a central gardening center in the city．She hopes her message will be able to reach other communities in the Philadelphia area．“Everyone should buy houseplants．Everyone should want cleaner air，”she said．“And that way，in the future when our children grow up，we can make it better．”

When 12-year-old Erica Fernandez volunteered to help clean up the beach in her new hometown，Oxnard，California，she could barely speak English．She was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach．She and her family had recently arrived in California from a small town in Mexico．
Erica started going door to door in her mainly Spanish-speaking farmworker community．“I always loved the ocean，”she says，“so it made me really sad to see this beautiful beach full of trash．That's why I decided to help．”
Erica cared too much to stay silent．Having grown up in a tiny town in the Mexican state of Michoacán，she had a strong motivation to care for nature．“We grew our own food and raised our own animals．Taking care of nature was part of survival．”She wanted to bring that same spirit to her new life in California．
As her English improved，she talked to kids in her high school about what was going on．“I didn't know if they would listen to me．My English wasn't good and I was only sixteen，”she says．As she nervously approached the microphone，she was informed that time was running out．One minute and thirty seconds was all she had．“I couldn't give my prepared speech，so I just spoke from my heart．”
The result was electrifying．When Erica was finished，people stood up and broke into applause．One of the teachers said，“I'm very moved by your words，Erica．When I was your age，I was playing video games．”
Only the second person in her family to go to college，Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities．She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong，even if they feel shy about it at first．“We are the future．The future is ours．”

The Araguaia River is one of the biggest rivers in Brazil．It is home to thousands of animals，like bright blue and yellow macaws．River dolphins swim and play in the water，and there are many different coloured fish．
In one town，a 13-year-old boy named Rhenan walks along the river every day．But looking at the river makes him worry because there is trash everywhere．He sees plastic bottles，old clothing，and empty food packages．The water looks dark and ugly．
At school，Rhenan asks about the dirty river．“You wouldn't want trash in your house，”says his teacher．“Think about the poor animals！”For days，Rhenan couldn't stop thinking about the river．It doesn't seem right to him that this big and powerful river is filled with trash．“It's hurting the animals in my area，”he thinks．“And it's also hurting the families who live here．”Then Rhenan has an idea．
The next morning，Rhenan talks to his mother about his plan for the river．He wants to go around his town and ask for everyone's help．Maybe if they all work together，they could clean up the river! Rhenan's mother loves his idea．“I believe the most important thing for you，Rhenan，is learning how to change things that you care about．That will stay with you forever，”she says．She tells him she will help him along the way．
The next day，Rhenan goes to the police department．Next he goes to the Mayors office (市长办公室)．He visits offices，businesses，and other schools．Soon he has a very big group of people who like his idea! They all decide to meet at the river the following week．On the day of the river clean-up，Rhenan is excited—but he is also nervous．What if no one shows up But when he and his mother arrive，there are almost a hundred people there，including many of Rhenan's friends．
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
