At the summer camp the students all gave speeches or told stories.Many students spoke about protecting theenvironment, protecting wild animals and preventing pollution. Mostly they said how the government should dosomething about these problems, but I kept thinking that we should do our part, too. Each of us can protect theenvironment and wild animals by doing some everyday ordinary things, like putting trash in the properreceptacles(trash cans, trash bins, garbage can) rather than throw it on the ground. We can also avoid gettingplastic bags from shops by carrying our own re-useable shopping bag. When we buy something in a shop that weare going to eat or use right away, we dont need a bag, either carry it out of the store or put it in our book bags.Instead of having mom or dad take us to school by car or motorcycle we can walk or use a bicycle——this is goodexercise for us and lessens air pollution.
Did you know all those plastic bags and plastic bottles are harmful to the environment, especially wildanimals? Those plastic bags blowing around the streets and tourist sites get into the trees, grass and rivers. Thebags may be eaten by animals such as large fish, the bags may cover the ground preventing plant growth, or thebags may be used by animals to make nests that become too hot or too cold for the young. In addition, all thattrash and garbage on the side of the streets and roads attract insects that carry diseases besides making theenvironment ugly. Whats more, food plants cannot grow well because of the pollution. We can do our part toprotect the environment by putting trash where it belongs.
