As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have not clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment. But what can we do? How to protect our environment? First, we can go to office on foot or by bike instead of taking a car. Second, We had better take our own bag instead of plastic bags when we go shopping. Third, We should use both sides of the paper when we write. Don’t use paper cups. Fourth, we should eat less beef, eat more vegetables and fruit salad change pork. We have more to do, if everyone pays more attention to our environment, there will be less pollution and our life will be better.
