I feel so lucky to be born and raised on the outskirts of the city. This place has a very clear green environment. In my hometown people plant a lot of trees. Each family has gardens. These green trees can give shade back to fruit, so they are very popular. The waste is neatly sorted by us and collected by an environmental service company. The roads will be cleaned. We planted flowers to make the roads prettier. The teacher taught us that the environment is very important. In big cities, because there are many factories, the air is very polluted, dust is everywhere. We need to preserve and cherish our current living environment. If the environment is not destroyed, the air will not be polluted, and people will be healthier, and will not suffer from serious diseases. Let’s join hands together to protect the environment!

I usually hear in the everyday news about pollution, and that makes me have awareness in protecting and keeping the environment clean. We can help save the Earth by doing small things, and I am sure that everyone can do that. I always limit the amount of water that I use daily, and I try to reuse the water as much as I can. I also turn on electronics devices only when I am really in need, and I always remember to turn them off before I leave. I choose to use the fan instead of the air conditioner on mild days, and I use the natural light to replace the bulb when it is not dark outside. I do not use plastic cups or dishes even if I have a party, and I have a bag to keep on the goods I buy at the markets instead of using plastic bags. They are just small easy habits that I can always do in my daily life, and there is no reason why people cannot do the same to save the Earth.

In order to protect the environment, all the citizens must take actions. The government should applies laws that punish those who pollute the environment heavily. And students must help raise awareness of their family and neighbors on how to protect the environment.

The appearance of industrial parks and factories has helped people in my hometown have more jobs, and their lives have also changed significantly. However, the operation of factories also increases the risk of environmental pollution in my hometown. Domestic wastewater is discharged into the fields, killing crabs and snails, causing trees and crops to wither. Domestic waste is not treated, but is thrown indiscriminately everywhere, causing unsightly beauty and environmental pollution. Before the pollution situation, the commune officials worked directly with the industrial park to propose the construction of a wastewater treatment system before being discharged into the environment. The youth volunteer team in my commune has also volunteered to clean the roads, collect indiscriminate waste and propagate to the people about throwing garbage in the right place. Thanks to practical actions, my hometown has had a significant change, the roads are green, clean and beautiful, and the situation of environmental pollution has been improved rapidly.
