The Earth is our home, but it seems that we do not do enough necessary things to protect it. People cut down the trees, kill thousands of animals, and dig up the ground every day. All of our actions create only negative influences on the Earth, and I think we should do something to save it before it is too late. It is not hard for us to cut off products from animals. We do not need to use accessories which are made from animals’ skin and fur, and we should not use things that are made from toxic materials. The oceans now have more trash than living animals, and it is a terrible thing to imagine. We should reduce the amount of trash, especially plastic and toxic waste. Instead, we can use recycled things such as clothes, metal, or wood in our daily life. Everyone can join by doing such small things, and I think it is not very difficult. Environment is everything around us and what we need to maintain our life, so our priority should be keeping it clean and healthy.

our beloved uncle ho once said "spring is the new year to plant trees, making the country springier and springier". responding to uncle ho's teachings, every january our school jubilantly holds a tree planting festival. in order for the tree planting and tending activities on the campus to take place smoothly, the school has assigned specific tasks for each class, if in grade 5 we are assigned the task of planting trees, the students in grade 4 water will be applied after the plant has been planted. the students of grade 1, 2 are still young, so they will join in cultivating the soil, picking leaves and cleaning the area of the tree planting festival. the festival took place very enthusiastically and successfully, we all actively participated and felt happy for having contributed a bit to bring a cool, fresh green space to the school.

With the pace of population growth and industrial zones, the environment has considerably been damaged. From a little green grass to the large oceans, the environment is everything surrounding us. However, the environment is in danger and polluted because of human activities, which raises a lot of concerns for every country in the world. Poaching wild animals, releasing pollutants before treatment, over abusing fossil fuels, etc. are all damages caused by the human. These actions are threatening the ozone layer and causing a terrible effect named climate change that leads to a lot of disasters every year such as flood, drouth, hurricane, forest fire, etc. Besides, environmental pollution is one of the main reasons bringing about many serious diseases related to the respiratory system, digestive system, cardiovascular system, etc. Therefore, protecting the environment is not a mission of a certain country, that is a mission of everyone all around the world instead. Each person can change the world by their responsible actions such as saying “no” with plastic bags, joining campaigns for protecting wildlife, using renewable resources, planting trees, preserving biodiversity, etc. In short, protecting the environment is not only protecting our health or the planet but also saving our next generations.
