Everybody loves their school, and I'm not an exception. To me, my school is a very beautiful and ideal place for students to study and live in. However, it is the user that decides whether a thing lasts long or not. The same goes to places, and in order to continue studying in such a good school like mine, we as users must conserve and protect its environment.

To begin with, we must understand the whole concept of "green". So what do I mean by "green"? It doesn't just mean a color, it also means eco-friendliness and cleanness. "Green" reflects the state of being free from rubbish and being unharmful to the environment thanks to having very little litter. Currently, our school covers a vast area of land filled with trees, and as a result, students gain a lot of benefits from them. Trees have addressed many issues at my school, like the need for fresh air (they take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen), and they provide the cool shades students enjoy during hot summer days.

However, nothing stays the same forever, so actions must be taken in order to keep our school green. Although the school has a team of cleaners, they cannot manage all by themselves. We - the students - should join hands with them. Sure, students can help by planting trees, cleaning the school playground, saving electricity, etc., but sometimes, it is the smallest things that matter. Helping is important, but the will to keep the school clean is even more important. The only way students will help without being forced to is to persuade them, telling them how bad the situation will be when the school isn't green, and how it will affect them. Moving on, if I were the principal of our school, I would try to raise funds for eco-friendly projects, cooperating with environmental organizations and establishing a green team for the school. Not only that, I would also organize classes and events where students can learn about Going Green.

On the whole, I believe that making my school green is an essential job that would greatly and positively affect the environment as well as the people working and studying there. Therefore, each and every one of us must play a role in protecting the school's environment. Being green is not only the benefit of the school, but of our own. Let's do this together, you and me.
