My hometown is a beautiful small village, my father said that the original home of hanging about the village, is full of trees behind the house, lush and green all the year round, there is a small river east village, the water crystal clear, fish, the sky was crystal clear.

The few families lived in the village, the life is comfortable, but I dont know since when, the environment began to deteriorate. Say we river first, she was now the sewage river, there is a paper mill in the waste water into the river, the river with a layer of white foam, stinking, former aquatic plants and the fish disappeared, flowers reflection of the river was gone. Dad said the river but he was a child often play place, now people here to hurry past, wu hold its mouth. The river when you are sad all the day.

The earth is our home, a good environment is the premise of our happy life. In order to our survival homeland to sweet and comfortable, I put forward three Suggestions:

The industrial wastewater emissions dont, best can recycle after unified handling.

Second life garbage recycling, in order to reuse. Called on people to care for the environment, and in some poor hygiene area eye-catching warning label.

Three to supervision and control of air pollution, especially for those emissions exceed the chimney rectification within a time limit.

Around us there are many people environmental protection consciousness, I hope more people join the ranks of environmental protection, let the home environment is becoming more and more good.

我的老家是一个美丽的小村庄,听爸爸说，原来的老家村前村后、房前屋后到处都是树，一年四季郁郁葱葱，村东头有条小河，河水清澈晶莹，鱼翔浅底，天空湛蓝深远。

村里住着百十户人家，日子过得都还舒适，可是不知从什么时候开始，环境开始恶化了。先来说说我们的小河，她现在简直成了污水河了，岸边有家造纸厂在往河里排放废水，河面上泛着一层白白的泡沫，臭气熏天，昔日的水草和鱼儿不见了，鲜花倒影的河面不见了。爸爸说河边可是他小时候经常玩耍的地方，现在过往这里的人行色匆匆、捂嘴掩鼻。小河终日愁眉不展。

地球是我们的家园，美好的环境更是我们开心生活的前提。为了我们生存的家园能够温馨舒适，我提出三条建议：

一工业污水不要随意排放，最好能够统一处理后循环使用。

二生活垃圾要分类回收，以便再利用。号召人们爱护环境，并在一些卫生状况较差的区域贴上醒目的警示标志。

三对空气污染进行监督和治理，尤其是要对那些排量超标的烟囱限期整改。

在我们身边还有许多人环保意识淡薄，真希望有更多人加入到环保行列当中，让家乡的环境变得越来越好。

环境话题英语作文一

There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.

To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection.Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air,forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution.

Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems.People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems,to use modern methods of birth control,to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products.We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.

When I was very small, I lived in my hometown. My grandparents raised two

dogs, and I liked them very much. I watched them grow up from the little animals

to the big dogs. Every time when I leaved home for school, they would follow me

for some distance. When I walked a little far away, they would turn home. When I

went home after school, they would wait for me in the door and swayed their

tails. I knew they were welcoming me home. They were like my family members and

I learned that animals are part of our nature. We should protect them. We can

create a harmonious society.

st important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

Looking ahead, and some are just a bump on the ground, large tracts of forest were cut down, into peoples lives in the wood products. It is only for their own interests, many animal it to become destitute and homeless. This is not a false illusion, this is the bloody facts.

Once upon a time, a large number of animals and plants in the world were destroyed, and many animals and plants are on the verge of extinction, which is why? This is because the man casually trees, destroy the ecological environment, this is the fundamental reason.

Land resource is one of the three major geological resources (mineral resources, water resources, land resources), is the most basic human production activities and labor objects. Human utilization of land reflects the development of human civilization, but also caused the direct destruction of land resources, which is mainly manifested as unreasonable cultivation caused by soil erosion, land desertification, land salinization of soil and soil pollution and so on, and the soil and water loss is particularly serious, today the world is facing a serious crisis. According to estimates, soil loss of the cultivated land is about 230 tons / year.

Some people think acid rain is a silent crisis, and in the history of the impact our most serious threat to the environment, is a look at the enemy. This is not alarmist. With the increase in industrialization and energy consumption, acid emissions are also increasing, they enter the air, after a series of role in the formation of acid rain.

The world is changing all the time, and my hometown is no exception. In recent years, my new eyes have witnessed the welcome changes in my hometown.

The mountain in the hometown changed, the former bald "steamed bread", now green oil; The water in my hometown has changed. Once full of mud and mud, the water is now crystal clear. The road in my hometown has changed. Once the muddy dirt road, now not only became the spacious asphalt road, but also repaired the traffic light; The house in my hometown has changed, and  bungalow, formerly short and small, is now a spectacular high-rise building. The transportation tool in my hometown has changed. Once upon a time, it was the goal of the people to have a bicycle, and now the streets are almost all beautiful cars. The clothes of the family changed, and there was a patch on the clothes of the old people. In the past, there was another saying, "three years, three years, three years of sewing." And now, peoples clothes are colorful, fashionable, there are suspenders, suits, skirts, dresses, and so on, very beautiful...

My hometown is changing day by day.

Home is changing little by little.

I opened my eyes wide, observed carefully, searched carefully, and carefully found... I wish I could change all the changes of the mountains and rivers of my hometown, and put them all into my mind and become a part of my beautiful memory.

Once upon a time, there was nothing at the edge of the Yellow River.

Now, the yellow side construction is very good, there are a lot of colorful lights on the Yellow River, there are a lot of lights on the bridge, the bridge is also full of colored lights, some of the bridge also has spotlights!

The sculpture on the edge of the Yellow River is also beautiful, with the Yellow River mother, the tang priest in the journey to the west, and so on, the statues are all vivid, as if they were real.

The most beautiful is the music fountain. The music fountain has a acoustics next to it. It has a wonderful music. The fountain will go up and down with the music rhythm. The pool also has colorful lights, very beautiful.

When the foreigner came to lanzhou, they said that the Yellow River was comparable to the bund in Shanghai.

Ah! I am pleasantly surprised to find that my hometown is undergoing rapid changes, and our motherland is also undergoing earth-shaking changes! The change of hometown is a microcosm of the prosperity of our motherland!

I love my lovely hometown!

保护环境善待地球

众所周知，我们只有一个地球。地球是我们的家园。我无法想象，如果地球消失了，人类该怎样生存。

我们的生活不能离开地球，所以，请善待地球。

现在的空气不是很新鲜，天也不是那样湛蓝。这是为什么？因为有很多人乱砍滥伐，还污染河流。我们在森林里看不见小动物玩耍，也看不见小鱼在水里游泳。

如果长时间都是这个景象，世界末日就会来临。

那么，我们怎样才能保护环境呢？让我来给大家一些建议吧。

首先，我们可以植树。树木可以给予我们新鲜的空气，还可以吸收二氧化碳。

其次，我们可以坐公交去上学或上班,少开车。汽车排放的尾气会污染空气，它对我们的身体没有好处，对地球也没有好处。

这就是我的建议。

今天是世界环境日，让我们一起保护环境，善待地球吧！

[高中保护环境的英语小作文

I am a college student, this is my fourth year in the college, which means

that I will graduate soon. Nowadays, many of my classmates have taken the action

to find the job interview, while I tell myself to calm down, actually, I have no

idea about my future, so I haven’t taken the action.

When the graduate season comes, students have to worry about their jobs,

for me, I have many annoyances, first, I don’t know which city should I go. On

the one hand, I want to stay in the present city that I live, because I have

many college students here, I can fight my career with them, we can also take a

drink when we have time. But on the other hand, if I want to stay in this city,

it means I have to be far away from home. I want to stay with my family, my

parents want to see me and I want to accompany them, working at my hometown is a

perfect idea for me. Now I still don’t know how to choose, once I have made the

decision, I have to give up something.

Before I make the best choice for me, i won’t find the job interview.

The New Year is coming and this term has finished. Now, I can enjoy a happy

winter holiday. In winter holiday, I don’t have to get up early every morning.

It’s the best thing for me. I often get up at nine o’clock in the morning. My

parents go to work so I stay at home alone. I will go out for breakfast. Noodle,

milk and egg are my favorites. Then I go back home to watch TV or meet my

friends. We always have many things to do. My parents would go home at noon so I

have lunch at home. In the afternoon, I will sleep and then do some homework. In

short, I spend most time in playing. I love winter holiday.

Environment is all the attention to the topic, also is a hot spot of all people. Good environment, good for our healthy growth, feel better, both study and life comfortable, everyone wants to live in a good environment. Therefore, to protect the environment, everyone duty.

When you are passing the trash can, you can pick up the cola bottles beside? When you see someone scribble carving in the tree, you will not to stop at the meeting? When you are in the stalls to eat small, can you come up with their own spare chopsticks instead of disposable chopsticks?

Now, a lot of people cut down a tree in the forest, the trees to make chopsticks, chairs, tables, etc., can cause soil erosion, flood will often and bring us unfortunately. We should act to prevent them.

In the supermarket, we can see a lot of people still use money to buy a pocket, although a pocket as long as 2 cents, but to protect the environment is every citizens responsibility and obligation. Even if the pockets dont money, we should also have the mindset of environmental protection, environmental protection bag.

On my way to school, we saw someone throw rubbish on the road, disorderly spit phlegm, we should teach him methods: spitting in the tissue, then throw in the trash. We cant learn the somebody else, be sure to write "environmental protection" moment in their heart, and reflect in action, starts from me, starts from the minor matter.

I believe that through the efforts of everyone, the environment will become better and better, "mother" will become more beautiful earth.

环境是目前所有人关注的话题，也是所有人关注的一个热点。好的环境，有利于我们健康成长、心情舒畅，无论学习和生活都特别舒服，所有人都希望生活在一个好的环境下。因此，保护环境，人人有责。

当你路过垃圾桶的时候，你会不会捡起旁边的可乐瓶?当你看见有人在树上乱刻乱画，你会不会上前去阻止?当你在小摊吃小面的时候，你会拿出自己的备用筷子而不用一次性筷子呢?

现在，很多人在森林里砍树，把树木做成筷子、椅子、桌子等等，就会造成水土流失，洪水也会经常冲来，带给我们不幸的危险。我们应该立刻行动，阻止他们。

在超市里，我们会看到很多人还用钱来买口袋，虽然一个口袋只要2角钱，但是保护环境是每一个公民的责任和义务。即使口袋不要钱，我们也应抱有保护环境的心态，用环保口袋。

在上学的路上，我们看见有人在路上乱扔垃圾，乱吐口痰，我们应该教给他方法：吐在纸巾里，然后扔进垃圾桶。我们更不能学人家，一定要把“保护环境”时刻记在心里，并体现在行动中，从我做起，从小事做起。

我相信，通过大家的努力，环境会变得越来越好，地球“妈妈”也会变得更加美丽。

ford’s year of curiosity and tinkering paid off. he dreamed of a horseless carriage. when he built one, the world of transportation was changed forever.

“叮铃铃……”一阵清脆的铃声响了起来。“喂，是逸恒吗?”我连忙接起电话：“是呀，你是谁?”咦?电话里的人怎么知道我的名字呢?“哦，我是王阿姨，今天有空吗?有空请你妈带你到我的新家——清水河畔旁边，来玩吧?我高兴地想：这下可有的玩儿喽，于是我便答应了。

我跟妈妈坐着的士(出租车)来到了清水河畔，不一会儿，妈妈带着我来到了王阿姨新家楼下。咦，清水河吗?怎么这么臭啊!我边走边想，只见前面遍地是垃圾，蚊蝇飞舞，一阵风吹来，臭气足足能熏倒十几头大象呢!河面垃圾堆积如山，飘着死鱼，死老鼠，垃圾袋，瓜果皮削等等。在死鱼中间还有大便呢!让人看了就想吐。我便和妈妈捂住鼻子，一口气儿跑到了王阿姨家。

我走进王阿姨家，妈妈说：“你看看你，把人家王阿姨已经擦过的地都踩脏了。”王阿姨说：“没关系的。”说完便拿布擦干净了。

哇噻!王阿姨家真豪华，简直像宫殿一样。地面上擦得光彩照人，墙壁刷得雪白雪白，连天花板都干干净净。王阿姨拿出茶点招待我们，让我们饱餐一顿。吃完后，我刚想把果皮扔进垃圾桶，王阿姨说：“没关系，让我来。”铛铛，只见王阿姨随手一扔，把果壳等垃圾扔到了河里。我见了，说：“阿姨，你……啊哟!痛死了。”妈妈狠狠地拍了我一下，不让我说。吃过饭后，我们要走了，王阿姨来送，顺便把垃圾扔到屋外的地上。

回家的路上，我自己编了一首诗：“屋内干净了，屋外蚊子蛟，河边风一吹，行人捂鼻跑。”我还对妈妈说：“有诗为证，王阿姨的行为是错误的。”妈妈说：“嘿，会写诗啦，长进了不少呀!”

小朋友们，你们可不要学王阿姨一样乱丢垃圾哦!见到垃圾要弯腰捡一捡哦!保护环境，人人有责!

Today， pollution has become a serious problem to us. It means that the air， seas， rivers and land are polluted by waste or poisonous things. It does harm not only to human beings but also to animals (It does harm to animals， as well as human beings.)。

We cannot have fresh air because many factories have the poisonous smoke sent into the air. Beautiful parks are made dirty by plastic tins and bags. Fish die from the polluted water. It is said that strange diseases have appeared in some places because of pollution.

I hope scientists can find ways to solve the serious problem. We are looking forward to seeing the clear sky， clean rivers and beautiful parks again.

Where is my home?

Some fish are forced to leave polluted water and are flying in the sky. But unfortunately, air is also so polluted that they have to wear masks. Each of them is crying, “Where is my home?” What a terrible sight!

Mankind has brought so much pollution. Waste is being poured into rivers and seas. Poisons to kill pests in farming and chemicals go into rivers and seas, too. Poisonous gasses from factories also make the air so dirty. The whole balance of nature is being destroyed as a result of our ignorance of the environmental protection.

Personally, man can not live alone on the earth. Should fish die from serious pollution, so would man! It is high time we did something to prevent such a scene from happening.

【译文】

何处是我家?

一些鱼类被迫离开受污染的水，并在天上飞。但不幸的是，空气污染，也使他们不得不戴上口罩。他们每个人都在哭，“我的家在哪里?”这太可怕了!

人类带来了如此多的污染。废物被排入河流和海洋。毒药杀死农业害虫和化学品进入河流和海洋去，太。从工厂有毒气体也使空气这么脏。整个自然界的平衡被毁坏了我们对环保的无知造成的。

就个人而言，人不能独自生活在地球上。如果鱼死了严重的污染，将男人!现在是时候我们做了一些，以防止发生这样的场面。

Throughout the ages, the earth mother with the sweet milk fed numerous generations of descendants. The original she was decorated by the junior was very clear and moving. However, now human beings for their own interests, tortured her innocent and dark. Mankind has only one earth; and the earth is facing a severe environmental crisis. "Save the Earth" has become the strongest voice of the people of the world.

Humans are part of nature and are part of the world of life. Many lives constitute a coexistence and coexistence related to the reputation of large systems. Humans must treat nature, care for the environment, protect animals and plants, otherwise, will endanger their own survival.

Once upon a time, people have been cut off, so that the ecological balance of nature has been destroyed. Dune swallowed the vast expanse of fertile land, the flood washed away the lovely home, the natural revenge of human embarrassment dumb. Mei Shui River once said that there is no natural, there is no human, this is the world a simple truth. Blindly plunder nature, conquer nature, will only destroy the ecosystem, blame themselves, so that human beings on the verge of difficulties. This sentence is not bad, people do not give natural face, of course, naturally will not give people behind the road, 98 floods, dust storms in 2000, 08 earthquake, in fact, this is the nature of the warning issued to mankind. Environmental protection is not a new problem for us, and our government has long put forward clear governance objectives. As a real life in every ordinary people, although it is impossible to directly engage in environmental protection work, but we can start from small, start from me. We should establish environmental awareness and take practical action to implement environmental action. See the faucet in the toilet when the drip should be able to raise their hands. When the battery is used up after the collection should be collected instead of readily throw away. When shopping should consciously do not use ultra-thin plastic bags ... ... a small thing though very humble, but it shows how much we have a sense of environmental protection.

Cherish resources, protect the environment. Lets make this city more beautiful!

Remember, protect the earth is to protect yourself!
