保护环境英语作文篇1

Through observation, I found that plastic bags on peoples harm and pollution is very large。 People often use plastic bags: mother to buy food and plastic bags; to shopping malls with plastic bags; in the restaurant to eat rice is also packaged with plastic bags to take home; even I buy stationery also with plastic bags。 People do not know what they do to the environment caused by pollution, their own body caused any harm。 Such as: people often put useless plastic bags thrown into the garbage, plastic bags in the rubbish will be smelly, so that the pollution of the air。 People also throw plastic bags anywhere, a wind, plastic bags flying in the sky, the branches also see the tree is a plastic bag, and even the river there are plastic bags。 This plastic bag in addition to pollution of the air, but also polluted our water resources。

We should raise peoples awareness, tell us the neighbors and friends and family together to beautify our environment。 On the road to see the plastic bag quickly picked up, immediately took it to the garbage disposal。 We want to start from my use less plastic bags, so that my mother every day to buy food or shopping when they first take their own bags, this is not very environmentally friendly? Or can use their own holding things as far as possible by hand, no plastic bags。

As the saying goes: "to protect the environment, everyone is responsible" We have to protect the home environment out of a force。

通过观察,我发现塑料袋对人们的危害和污染非常大。人们还经常用塑料袋:妈妈买菜用塑料袋;去商场购物用塑料袋;在饭店里吃不完的饭也是用塑料袋打包带回家;连我买文具也用塑料袋。人们却不知道他们这样做对环境造成的污染,对他们自己的身体造成了什么危害。如:人们常把没用的塑料袋扔进垃圾堆,塑料袋在垃圾里会发臭,这样就污染了空气。人们还把塑料袋随地乱扔,一刮风,塑料袋在天空中漫天飞舞,树枝上也看到满树都是塑料袋,就连小河里也有塑料袋。这样塑料袋除了污染了空气,还污染了我们的水资源。

我们应该提高人们的认识,告诉我们身旁的邻居和亲朋好友一起来美化我们的环境。在路上见到塑料袋就连忙捡起来,马上把它拿到垃圾场处理掉。我们要从我做起少用塑料袋,让妈妈每天买菜或购物时都先拿上自己做的布袋,这样不是很环保吗?或者能用自己手拿的东西就尽量用手拿,不用塑料袋。

俗话说的好:“保护环境,人人有责”我们也要为保护家乡环境出一份力。

The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day

long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the

living, on the graves of the dead! All white save the river, that marked its

course by a winding black line across the landscape; and the leafless trees,

that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and

intricacies of their branches. What silence, too, came with the snow, and what

seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and

musical. No more tramping hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming of

the sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.
