Environmental Protection

环境保护

Today the quality of our natural environment has become an important issue. The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive.

现如今我们的自然环境已经成为一个重要问题。世界人口增长如此之快以至于世界已经变得过于拥挤。我们在消耗自然资源的同时危险化学物品污染着我们生存的环境。如果我们继续这样下去，地球上的生物将不能生存。

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.

相关人士在环境保护方面做出了一些进展。许多国家的政府已经建立法律来保护大气，森林和海洋资源以停止环境污染。

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(保存) our natural resources and recycle(再循环) our products. We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.

同时更应该采取措施来解决环境问题。应该进一步教育人们认识到问题的重要性，应用现代的生产控制方法来节约我们的自然资源和实现产品的再循环。我们相信在将来我们会拥有一个更好的更干净的生存之地。

保护环境的英语作文一：

Topic:

Environmental problems are as big as not for individual country or individual people to address。 In other word， we have reached the stage that environmental problems be solved for international view。 To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years， many nations have bee more aware of the environmental issues each nation faces， such as air and water pollution。 The question is， are the environmental issues a national problem or an international problem? It is my belief that the environmental issues have grown to the point of being an international problem needing international cooperation to resolve。

Because of the differences in environmental policies， resources and technology， international cooperation could provide quicker results and have a greater impact on bringing resolution to environmental problems for nations of differing environmental policies and of lesser resources and technology。 By pooling international resources and technology to address the environmental problems， the disadvantaged nations are provided the assistance needed。 Otherwise their environmental conditions deteriorate ultimately affecting the resources and environment of the world as a whole。

One of the difficulities to an international resolution to environmental issues is the difference in individual nations view and policies toward environmental protection。 In order for international cooperation to occur and succeed， the nations of the world must submit themselved to international standards and supervision by an international mission elected by the participating nations of the world。 All members must agree to abide by the standards established。

The environmental issues facing each country are not unrelated to the well being of the rest of the world。 The impact is long term and international in scope。 Without international cooperation and agreement to address such environmental issues as glacial melting at the South Pole， depletion of the ozone layer， water pollution， air polution， etc。， the environmental conditions of the world will deteriorate to the detriment of every nation， not just those that ignore or lack the resources and technology to resolve their individual environmental problems。

As part of the same planet， it is the responsibility of each individual and nation to protect the global environment。 Only international cooperation will provide the timely solutions and the effectiveness needed to stop the deteriorating global environment。

Environmental Pollution I read a piece of news recently. It says that in Japan marly businessmen ave selling fresh air to customers.and now it is becoming more and more popular. Why？ ——Fresh air is getting less and less in Japan， and so is it in the U. S. A. In fact， environmental pollution is a very serious problem the whole world is facing. it is mainly caused by the waste products released from artificial substances， industrial production and increased consumption of goods. Bedsides， the use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes environmental pollution. Look at the sky， you can see that dense smoke is being released from the high and big chimneys；

those dirty and poisonous substances are flowing into the rivers that we use for drinking water and millions of tons f waste products are heaping around us. How to change this condition？ More and more countries are trying to work out some effective means to bring it under control， but no great success has been made.

World Environment Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment. Another resolution, adopted by the General Assembly the same day, led to the creation of UNEP .

World Environment Day can be celebrated in many ways, including street rallies, bicycles parades, green concerts, essay and poster competitions in schools, tree planting, recycling efforts, clean-up campaigns and much more.

Heads of State, Prime Ministers and Ministers of Environment deliver statements and commit themselves to care for the Earth. More serious pledges are made which lead to the establishment of permanent governmental structures dealing with environmental management and economic planning. This observance also provides an opportunity to sign or ratify international environmental conventions.

World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.

The World Environment Day theme selected for 2004 is Wanted! Seas and Oceans - Dead or Alive? The theme asks that we make a choice as to how we want to treat the Earths seas and oceans. It also calls on each and every one of us to act. Do we want to keep seas and oceans healthy and alive or polluted and dead?

The main international celebrations of the World Environment Day 2004 will be held in Barcelona, Spain in close collaboration with the Universal Forum of Cultures. UNEP is honoured that the City of Barcelona, the Catalan Regional Government and the Government of Spain will be hosting this important United Nations day.

世界环境日成立于1972年由联合国大会开幕纪念斯德哥尔摩人类环境会议。另一个决议,联合国大会通过的同一天,导致联合国环境规划署的创建。

庆祝世界环境日可以在许多方面,包括街头集会,自行车游行、绿色音乐会、论文和海报比赛在学校、植树、回收工作,清理活动等等。

国家元首、总理和部长环境提供声明和承诺照顾地球。更严重的承诺是导致建立永久性政府结构处理环境管理和经济规划。这个仪式也提供了一个机会签署或批准的国际环境公约。

Protect Environment

Today there is more and more pollution and the environment is becoming worse and worse. So we have to know how to protect the environment. Here are some ways.

First, we can stop driving our personal cars. We can go to school or work on foot or by bus. Not only can it protect environment, but also it is good for our health.

Second, we are not supposed to drop litter anywhere, we should put them into the trash bin. And it’s best to pick up the litter on the ground when we see them.

Third, we should save the paper, the water, the food and so on.

Fourth, we should protect the trees and we should plant more trees.

I think if everyone does something to protect the environment, our world will be much better.

我不希望我的祖国是垃圾国家，任凭白色垃圾到处肆无忌惮，我多么希望我的祖国是一个美丽而干净的，这就需要我们保护环境，哪怕捡起一张纸，也能为祖国增添一点色彩。

星期二的早上，天空格外的蓝，空气也格外的清新。我的心情特别的好。我早早的跑到广场锻炼身体，我跑着跑着，“沙，沙......”咦!什么东西在我后面跟着，我猛一回头，定睛一看，原来是一团皱巴巴的纸团，在我身后当起我的小尾巴。不远处的几个垃圾在微风的吹拂下，在广场上你追我赶，像赶集似的。花坛处的两个叔叔正在边说边吃，还边扔垃圾，我的心头顿时涌上一股怒火：“哼!等着瞧!一会儿我就让你哑口无言。”我三下五去二，不一会就把垃圾捡到手，我抬起头看到清洁工老爷爷正在扫垃圾，我跑过去把垃圾放进爷爷的袋子里，老爷爷愣了一下，随后就笑了，低下头嘴里不住地说：“好孩子呀!好孩子。”我又捡了些垃圾，放进老爷爷的袋子里，老爷爷微笑的说：“哎呀!孩子，你不怕别人说你是捡垃圾的?”我笑了说：“我不怕。保护环境是我们应该做的。”这时，花坛处的两个叔叔停止了说笑，都张口结舌：“恩.——这个......”我得意地把眉头一挑，向家走去。温暖的阳光照在我身上......

As is seen from the two graphs, it is clear that with the rapid growth of U.S. population from 1800 to 1990, the number of its wildlife species no longer existing soared during the same period. Naturally, we can draw the conclusion that the sharp decline of wildlife species resulted from the population growth.

Two reasons may account for this phenomenon. To begin with, as the population grows, people consume much more natural resources, which often leads to excessive hunting. Second, with the increase of human activities, modern people take up more and more space. Which has a great impact on other species. Finally, the problem of pollution becomes more and more serious with the development of modern industry. More and more animals have to adapt themselves to the decaying environment or move to a totally different place, but not all of them are fortunate enough to survive the changes.

Solving this problem calls for, above all, the government’s efforts to control population growth, to decrease industrial pollution and to enhance the laws to forbid wildlife hunting. Moreover, common citizens should be aware of this ecological crisis and take on the responsibility of wildlife protection. In a word, only when the government and the common people make joint e f forts can we hope to find a satisfactory solution to this problem.

翻译：

从这两个图,很明显,美国人口的快速增长从1800年到1990年,其野生动物物种的数量不再现有同期飙升。自然,我们可以得出结论,野生动物物种的急剧下降导致的人口增长。

两个原因可以解释这一现象。首先,随着人口的增长,人们消耗更多的自然资源,这常常会导致过度的狩猎。其次,随着人类活动的增加,现代人越来越多的空间。有一个伟大的对其他物种的影响。最后,污染变得越来越严重的问题,随着现代工业的发展。越来越多的动物必须适应的环境或搬到一个完全不同的地方,但并非所有都幸运地在变化中生存下来。

要求解决这个问题,最重要的是,政府的努力来控制人口增长,减少工业污染和提高法律禁止野生动物狩猎。此外,普通公民都应该意识到这种生态危机和野生动物保护的责任。总之,只有当政府和老百姓共同e f堡垒我们希望能找到一个满意的解决这个问题。

In our daily life, the living environment is very important. But in daily life people in protecting the environment is not very seriously.

In order to let our beautiful environment, no hurt. There are many old people to clean street, greening lawn. They finished a day early out, to the motherland green environment at all costs. But as fate would have it, those who do not care for the environment but also to destroy, we have to provide for those who do not care for the environment and ideological work, let them early day break habits.

On the way we go to school, there is also a team the many classmates litter waste. For example: some students throw snack bags at the school gate, and the classmate throw like folded paper airplane, even along the wall into the school. Their actions again and again to affect not only school, to be on duty every morning classmates brought a lot of trouble.

Meeting in the school, the teacher again and again asked, to persuade, but some classmate dont persuaded, but continue to damage the environment, shorten the life of the earth.

Once, the school organization we 2, grade 6 students to pick them pick up white trash park lawn. Before departure, I thought to myself, common tour to play in the park, think there are clean. Today to pick up white trash, should be few, pick up must be very easy.

But when I walk there, looked down, I was shocked. There are a lot of rubbish on the ground. Waste paper, cigarette butts, plastic bags, etc. These are everywhere, a green lawn, under the destruction of tourists has become a piece of environmental pollution, this is how serious environmental problems.

In the face of the lawn, make us angry, try to eliminate those rubbish. After 100 minutes of our labor, labor, and the grass is finally back to the original beautiful, famous flowers qi yuan contend in fragance and fascination. We can not help but sigh: originally the earth also is very beautiful!

在我们日常生活中 ,生活环境是十分重要的.但在日常生活中人们在保护环境上并不十分重视.

为了能让我们的环境优美,不受到伤害.有许多老人来打扫大街,绿化草坪.他们每天早出完归,为了祖国的绿化环境不惜一切代价。但那些不爱护环境的人偏偏还要去破坏，我们一定要为不爱护环境的人做好思想工作，让他们早一日改掉恶习。

在我们上学的路上，也有许队多同学乱丢废弃物。比如说：有的同学把小吃袋扔在校门口外，还有的同学把叠好的纸飞机随意乱扔，甚至顺着墙扔进学校.他们的这些行为不但一次又一地影响着学校，还给每天早晨做值日的同学带来了很大麻烦。

在校会上，老师一次又一次叮嘱、说服，但有些同学并不听劝，而是继续破坏环境，缩短地球的寿命。

有一次，学校组织我们2—6年级同学到采俸公园的草坪上捡白色垃圾。在出发之前，我心里想，平常到采风公园玩的时候，觉得那里比较干净。今天去捡白色垃圾，应该很少，捡起来一定很轻松吧。

但当我走道那里，低头一看的时候，却把我惊呆了。地上有许多垃圾。废纸、烟头、塑料袋等。这些到处都是，一块绿色的草坪，在游人的破坏下成了一片环境污染地，这是多么严重的环境问题。

面对这块草坪，使我们愤怒不已，努力去消除那些垃圾。经过我们100分钟的劳动，草坪终于恢复到了最初的美丽，名花齐葩争芳斗艳。我们不禁感叹：原来地球也是很美的呀!

On March 1, the activities of the school to carry out the "health small pacesetter".

The students replied in unison: "good."

A class, the students will pick up the paper in the classroom, I found many scraps on the ground, and put them all picked up, and then all into the trash can. "You throw waste paper is wrong." See the classmate throw draft paper, I hurriedly went up to stop. He said: "Im sorry, Ill pick it up.

Through "hygienic pacesetter" activities, let I deeply feel: "everybody is responsible for environmental protection," not talk u, but every little bit in our daily life. We want to start from oneself, start from every little bit, love flowers and plants trees, no littering, no spitting.

3月1日，学校开展“卫生小标兵”的活动。班会课的时候，董老师说：“我们教室的垃圾很多，我们要把看到的纸捡起来丢到垃圾桶里，如果看到有乱丢纸的同学，大家就要举报，哪个同学捡的纸最多，举报同学的越多，就是卫生小标兵，好不好?”同学们异口同声地说：“好。”

一下课，同学们就在教室里捡纸，我在地面找到了许许多多的碎纸，并把它们都捡了起来，然后全部放到了垃圾桶里。“你乱丢废纸是不对的。”看到有同学乱扔草稿纸，我连忙上去制止。他说：“对不起，我马上就捡起来。

通过“卫生小标兵“的活动，让我深深地感觉到：“保护环境，人人有责”不是夸夸其谈的一句空话，而是我们日常生活中的一点一滴。我们要从自己做起，从一点一滴做起，爱护花草树木，不乱扔垃圾，不随地吐痰。

同学们，加油吧!从我做起，从现在做起，保护环境，让我们的校园变得更加美好!

With more and more cars coming into our families, we are happy that it has greatly improved our life. But unluckily, it has also brought many problems, such as heavy traffic and traffic accidents.

Traffic safety is everybodys business. We must obey the rules. For example, we must walk on sidewalks , when we cross zebra – crossing, stop and look right and left, and then go across fast. Don’t play football on the road .we can tell our parents not to drink before they drive, not to run through red lights, not to talk and laugh while driving etc.

We can say cars are coming into our life, but only when everybody thinks traffic safety is everybodys business can we be safe driving on roads and walking on sidewalks.

【汉语翻译】

随着越来越多的汽车进入我们的家庭，我们很高兴它极大地改善了我们的生活。但不幸的是，它也带来了许多问题，如交通拥挤和交通事故。

交通安全人人有责。我们必须遵守规定!例如，我们必须走在人行道上，穿过斑马线，停下来左右看，然后过得很快。不要在马路上踢足球，我们可以告诉我们的父母在开车之前不要喝酒，不要闯红灯，不要在开车时说话和大笑。

我们可以说汽车正走进我们的生活，但只有当每个人都认为交通安全是每个人的事时，我们才能安全地在路上开车和在人行道上行走。

I am not supportive of the idea that either takes priority. It is necessary and absolutely possible that economic development and environmental protection co-exist, in the sense that both of them are indispensable factors for the prosperity of society.

Economic development is seemingly more important, due to the fact that it creates enormous job opportunities, improves living conditions and increases government revenues. Yet, the above goals can only really be reached on condition that the environment is well protected. And, interesting, it is the economic development per se that provides the money and personnel resources required for the protection of the environment. A well-preserved environment is the groundwork for the economy and in a way promotes economic growth. A fast-development and well-functioning economy calls for a good environment, which offers essential resources, e.g. wood, coal, water, and so on. Once the environment deteriorates, the production process is likely to be disturbed or even halted. What is worse, natural disaster that comes with the worsening environmental conditions might even paralyze the whole economy and pose a severe threat to human life. The pursuit of short-term economic profit is the destruction of our home and that of our posterity.

So economic development and environmental protection are equally important. In this case, we are actually working on an environment-friendly economy.

天文台说：“北京东部沿海地区的风力可能比8级强。”。

沙尘暴将使空气质量变得相当糟糕。

风和沙将导致城市污染。

可怕的沙尘暴!

(一)全球气候变暖

由于人口的增加和人类生产活动的规模越来越大，向大气释放的二氧化碳(CO2)、甲烷(CH4)、一氧化二氮(N2O)、氯氟碳化合物(CFC)、四氯化碳(CCl4)、一氧化碳(CO)等温室气体不断增加，导致大气的组成发生变化。大气质量受到影响，气候有逐渐变暖的趋势。由于全球气候变暖，将会对全球产生各种不同的影响，较高的温度可使极地冰川融化，海平面每10年将升高6厘米，因而将使一些海岸地区被淹没。全球变暖也可能影响到降雨和大气环流的变化，使气候反常，易造成旱涝灾害，这些都可能导致生态系统发生变化和破坏，全球气候变化将对人类生活产生一系列重大影响。

(二)臭氧层的耗损与破坏

在离地球表面10~50千米的大气平流层中集中了地球上90%的臭氧气体，在离地面25千米处臭氧浓度最大，形成了厚度约为3毫米的臭氧集中层，称为臭氧层。它能吸收太阳的紫外线，以保护地球上的生命免遭过量紫外线的伤害，并将能量贮存在上层大气，起到调节气候的作用。但臭氧层是一个很脆弱的大气层，如果进入一些破坏臭氧的气体，它们就会和臭氧发生化学作用，臭氧层就会遭到破坏。臭氧层被破坏，将使地面受到紫外线辐射的强度增加，给地球上的生命带来很大的危害。研究表明，紫外线辐射能破坏生物蛋白质和基因物质脱氧核糖核酸，造成细胞死亡;使人类皮肤癌发病率增高;伤害眼睛，导致白内障而使眼睛失明;抑制植物如大豆、瓜类、蔬菜等的生长，并穿透10米深的水层，杀死浮游生物和微生物，从而危及水中生物的食物链和自由氧的来源，影响生态平衡和水体的自净能力。

(三)生物多样性减少

《生物多样性公约》指出，生物多样性“是指所有来源的形形色色的生物体，这些来源包括陆地、海洋和其他水生生态系统及其所构成的生态综合体;它包括物种内部、物种之间和生态系统的多样性。”在漫长的生物进化过程中会产生一些新的物种，同时，随着生态环境条件的变化，也会使一些物种消失。所以说，生物多样性是在不断变化的。近百年来，由于人口的急剧增加和人类对资源的不合理开发，加之环境污染等原因，地球上的各种生物及其生态系统受到了极大的冲击，生物多样性也受到了很大的损害。有关学者估计，世界上每年至少有5万种生物物种灭绝，平均每天灭绝的物种达140个，估计到21世纪初，全世界野生生物的损失可达其总数的15%~30%。在中国，由于人口增长和经济发展的压力，对生物资源的不合理利用和破坏，生物多样性所遭受的损失也非常严重，大约已有200个物种已经灭绝;估计约有5000种植物在近年内已处于濒危状态，这些约占中国高等植物总数的20%;大约还有398种脊椎动物也处在濒危状态，约占中国脊椎动物总数的7.7%左右。因此，保护和拯救生物多样性以及这些生物赖以生存的生活条件，同样是摆在我们面前的重要任务。

(四)酸雨蔓延

酸雨是指大气降水中酸碱度(PH值)低于5.6的雨、雪或其他形式的降水。这是大气污染的一种表现。 酸雨对人类环境的影响是多方面的。酸雨降落到河流、湖泊中，会妨碍水中鱼、虾的成长，以致鱼虾减少或绝迹;酸雨还导致土壤酸化，破坏土壤的营养，使土壤贫瘠化，危害植物的生长，造成作物减产，危害森林的生长。此外，酸雨还腐蚀建筑材料，有关资料说明，近十几年来，酸雨地区的一些古迹特别是石刻、石雕或铜塑像的损坏超过以往百年以上，甚至千年以上。世界目前已有三大酸雨区。我国华南酸雨区是唯一尚未治理的。

(五)森林锐减

在今天的地球上，我们的绿色屏障——森林正以平均每年4000平方公里的速度消失。森林的减少使其涵养水源的功能受到破坏，造成了物种的减少和水土流失，对二氧化碳的吸收减少进而又加剧了温室效应。

(六)土地荒漠化

全球陆地面积占60%，其中沙漠和沙漠化面积29%。每年有600万公顷的土地变成沙漠。经济损失每年423亿美元。全球共有干旱、半干旱土地50亿公顷，其中33亿遭到荒漠化威胁。致使每年有600万公顷的农田、900万公顷的牧区失去生产力。人类文明的摇篮底格里斯河、幼发拉底河流域，已由沃土变成荒漠。中国的黄河流域，水土流失亦十分严重。

(七)大气污染

大气污染的主要因子为悬浮颗粒物、一氧化碳、臭氧、二氧化碳、氮氧化物、铅等。大气污染导致每年有30-70万人因烟尘污染提前死亡，2500万的儿童患慢性喉炎，400-700万的农村妇女儿童受害。

(八)水污染

水是我们日常最需要，也上接触最多的物质之一，然而就是水如今也成了危险品。

(九)海洋污染

人类活动使近海区的氮和磷增加50%-200%;过量营养物导致沿海藻类大量生长;波罗的海、北海、黑海、东中国海(东海)等出现赤潮。海洋污染导致赤潮频繁发生，破坏了红树林、珊瑚礁、海草，使近海鱼虾锐减，渔业损失惨重。

(十)危险性废物越境转移

危险性废物是指除放射性废物以外，具有化学活性或毒性、爆炸性、腐蚀性和其他对人类生存环境存在有害特性的废物。美国在资源保护与回收法中规定，所谓危险废物是指一种固体废物和几种固体的混合物，因其数量和浓度较高，可能造成或导致人类死亡，或引起严重的难以治愈疾病或致残的废物。

Protecting the Environment

In the last several decades, our earth has been extremely polluted, such as air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and so on. In recent years, the extreme weather becomes more and more frequent. Winter gets colder and summer becomes hotter and it rains more frequently. All of these warn us that protecting the environment is a serious and emergent event. As our general people, we should build proper lifestyle. We should pay attention to water and light saving. When we go out, we should firstly choose the public transportation. The most important is that we must realize that we can do a lot of things to protect our environment. Its our duty to make our home better. Let’s change from ourselves.

Remember, the first day when I walk into our campus, I found the campus everywhere "care for the environment, everyone duty" signs, see the signs, I feel very happy, because I know, I live in the campus must be a beautiful environment, suitable for the place where we grow. However, the reality is very cruel and in our campus, always can see some disharmonious white trash, always can see the ground of debris-brick, I sad for it.

Today, who is destroying our campus environment, who has taken away the beauty of the campus? Everyone should know that it is us who destroy the campus environment. There are a lot of students who learn to "paint" on a clean wall. These bad behaviour, has attracted many students, however, we are always at the bottom of the moan, hardly anyone can bent down and picked up the ground of debris-brick; Few people can voluntarily erase the footprints on the wall. Is because of this, after the morning cleaning the health, in the afternoon, the campus is no longer beautiful, so today, here I take this opportunity to call for everyone: civilized and harmonious environment depends on everybody, let each of us to maintain the environment consciously, dont scribble on the wall, dont litter and pick up the waste paper.

I believe that as long as we everyone involved in protecting the environment, our campus will be bright blue sky, the wall of our campus more white, our campus will be beautiful and clean.

Over the past years, floods, droughts, landslides, and dust-storms have frequented our planet, the only habitat of human beings. Several days ago, tsunami(海啸) has swept the Southeast Asia, which has caused enormous damage. All these have sounded an alarm to human beings.

The destruction which is caused by human beings has aroused people’s concern all over the world. If we pay no heed to the present destructive human activities, our planet will become of tomb instead of cozy home. What’s more, we should realize that only from our planet can we obtain our sheltering, food, cloth and so forth.

Counter-measures must be taken to curb the destruction caused by human beings. Most importantly, laws must be established to punish those who are involved in destructive conducts.

I wonder if the students have seen a picture of the comic, the title is "the fish also needs protection", "on the surface of the floating many trash, some heavier continues to sink. A little fish in the water with a lotus leaf. This seemingly funny cartoon has deep meaning.

Although only a usual cartoon. Have you ever thought, in a few years, decades, hundreds of years... Will become a reality? According to the survey, 20% of freshwater fish endangered, 50% of the coral reef degradation. About two thirds of the population in 2025 water supply difficulty... All kinds of ugly data show that the earth, homeland of human suffering from the tremendous harm. As human beings we must stand up face, start from every little thing. Such as: protect the environment, and actively promote civilization.

Hugo said: "mother nature is good, is also cruel butcher." If you dont protect the environment, so, the plants and trees might be people watch exhibits. Because trees reduce, originally all over the world every year about 300, one hundred million tons of soil erosion is not even more in the future? At that time, the earth can also give us the wealth?

To their homes, for ourselves, for the benefit of future generations, protect the environment, everyone duty, urgent!

不知同学们是否看过一幅这样的漫画，标题是“鱼儿也需要保护”，“在水面上漂浮着许多垃圾，有的比较重的还在不断的往下沉。一条小鱼撑着荷叶在水中游。这幅看似可笑的漫画却含义深刻。

虽只是一幅平常的漫画。可你是否想过，再过几年、几十年、几百年……是不是会变成现实呢?据调查，20%的淡水鱼濒临灭绝，50%的珊瑚礁退化。大约在2025年三分之二的人口面临供水困难……各种不堪入目的数据都表明，地球——人类的家园正遭受着巨大的危害。作为人类的我们必须站起来面对，从每一件小事做起。比如：保护好周围的环境，积极宣传文明。

雨果说过：”大自然是善良的慈母，也是冷酷的屠夫。“假如你不保护好周围的环境，那么，花草树木也许就会成为人们观看的展品。因为树木的减少，原本每年全世界的土壤流失约300多亿吨，以后不就更多了吗?到时候，地球还能给予我们财富吗?

为了家园，为了我们自己，为了造福子孙后代，保护环境，人人有责，刻不容缓!

From June1, 2008, shops and supermarkets are forbidden from offering free plastic bags to customers, according to a new law. A nation-wide campaign against plastic bags has been launched.

Nowadays, Chinese people use up to three billion plastic bags a day. While being very convenient to shoppers, plastic bags also cause serious white pollution” and waste resources.

Though the ban may cause some inconvenience to shoppers, it can help reduce the use of plastic bags when people have to pay for them. Besides, the ban, in away, can promote public awareness of environmental protection.

So I think it necessary to forbid shops and supermarkets from offering free plastic bags. When shopping, we can use cloth bags or baskets instead of plastic bags as we used to.

Development and the Environment

It is undeniable that the worsening environment has become the biggest concern of the present-day world. Land resources are dwindling because of water loss and soil erosion. Waste gases poison the air we breathe. The rivers and lakes are polluted by waste dumped in them from factories. It is probably no exaggeration to say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens the existence of mankind itself.

Some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the price we have to pay for economic development. But I do not think that this argument is valid. After all, what is the point of economic growth if people＇s lives are adversely alfected by worsening environmental pollution?

There is plenty of evidence to show that sustainable development can be achieved by balancing economic growth with protection of the environment. The key to achieving this is to make people aware of the seriousness of the problem. Both governments and ordinary citizens should join hands to make this world a better place to live in, not only for ourselves, but also for future generations.

环境与发展

不可否认的是环境恶化已成为当今世界上人们最担心的事了。因为水资源的浪费和土壤被侵蚀，土地资源逐渐缩小。我们呼吸着有毒的空气，河流和湖泊也被附近的工厂里排放出来的废弃物严重污染了。不夸大其词地说，环境质量的恶化很可能威胁人类的生存。

有些人说环境问题是我们为经济发展所付出的代价。对此，我不敢苟同。如果人类的生活被日益恶化的环境污染所影响的话，那么，经济发展的意义何在?

足够的证据表明：经济发展与环境保护的平衡可以实现可持续发展。关键是使人们意识到问题的严重性。政府和普通市民两方都应该携手使地球成为更适合人类居住的地方，这不仅是为我们自己，也是为我们的后代。

[环境与发展英语作文及译文

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.
