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。

We live in nature, nature is very important to us. If we dont take care of it, the natural disaster will befall mankind.

But, because of a shortage of people environmental protection consciousness, there are some people throwing garbage everywhere, some pet, or at the side of the road. There are some busy people to go outside to eat fast food, leftovers lost carelessly. There are some people throwing paper everywhere, those paper lying on the road, just like a damage to the environment of the devil. There are some factories at the thick black smoke, the sky got dark. Some factories discharge wastewater flow into rivers, leading to the river black and stink, lots and lots of fish died. Some people are disorderly cut down trees, land became bare. Without trees, the air quality is affected, many living things disappear from lack of oxygen. There are some people in the river after eating, was thrown into the river, originally the clear river water becomes dirty and smelly ditch, passing all over your nose.

For the sake of our environment, I want to be with those people say: "please dont damage the environment, or natural disaster will befall mankind. If again so continue to destroy, the whole earth will disappear. The end of the world will always be coming.

The earth is my home, to protect the environment depends on everybody. Let us act together to protect our lovely earth!

我们生活在大自然里，大自然对我们非常重要。如果我们不爱护它，自然灾害就会降临到人类。

可是，由于人们环保意识不足，有一些人就随地扔垃圾，一些宠物就在路边随地大小便。有一些工作繁忙的人就到外面吃快餐，剩饭剩菜随手乱丢。有一些人随地扔纸团，那些躺在公路上的纸团，就像一个个破坏环境的魔鬼。还有一些工厂冒着浓浓的黑烟，把天空弄得黑乎乎的。有些工厂里排放出来的污水流进江河里，导致河水变黑、变臭，许许多多的鱼死亡。有些人就乱砍树木，土地变得裸露了。没有了树木，空气质量受到影响，许多生物因为缺氧而消失。有一些人在河边吃完东西，就往河里扔，原本清澈的河水变成了又脏又臭的水沟，路过的人都捂鼻而过。

为了我们的环境，我要跟那些人说：“请你们不要再破坏环境了，否则自然灾害就会降临到人类。如果再这样继续破坏的话，整个地球就会消失。世界末日始终会到来。

地球是我家，保护环境靠大家。让我们一起行动起来，保护我们这个美丽可爱的地球吧!

Its polite to say “thank you” when others help us or say something kind to

us.

Being polite is a good tradition in our country.Nobody likes a person who

is impolite. Its important for us to be polite. We should say “thank you” to

parents when they cook for us. We should say “thank you” when they wash clothes

for us. We should also be polite at school. When the teachers help us work out

questions ,we should say “thank you” to them. When we get bad grades and the

teachers and classmates encourage us, we should say “thank you”. When someone

open the door for us,we should say “thank you”. We should say “thank you” as

often as possible.

If everyone is polite to others,the world will be more and more

beautiful.

As we all know，the environmemt around us is getting worse and worse .In some places，we cant see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment. But what can we do?How to protect our environmemt ?For example，we can go to school on foot or by bike . we can use shopping baskets not plastic bags when we go shopping，and we can use both sides of the paper when we write .In a word，if everyone pays more attention to our environment ，there will be less pollution and our life will be better。“There is only one earth”，I hope everyone will protect our environment well.

夏天，天气闷热，大多数的人都会在空调房里待着，看看电视什么的，这样又浪费电，又伤害眼睛，就拿我们家当例子吧，每个月至少可以用249度电，那两个月就是498度电，三个月就是747度电……一年用2988度电。全国有十多亿人口，如果都像我们家一样，那每个月就得用249000000度电，这是一个多么惊人的数字啊!再说了，长时间待在空调房里的人们很容易得空调病，大量的氟力昂也会污染空气，使天气一下子又热了许多，那又不用电，又可以保护眼睛，又能保持人体的健康，该怎么做呢?就来听听我的建议吧!

吃完晚饭，我们可以动员一家人出去散散步，这样就可以不怎么用电了，又帮助消化，又不用电，还能让心灵的窗户——眼睛，得到保护……真是一举多得啊!如果这样可以节约两度电，那一个月(30天)就可以节约60度电，两个月就是120度电，三个月就是360度电……一年(365天)就是730度电，十年(3650天)就是7300度电，下面以次类推。这样也不比整天待在空调房里差啊，你说是不是啊?

让我们行动起来，保护环境，对污染空气说‘no’，我相信，只要我们大家一起行动，我们的世界将会变得更加美丽!

How to protect the environment.

Good environment can make people feel happy and fit . To improve the environment means to improve our life.

We should plant more trees and flowers around us . We shouldn’t cut them down . We should stop factories from pouring waste water into the river and waste gas into the air.

Whenever we see litter on the ground , we should pick it up and throw it into dusbins. Never spit in public. Don’t draw on public walls. It’s our duty to protect the environment.

“保护环境，人人有责”这是我们在路边随便可见的公益广告标语，但是有多少人是真正的做到了呢？

地球，她是人类的母亲，她是人类生活的起源，他无私地抚育着我们，使我们能在这个得天无厚的星球里生活，地球有着取之不尽的资源。

曾经有人把地球比喻成一个白里透蓝的玻璃球，但这个玻璃球却不容小看，因为里面有蔚蓝的海洋，褐色的陆地，绿色的森林、草原，银线般闪闪发亮的河流，朵朵的云漂浮在上空，流出一幅幅清丽而柔和的画卷。

地球是个美丽的星球，它孕育了许多绿色的生命。到目前为止，地球是我们发现唯一一个拥有生命的星球。但是，随着现代人类科技技术和经济的空前发展，我们赖以生存的家园——地球，在人类征服和改造自然环境的过程中，遭到了严重的破坏。

说到环保，那就不得不提起交通，现代城市中的车辆络绎不绝，给大气造成了严重的污染，导致了一系列灾害的发生。漫漫黄沙代替了莽莽林海，曾经孕育灿烂古文化的江河经常变成干涸的河床，原本美丽的风景湮没为荒野。

在长期的掠夺资源后，地球及其居民好像逝入了一个危险的地方，全球性变暖，气候和土壤、河流以及海洋的污染处处威胁着人们，水和森林等自然资源的生存还不以说明问题吗？

大量的垃圾在不断的生产，环境的日益恶化的警钟已经敲响了。地球不仅属于我们人类，相反我们人类属于地球。我们人类和其他生物都在一个家园中，但在进来，有许多动植物都濒临灭绝，还有许多已经灭绝了。绿色的地球是我们人类的家园，只有人与自然，协调发展，才能共同拥有美好的明天。

植树节，世界环境日，世界禁烟日等等节日，这些都告诫我们要采取一些措施，保护环境。

让我们一起来保护我们这个魅力而又脆弱的地球吧！因为，只有人类的心灵能够知足这份美丽。善待地球——人类唯一的星期，我们别无选择。

As the world gets smaller with the development of technology, people

between different countries can learn different culture. They can find the

information from the Internet and most people learn the culture from media. But

the fact is that most media report the events in their perspective, which is not

showing the truth. So the best way for people to learn culture is to come to the

local place, staying for some time and talking to the local people, then they

will find what they learn is different from before. So the opinions from other

people and the media are just references. The truth is waiting for you to

find.

Since the first day of my winter vacation, I’ve decided to make it a

valuable and enjoyable one. I made a plan to finish my homework within the first

week, and after days of hard working, I actually got all my assignments done a

day earlier. I am pretty proud of myself for not —as usual —hang out with my

friends until the last few days of my vacation and rush through my homework.

In the rest of my winter vacation, I made up my mind to improve my reading

skills. I’ve had tons of books that I simply bought and put them on my shelf,

wishing some day they would be finished themselves. But this time, I realized I

was not trying my best last term and decided to make some change. I finished a

couple of novels and watched some classic movies, I also went to a library to

borrow some new books for next term. The more I read the more enthusiastic I

became, and now I’ve developed my reading skills a lot.

Another event in my winter vacation is that I went to hiking with my

parents. It was a warm, sunny day, which is pretty precious during winter time.

I can still remember the scene when we drove

各位沈四小周边居民：

你们好！

众所周知，地球是我们赖以生存的家园，人类今天的发展与竞争离不开地球的帮助。有人曾说,地球是我们的摇篮，更是我们的母亲。我觉得这句话形象地道出了地球与人类之间相互依存的关系。然而，在科技飞速发展的二十一世纪，人们在享受物质财富的同时，有没有发现，我们身边的环境正在严重的恶化？

不错，南极臭氧层空洞、两极冰川融化、长江流量减少；水土流失、洪水泛滥、土地沙漠化……难道这样的生态灾难还少吗？汶川、玉树大地震，舟曲泥石流……这就是大地母亲向我们发出的警告。如果人类再不幡然醒悟，从身边做起，好好保护环境，那么最终的结果只能是走向灭亡，重蹈楼兰的覆辙。生态破坏、环境污染已经对人类生存发展构成了极大的威胁，也许在不久的将来，《2012》电影中的镜头就会成为现实。现在，很多人都举着“低碳节能，保护环境”的大旗，可真正付诸于行动的又有多少？因此，特向你们发出几点倡议：

1、 拒绝白色污染。不论到哪里购物（包括菜市场）都不要使用收费或免费的塑料袋，尽量自备布袋。因为这些塑料袋一旦被埋入地下，几千年都不会分解，其危害不亚于废电池。

2、 不乱扔垃圾。出门在外，最好带一个袋子，将自己用过的废旧物品放进袋子里，等找到了垃圾桶时再扔掉。

3、 实行家庭垃圾分类制度。用不同颜色的垃圾袋区分可回收和不可回收垃圾，再按其种类丢进垃圾桶，能给垃圾回收工作带来不少的便利。

4、 珍惜水资源。不将生活垃圾倒进河里；洗手擦肥皂时应该将水龙头关掉；淋浴时脚下放个水盆，积下来的水可以冲厕所，这样也能节约很多水资源。

5、 节约每一寸纸。复印资料或其它文件时，尽量采用双面复印的方法。虽说只是一面纸的问题，但天长日久，积少成多，一年下来就可以少砍几棵大树。

6、 节能减排。堵车时，如果队伍太长，就干脆将发动机关掉，既节约了汽油，又减少废气排放。

正所谓木本水源，一脉相承。我们的老祖宗给我们创造了这样一个良好的环境，我们就应该好好珍惜。希望你们采纳我的建议，珍爱地球，保护环境。

[珍爱地球保护环境初中生优秀作文

Stepping into the new century, environment pollution has become more serious than ever since. There are different kinds of pollution. Such as, water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution and so on. It seems that we live on a planet which is full of pollution. Where all these pollution comes from? To a large extend, the environmental destruction is the heavy price that we pay for the rapid development of economy and the growing population. In order to have more fuel, people cut down trees and dig more corals. But the growing needs for energy are hardly to meet. Countless private cars on the street, the gas stations are short of gasoline, even the government has raise the price so many times in order to control the needs of gasoline, but it’s still not working. Overusing the natural resources has already affected the ecological balance. However, the factories still release the toxic air into the sky and the polluted water into the rivers. People still lack of the conscious of protecting the environment. I think it’s time for all of us to do something.

The government should put forward some more strict laws to prevent the environment from being further polluted. And they should let people know more about the importance of environment protection. And we should find the balance between the economic growth and environmental protection. Plant more trees in the deserts and stop cutting down the forest. Forbid the factories to pour the waste water into the rivers directly. Encourage people to use public transportations to work. Both government and ordinary people should join hands together to make our home clean and fresh again. Only in this way, our earth could be a better place to live in.

进入新世界以来，环境污染比任何时候都要严峻。有各式各样的污染：水污染，空气污染，噪音污染等等。看起来我们活着一个四周都是污染源的星球。那么，这些污染是从何而来的呢?在很大程度上，环境被破坏就是我们为快速的经济增长和人口增加所付出的惨烈代价。为了得到更多的能源，人们砍伐树木，挖更多的煤矿，但是还是难以维持日益增长的需求。不计其数的私家车充斥着公路，加油站的汽油严重短缺，政府多次上调油价也未能阻止私家车对汽油的需求。自然资源的过度利用已经影响到了生态平衡。然而，工厂依旧向外排放有毒气体，把工业废水倒入河里。人们依旧缺乏保护环境的意识。我认为人们应该做些事情了。

政府应该施行一些更为严格的法律来防止环境被进一步的破坏掉。他们应该让人们了解到保护环境的重要性。我们要在保持经济发展和环境保护中找到平衡点。在沙漠中植树造林，停止砍伐森林。禁止工厂往河流里直接排放废水。鼓励人们用交通工具上班。政府和普通民众都应该携手保护环境，让我们的家园变得干净整洁。只有这样，我们的地球才能更适合人类居住。

说到草原，呈现给人的景象肯定是一片绿绿的草、一群洁白的羊和几匹高头大马。

人们通常不会去注意小小矮矮的草，而是去欣赏草原的美丽。可是，要知道，如果没有那些小草，哪会有一片片一碧千里的草原?哪养得活那些羊群和马群?

草，通常只是遭人践踏，遭羊马啃食，甚至被烈火焚烧。但它从来不会抱怨，不会畏缩。而是更加努力地生长着。它不会因人的践踏、羊马的啃食和烈火的焚烧而放弃生的希望，反而在第二年的春天，在春风的吹拂下，在春雨的滋润下冒出嫩芽，即使再被践踏、啃食、焚烧它依然在第二年重新获得新生，日复一日，年复一年，周而复始，欣欣向荣。

即使是再冰冷的岩石上，它也依然如此。靠着仅有的一点泥土，和仅有的一点雨水，在石缝里生根，发芽。反而比舒适条件下的草长得更绿，更强。

草，不像其他植物那样，有着美丽的身姿和高贵的身份，但它也不求那些，而是自己默默地生长，从不引人注意。它不希望整天被人众星捧月一般观赏、膜拜，也不希望自己因人们的喜爱而被栽种在漂亮的花盆里，它更希望的是能在自然环境中经历风与雨的考验，因而使自己受到更多的锻炼，从而变得顽强。

草，一个经历过艰苦磨难最终存活下来的强者，一个朴实无华，默默无闻的强者，一个勇于拼搏，勇于挑战的强者，一个值得赞扬的强者。

When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man

with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended

in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that

flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose.

The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the prodnct of

a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had

never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke.

Everywhere he went, "Gramp" made friends easily. At the end of half an hour

you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give

orders , but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like

suggestions.

One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said :

"Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.

" Then he drove away with his horses.

The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening

came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the

horses to get their drink.

"How many bags of potatoes were there?" Gramp inquired. "I dont know.

"

"How many potatoes did you pick up?"

"I didnt pick any. " "Not any! Why not?"

"You said I could pick, them up if I wanted to. You didnt say I had to.

"

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget: when Gramp

said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.

Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of

a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own

day.

She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and

had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning

washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave

her pleasure. The bird, the flowers, the clouds-all that was beautiful around

her- pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who

used to gather grass and show it to his son , saying , "See how beautif ul this

is ! "

In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that

are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women

struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the

business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents,

manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.

Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to

September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.

有一天，我在路上遇到一只小狗。小狗说：“人类正在砍伐树木、污染环境。过不了多久，我们小动物活不下去了，人类的末日也要来临了。”

我听到这些，简直不敢相信。可是我又觉得小狗的话有点道理，就跑过去告诉正在砍伐树木的人们：“请不要乱砍树木了！”可是没人听我的，他们还在不停地砍到一棵又一棵的大树。在回家的路上，我又看见好多人在草坪上跑来跑去，在把垃圾扔得到处都是。在草坪边上有一块大牌子写着：“爱护花草，保护环境！”这八个字，难道他们都看不见吗？忽然，“砰”的一声，一个人把一大堆垃圾扔进了小河，小河顿时飘出一股恶臭。这时，我发现路边明明有个垃圾桶，可是没有一个人把垃圾扔进垃圾桶，人们把垃圾扔得满地都是，苍蝇在上面嗡嗡地飞来飞去，我还差点被一块香蕉皮给滑到呢！看着这些，我想起了那只小狗对我说的话，这究竟会不会变成真的呢？我一直想啊想

原来是一场噩梦啊，吓死我了！要是人类不保护环境，噩梦就会成真。所以请大家一定要记住这句话：“保护环境，从小事做起！”

不知道你看过这样两幅面：一幅画的远处是浓浓淡淡的棵棵绿树，身边是红红绿绿的片片果园，进出是饱饱满满的株株禾苗，快乐的人们在这如诗如画的人间仙境忙碌着；另一幅画的是枯萎衰败的朵朵秃花，其次是凄凄惨惨的棵棵败树，近处是死气沉沉的一片荒芜。

是什么导致了这样的天壤之别？-----是动物的活？植物的生长？还是那传说中能点石成金的神？都不是的。是大自然的惩罚，导致这一切的是人类，是那些自以为是的“聪明的人”.

是那些自以为是而滥用科技的人，是 那些自以为是而不思后果的.人，是那些明知在犯错而一错再错的人，是那些不思悔改的“聪明人”.

因工厂废气、汽车尾气的大量排放，天空已有蔚蓝变成了灰白；因人类的破坏、废水的排放，垃圾聚集，河流已有清澈变成乌黑；因人类的大肆砍伐，甚至是连根拔起，郁郁葱葱的树木消失了，取而代之的一片荒芜。

当前的坏境问题，不由得让人想到以上两幅画。因为在人的潜意识里，还充满着对美好事物的向往。现在的人类似乎已敏感的认识到了这一点，开始着手对“美”的建设，国家提倡可继续发展，号召大家都行动起来建设自己的美好家园。但建设环境决不能以破坏环境为代价，决不能把环境保护与其他设施的建设对立起来，决不能不能先污染后治理的老路，不然，日益恶化的环境将会使我们在其他领域中所取得的一切成就黯然失色。

让我们与时俱进，与国同心，携手向前，尽己之力共创美好家园。

我现在生活在深圳的某小区。位于南山区蛇口，南靠海上世界，北靠深圳湾体育馆，东靠深圳湾口岸，西靠四海公园。这里的环境很好。树木不断增加，使空气新鲜。不过有些人不爱惜这里的环境，比如：抽二手烟会污染空气，而且人吸入这样的空气会对人的肺部受到损害。乱扔垃圾会让人感觉很脏，不整洁，等等。我曾想过几年以后的环境：没有人再抽烟了，也没有人再乱扔垃圾了……树木会越来越多，汽车排出的不再是废气，而是弥漫出奶香的味道。更多的人骑单车，人们流出的汉水散发着香味，这样城市里的空气更清新了。

马路两边种植着各种哦不同的果树：荔枝树，龙眼树，芒果树……想吃的时候直接摘下来就可以吃。每天我们早上都可以看到不同种类的鸟儿，听着美妙的鸟鸣声，像一首首动听的歌儿，嬉戏在这美好的大自然里。在池塘边我看到鱼儿在玩耍，游来游去真快活。

荷叶哥哥看见了也过来凑热闹。荷花姐姐看到了笑不拢嘴。这一刻的情景被记录在摄影师的相机里，为我们以后留下美好的回忆吧！

我希望我的想象能离现实不再遥远，我会时刻提醒身边的人要爱护我们现在的生活环境。这种爱护不是一天两天的事，而是永久的爱！

Kung Fu Panda is the lastest project from Dreamworks. It’s a CG-animated comedy about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda named Po Po (Voiced by Jack Black), who must somehow become a Kung Fu Master in order to save the Valley of Peace from a villainous snow leopard, Tai Lung. Prophecy said that Po is the “Chosen One” to save the day. But he appears to be the laziest of all the animals in ancient China. A group of martial arts masters are going to need a black belt in patience if they are going to turn this slacker panda into a kung fu fighter before it’s too late.I like the movie because it is very interesting and funny.The monkey is voiced by Jackey Chan who is my favourite star!

As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings. This sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among the youngsters.

What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long existed in todays China. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of information age, people are becoming increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell phones. Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones. It cannot be denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people, and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.

Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationship are reinforced by sincere and face-to-face communication.

He always rose early to enjoy at least two hours of solitude in the house

and garden before the rest of the family came down In winter he spent most of

the time reading and writing. In sum mer he liked to get out of doors to work in

the kitchen garden or to take the dog for a walk in the neighbouring woods and

fields Whatever the weather, there was plenty to occupy him.

Although he was a creature of habit, there seemed to be an infinite variety

in his pursuits. He wrote book reviews regularly for two of the national

weeklies. He worked conscientiously his special subject, Indian History, and was

thus one of the world authorities on it;

he collected modern abstract paintings and so had a circle of friends

amongst artists and sculptors; there was hardly anything he did not know about

traditional jazz and he often entertained both British and America n jazz

musicians He was a superb cook and knew a lot about French and German food.

His family adored him and in a sense he was spoiled by them. At first

glance you would have taken him for a retired army officer-his bearing was

erect, his hair was cut short, he was fussy about his clothes, which were always

neat, clean and conventional. He liked to keep fit, and this was reflected in

his clear, steady blue eyes and healthy suntanned complexion. He hardly ever

watched TV, but enjoyed a good film and an occasional evening at the

theatre.
