城市环境变化英语作文优秀20篇

Serious Floods

The Yangzte River is the longest river in China. And its important and helpful to us Chinese. But these days the Yangtze River is bringing us serious floods.

Many villages were destroyed by floods. The floods made hundreds of millions of people lose their homes, relatives and friends. Many children cant go to school as usual .Now the foods have drawn the attention of the whole world. People from abroad have offered their help too. In China, millions of soldiers are busy fighting against the floods. They are working very hard. Many of them have lost their lives in their attempt to save the villagers.

Though we cant help them to fight against floods, we should help them to rebuild their homeland. We can present them our pocketmoney and clothes. I believe most of the people will return to their homeland in the near future.

严重的水灾

长江是中国最长的河流。它对我们中国人十分重要。但现在长江给我们带来了严重的水灾。

许多村庄被洪水冲毁于。洪水使成千上万的人失去了家园，亲戚和朋友。许多孩子不能与平常——样去学校了。现在洪水引起了全球的注意。国外的人也给予了援助。在中国，上百万的战士忙于与洪水搏斗。他们努力工作，许多人在救村民时献出了自己的生命。

尽管我们不能帮助他们抗洪，但我们可以帮他们重建家园。我们可以捐出零花钱和衣服。我相信在不久的将来大多数人会回到家乡。

今年，爸爸妈妈带我回家乡过年。一下车，我发现家乡的变化实在是太大了，我都快认不出家乡的样子了。

我来到家乡的小河边，空气清新甜润，天空湛蓝深远。小河边绿草青青，零星的野花点缀着这美丽的小草坪，树木又高又大，上面住着许多小鸟在叽叽喳喳地唱歌。清澈见底的河里，许许多多的小鱼在游来游去，时不时地探出水面，好像在与我打招呼呢。我忍不住跟妈妈说：“妈妈，太不可思议了，我还记得有一年我到小河边玩，看到了有两个垃圾堆，很久都没有人去清理，发出一股股的臭味呢，那时大家都不来河边玩呢。现在这里闻不到臭味了，怎么会有这么大的变化呢?”妈妈摸了摸我的头，指着不远处说：“你看看那，你就知道家乡为什么会有这么大的变化了。”我仔细一看有几个环卫工人在打扫卫生，在河边大树底下放着三个垃圾桶，上面分别写着“可回收垃圾”、“不可回收垃圾”、“其他垃圾”，我真没想到家乡的垃圾分类也做得这么好，难怪这河边有小朋友在快乐地放风筝呢，这里再也不会有散发恶臭的垃圾堆啦。

我为家乡环境的巨变所震撼了，因为人们认识到了保护环境的重要性，他们开始了垃圾分类这项工程，我觉得这真的是造福人类的工程，我想家乡以后会变得更加美丽的!

[环境周围变化的作文

When it comes to harmony, you might think that this is an abstract, general concept. Its hard to see what it really is. Maybe if you read the following, it will be clear what harmony is.

It may be a definition of nature. Indeed, the weak creatures must be the belly of powerful creatures. But the ring of the ring is also a natural harmony. When a large number of frogs die, there will be a plague of locusts and food. As a result, food prices have skyrocketed and financial crises are inevitable.

A remote road in the United States, called maltin, is clogged with vehicles. The reason is to make way for the snake. Originally, the construction of this road, destroyed the "channel" of snakes. In that year, there were not only frequent incidents of snake wounding, but also in the north of Fulton, there was a crop failure, and the rats were overrun. The reason was that there were too few snakes!

The Yellow River, our mother river, the silt accumulation, this is also the result of the harmony that the Chinese people break. In the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the water is clear and transparent. But as she flows through the loess plateau, piles of sediment flow into the water, making her muddy. The loess plateau was a green place hundreds of years ago. It is because of human logging that soil erosion and silting are deposited in the Yellow River.

See, isnt this an example of a typical human being who destroys his own harmony with nature and leads to his own detriment?

But have you thought about it? Why do humans destroy the food chain? Undermine your harmony with nature? Why would humans be so desperate for natural safety?

For one thing, many people dont know enough about the food chain. Dont really understand what the food chain is! Second, and most important, human beings have endless desires. Some people, to satisfy the desire of money, killed the elephant, saw the tusks with saws, saw the ivory to buy the crafts, and got a lot of money. Of course, there are also people who pay a lot of money to buy mink, leopard skin, tiger fur coats. Because of this, there will be many people to kill and sell, like those lovely and good animals to death. Others are just to vent their anger and abuse the petite little creatures that have no resistance to human beings. Of course, there are also people for entertainment, for their own sake, and go hunting. So many cases, in fact, is mans endless desire.

But the development of mankind is precisely because human beings have endless desires. People have invented elevators, cars, trains and planes because they are too lazy to walk. Someone has invented a massage chair, air conditioner, etc. The war that led to the rapid progress of mankind is also rooted in the desire to be bullied by powerful, desirable countries. Thus, the development, creation, the establishment of its own international status. Therefore, no desire, no progress, development.

Destruction is inevitable as you develop to satisfy your desires. But if, at the same time, it also protects nature, afforesting and releasing animals, then this is a virtuous cycle. As the workers of the great hinggan mountains said, "we cut down trees, we also have trees, one hand and one hand." We should also protect our own nature.

Nature is like a very tight equation, like a long iron chain. It is always a ring and a ring. The incompleteness of the equation will affect the problem and lead to the deviation of the result. Once the chain is rusted, it disconnects, loses its ability to function, and causes significant losses at critical moments. Therefore, we humans should not deliberately destroy the harmony of nature, while destroying it, our human interests actually suffer a great loss. We need to protect nature and establish a harmonious relationship with nature.

You must have been able to understand the real harmony here.

让我打开相册，会看见两张新旧不同的照片。旧的一张，背景是古朴的，幽深的庭院，隐约可见瓜棚架和盆盆花草，画面很恬静，很安详。新的一张，背景是雄伟高大的厂房和高耸的烟囱，画面整齐，气派。

在不大的庭院里，种着几藤苦瓜，瓜棚下高高低低地排列着盆盆花草，院内弥漫着芬芳的花香和清新的草气，闻着使人心醉。那碧绿的瓜叶和橙黄的苦瓜花黄绿相间，看着使人赏心悦目。晚上，月光洒下，有时依偎在奶奶柔软的怀抱里听着爷爷道来的娓娓动听的故事，真是其乐融融。这些，如果有一天当一切皆失的时候，对于我，对于所有镇上的人，意味着什么？

新的照片时我在少年时拍的，照片上的厂房就建在我家的庭院的旧址上。

几年前，当我从顽皮的儿童长成稍稍懂事的少年时，我是以新奇的目光看待一切的变化。这一排排的楼房和小镇的庭院相比，多么高大、气派。昔日的平房夷为平地，一栋栋厂房拔地而起；昔日的大树杳无踪影，耸立的是一座座令人目眩的烟囱。爷爷的身体变得更衰弱，再烟雾粉尘的掩埋下，他频繁地咳嗽，我再也听不到他给我讲故事的声音。对于这一切，对于我，对于这镇上的所有人，对现在的所有人，对于后代，又意味着什么？

我要拍一张新照片，还是在原来的地方，画面上雄伟的厂房披着绚丽的朝霞，高耸的烟囱飘出青烟，绿影婆娑，芳草霏霏，那浓密的绿叶盖住噪音，那芬芳的草地吸收的粉尘，空气中又弥漫着花香，绿林中又传出了鸟儿的婉鸣，夏蝉的高歌。

我的家乡在蓬莱，一直以来都有人间仙境的美名，能够在这里生活我也感到很自豪，小的时候我家门前有一个水塘，小朋友们都爱到那里玩耍，每到夏天就有很多人在水塘里洗澡，我们都很喜欢这个水塘。

可是后来，有一个工厂搬到了我们家附近，不知道是什么原因，工厂里的水流到了水塘里，水塘的水开始变得臭臭的，人们出门都躲着走，夏天再也没有人到那里洗澡了，我的美丽的小水塘啊，就这么消失在了我的记忆。

长大后我才知道，原来是工厂的工业废水污染了水塘的水质，我多么希望叔叔阿姨们能够帮助一下小水塘，让它再像以前那样美丽清澈啊，我多么希望大家都能关爱我们的环境，让污染远离我们那。

小水塘，记忆里的小水塘......

牛顿发现了万有引力的定律，爱迪生发现了镜子能反光的原理……当然，我也有许许多多的发现，但最令我感到吃惊的是现在空气质量的下降，导致环境污染加剧，给人们带来了种种困扰。

以前，人们出门就可以闻见草木的清香;可以呼吸到新鲜的空气;抬头望去，天空如明镜一般晴朗、清透，一眼望去，天上的飞机和鸟儿无论飞的多高多远，都可以看到它们自由飞行的轨迹。春天，可以看到燕子在搭窝;夏天，可以听到知了的歌声;秋天，你可以看到候鸟在迁徙;冬天，小动物都在你附近藏起来冬眠。而现在呢，由于污染企业的排放，汽车尾气的增加，对环境产生了很大的影响，我们每天都能听到刺耳的机鸣;每天都要呼吸着污浊的空气……

随着科技的不断发展，现代化的工具数量增多，每一年，每一月，都有百分之二十多的树木因空气污染而萎缩;百分之八十多对我们有益的细菌由于污染而变成有害物质，导致生态系统的破坏而影响到人类正常的生存和发展，对人和生物造成危害。每天都有人因为接触到了这些污浊的空气而感染呼吸或视觉器官的疾病。随着空气中的一氧化碳、二氧化硫及有害粉尘等威胁人类健康的有害物质的增多，使人类感染上了各种疾病。

植物对人类发出了警告，动物也对人类发出了警告，地球上的每一个有生命的物体都对人类发出了警告，人类不要再害自己，更不要再害我们了，请你们珍惜地球吧!珍惜你我共同的家园!善待地球——人类唯一的星球，因为我们别无选择!

Nowadays we have enjoyed an increasingly prosperous life in the wake of enormous social and economic development. But at the same time, we forget that the consequence brought about by rapid economic development. For instance,greenhouse effect,dust storm,haze.

As society develops, people are attaching much importance to deal with the relationship between economic development and environmental.

Economic development is seemingly more important,the country develops much faster and better that it creates enormous job opportunities, improves living conditions and increases government revenues. However, the environment is becoming worse and worse.In order to protect the environment which we depends on, something must be done.

First and the foremost, we are expected to use public transportations instead of private cars that emit a large amount of exhaust gas. what’s more, we can plant more trees to absorb carbon dioxide and build an environment-friendly society. Last but not least, it is surely necessary to complete relevant laws and regulations.

We should remember that our future depends upon what we do right now.

This saves money and reduces pollution. Use things for as long as possible. We dont use plastic bags. We must plant more trees and stop the people cutting them .We hope our world becomes more and more beautiful.

life in the city is very different from life in the villages and on the farms. people in large cities are much more careful to respect the privacy of the individual. sometimes this feeling seems to be one of indifference, but it is a convention of city life to curb ones curiosity about the personal affairs of strangers. villagers and farmers are likely to show a great deal of interest in all their neighbors. opportunities for bright young people are greater in the cities and there has been a steady stream of hopeful jobseekers from the villages and farms to the large metropolitan areas.

Humans have only one earth; And the earth is facing serious environmental crisis. "Save the earth" has become the strongest voice people all over the world.

【参考译文】

古往今来，地球妈妈用甘甜的乳汁哺育了无数代子孙。原来的她被小辈们装饰得楚楚动人。可是，现在人类为了自身的利益，将她折磨得天昏地暗。人类只有一个地球;而地球正面临着严峻的环境危机。“救救地球”已成为世界各国人民最强烈的呼声。

我为周围环境的恶化而感到心痛，我想：作为未来接班人的青少年，如果不了解人类环境的构成和环境问题的严重性，无视有关环境保护的法律法规，不去增强环境保护意识，自觉履行保护环境的义务的话，我们的生命将毁在自己的手中，老天将对我们作出严厉的惩罚。为此我下定决心要从我做起爱护环境，保护我们这个赖以生存的家园，做一个保护环境的卫士。

“变了!的的确确变了!”我走在上学的路上，看着周围一派欣欣向荣的景象，不禁脱口而出。

原来的路本来就不宽，小商小贩还在两边摆摊设点，占便道，侵马路这样一来，行人、车辆被挤到马路中间，碰撞、堵塞，时有发生，一不小心就会摔倒，碰上雨天，行人可倒霉了，有时一脚踩进水洼里拔不出来。

现在可跟以前不一样了。路面扩宽了，非常平坦，用围栏隔出了机动车道、非机动车道和便道，商贩都集中到了农贸市场，侵占马路的现象少了。车、人各行其道，互不妨碍。现在，我喜欢在路边漫步，因为每天清晨都有人打扫街道，路面十分干净，垃圾也不见了，取而代之的是一个个美丽的大花坛，花香沁人心脾。马路上的夜景才叫迷人呢。一排排整齐的灯柱挺立在道路两边，灯光明亮，霓虹闪烁。

以前房子低矮破旧，饱经风霜，而且有损于市容市貌。人们都不敢靠近，不定什么时候倒塌下来。可现在一座座崭新、气派的高楼大厦矗立在街道两旁，使城市充满了现代化的气息。

过去人们出门不是靠三轮车就得迈开双腿走路。现如今，公交网四通八达，出租车抬手即停，私家轿车穿梭来往，人们出门办事越来越方便了。

我上学放学短短的一段路上就发生了翻天覆地的变化，真让我惊讶!它说明我们的祖国也在发生着巨大的变化。我相信，我们的生活会更美好的!

The important of Environmental protection

With the development of economy, peoples life is getting better and better. The increasingly rapid pace of life. However, environmental problems have become increasingly prominent.

Too many people pay attention to their life and work. To reduce the environmental protection consciousness, causes the environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious. The white trash everywhere. Air pollution. The pollution of water. The land pollution. And so on. Nowadays. These have seriously affected peoples lives. The pollution of the environment has led to mass produce all kinds of disease germs. Popular. It seriously affected peoples lives. We all know.The protection of a good living environment and people is cannot do without. Have a good environment. Peoples life can be guaranteed. In order to get the sustainable development of society.

As we all know. The earth is our home. Protect environment depends on everyone. Only when we have a good environment is the guarantee. Our life will be better and better.

Tourism is becoming increasingly important to many countries but it also has its disadvantages.What are some of the problems of tourism?

First of all,tourism can ruin the environment.Another aspect is cultural,as sometimes foreigners show no respect for national traditions.In addition,it causes the price of everything rising.

In a word,tourism is very important,there are a lot of advantages about it,but we also should remember that there are always two sides of everything,but I believe the advantages and disadvantages of tourism can be in balance if we all become more attentive to each other and the world around us.

我们，是保护地球的下一代，可总有人在破坏我们的家园，让大自然哭泣。

不知从何时起，生机勃勃的花草树木无精打采地低下了头，小草没有那么绿了，树儿也不显得多么青翠，花朵更是经常把美丽的脸蛋儿扭转到一边，没了光彩。这，都是因为人们为了好玩，挂在树枝上荡啊荡；因为人们为了方便，不绕道却一脚踏在草坪上；还因为照相时想更美丽，不惜将花儿摘下，将美据为己有……你想啊，地球上如果没了植物，会多么死气沉沉！

不知从何时起，地球上的小动物一直在减少。你听说过旅鸽吗？之前，这种鸟被科学家认为是数量最多的鸟儿。而事实并非如此，人们正疯狂捕杀旅鸽，一个射击俱乐部一天捕杀几百只旅鸽，一周下来就有几千只，一个月更别说了……当最后一只旅鸽在笼子中死去时，人们才感到惋惜……那时，那些俱乐部的人们是否也要把黑洞洞的枪口对准自己？没有了小动物的地球居民还会生活得好吗？切记，保护环境就是保护自己。

不知从何时起，空气质量大大下降，有句广告词反映了这个问题：一烟之污，白鸽成黑鸦；大气之染，生灵成涂炭。指间夹着的香烟，腾起烟雾，污染了周围人们的心灵；汽车排放的尾气，散发着臭气，坐车的人却十分安逸；施工场地大拆大整，腾起几米高的灰尘，住房修得十分豪华……人们满足了自己的心愿，空气呢？谁来保护它！

人们可曾想过，现在破坏自然，不珍惜这份美好，自然哭泣后，会给我们人类带来什么样的苦果尝呢？

一：环境变化

我的家在六横梅峙村，那里风景优美，山清水秀。

我家门口有一条弯弯的小河。以前看到那被污染的河水后，会大吃在惊。水面上漂浮着菜叶、塑料袋、鸡毛、鸭毛等杂物，因为长期没人打捞和清理，漂浮在河面上的杂物都腐烂了，散开出一股难闻的气味。夏天一到，蚊子苍蝇在河面上飞舞，河旁边的黑泥土散发出一股臭气。整条河就像一个生了重病的人，在唉声汉气，呼吁着，盼望着新的生命。

现在可好了，政府拨款来修复小河，他们用挖掘机把河底的淤泥挖上来运走，把河的四周砌上石块，浇上水泥，河两岸种上了花草树木，使小河的面貌焕然一新。河水清澈见底，小鱼成群结队的在河水里游来游去，人们不在乱扔垃圾了，还每天有人来打扫卫生，小河变得更宽更美了，空气清新甜润了。

现在的小河比以前更漂亮了，这是为什么呢?因为小河不再被污染了，还得到了人们的悉心呵护。保护环境，从我做起，不乱丢生活垃圾，同时还要阻止别人乱丢垃圾。大家都行动起来吧，来保护我们的家园。

二：环境的变化

现在，随着科学技术逐渐提高，社会不断的进步，我们生活的环境和居住环境不论城市还是农村都有着翻天覆地的变化。

我认为我们现在的环境越变越好了。一次，我听爷爷说，他们以前都住的用土砌成的平房。有一次，下雨了，因为爷爷家的房子漏雨，第二早上水都到人的胸前，鞋子在水里漂浮着。可现在，家乡完全变了，像一个成长的孩子，展示出他的魅力。那一栋栋华丽的楼房既漂亮，又宽敞。妈妈还告诉我以前的路面既窄又小。根本没有东风路、109国道、更没有西区的宽敞大道。可现在我们的路面变长了，变宽了，也变干净了。小区的房子的装璜也是绮丽无比，小区的物业管理也比以前负责多了，小区内的绿化也漂亮了，像花园一样美丽。所以我们的居住环境有很大的变化。

我们的生活环境也变好了，每年的植树节教师、学生、干部都会去植树，以前，平罗县根本没有花花绿绿的小花、小草、小树，可现在满街都是花草树木。还有的小朋友主动把花坛里、草坪上纸屑捡起，那些每天扫大街阿姨们都会把垃圾扫的干干净净，人们的保护环境意识也提高了，大街上很少有人丢纸片，所以我们的环境变好了。

我们现在随着社会进步，生活环境和居住环境就有了翻天覆地变化，人们的生活变得更幸福了，我们要从自己开始做到保护环境，人人有责，不乱仍电池、废品，不污染水资源，人人都去爱我们共同的家园。

三：环境变化

同学们，你们了解我们周围的环境吗?在这里我要向大家说一说我们这里周围环境的变化有多大。

那就从我家周围开始说吧!原来，我家旁边有一条笔直的小路，但路旁总是堆满“白色垃圾”。只要一刮起风来，这些“白色垃圾”就会偏偏起舞，有的飞到人们的窗户上，夜里起来一看，还真象个大魔鬼一样爬在窗户上;有的人们刚刚出门，那些“白色垃圾”就落在头上，非常令人讨厌......。

还有，这里经常会出现“沙尘暴”因为到处都是黄沙，几乎一棵小树都没有了。回家的时候总是要迷眼睛的，咳!真没办法。

后来，经过环卫工人的辛勤劳动，环境卫生有了很大的变化。到了夏天，这里绿树成荫，鲜花盛开。“沙尘暴”不见了，白色的垃圾消失了，这里的垃圾山变成了高楼大厦。小鸟也飞回来了，它们在这里歌唱着，好象在说这里的环境真美啊!

安钢是我家，环保靠大家。我相信，我们这里的环境会越来越美丽!

Water is the source of life. Human can not do without water, animals, plants cannot survive without water. We every day to drink water, water, not only we need water, the fish in the water, the crops of the fields, the trees on the hill, and so on all need water. Some people may think so: water is to burn forever, love how how waste waste, this idea is wrong, we should change the idea.

I listen to mama said, in our city the creek, at the time of their small river on the bottom, they often catch fish in the river, catch shrimp, game play, but now is full of rubbish, into a dry river.

Water had a close relationship with each one of us, if there is no water, crops cant grow, we have no food to eat and vegetables, we wash hands, wash dishes, laundry every day... A moment also can not do without water. We cant live without water. Since the water effect, we should save water, form the good habit of saving water, do people go to close the tap, dont throw the rubbish into the river... Keep water clean.

For all of us have a good living environment, let us together hand in hand together, starts from me, start from now, sets up the idea of saving water, protecting water, take good care of water is to take care of ourselves.

In order to our better future, we all work together!

水是生命的源泉。人类离不开水，动物、植物也离不开水。我们每天要喝水、用水，不光我们需要水，水里的鱼儿、田里的庄稼、山上的树木等等都需要水。有的人可能这么想：水是永远用不完，爱怎么浪费就怎么浪费，这种想法是不对的，我们应该改变这种想法。

我听妈妈说，在我们城里的这条小河，在她们小的时候河里清澈见底，她们经常在河水里捉鱼、捉虾、游戏玩耍，可是到了现在却到处是垃圾，成了一条干枯的小河。

水与我们每一个人都关系密切，如果没有水，农作物就无法生长，我们就没有吃的粮食和蔬菜了，我们每天洗手、洗菜、洗衣…一刻也离不开水。如果没有水，我们就不能生存。既然水的作用那么大，我们就应该节约用水，从小养成节约用水的好习惯，做到人走关好水龙头、不把垃圾扔到河里…使水能够保持干净。

为了我们大家有一个良好的生活环境，让我们一起携手起来，从我做起，从现在做起，树立起节水、护水的观念，爱护水就是爱护我们自己。

为了我们美好的未来，我们大家一起努力吧!

One possible version:

Changes in My Hometown

Great changes have taken place in my hometown these years. There used to be old and low houses on the streets,but now you can see people live and work in tall buildings. In the past, you could always see rubbish everywhere. But now the environment is clean and tidy. Many trees are planted on both sides of the street, so the air is very fresh.There were not any buses in my hometown, so most of us used to walk to work or go to school by bike.However, life is much better now. Many people buy their own cars, so they go out by car.

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 of 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.

说起环境这个词，总感觉离我们好像好远、好远。它仿佛一位美丽的天使，默默的守护在我们的身边，无私的奉献着自己的一生。就像妈妈一样疼爱我们，身为“子女”的我们爱它还来不急呢？又怎么会去伤害它呢？

我们在“母亲”怀抱里过着无忧无虑的生活，我们日出而作、日落而息。生活是多么的幸福。在那时树木常青，绿水环绕。仿若人间仙境，令人陶醉。可是，俗话说的好：“一切美丽的事物都是短暂的，再美好的花儿多有凋谢的时候。”经过时间的推移，我们的物质欲望越来越大，想要过上更好的生活。为此大量的树木遭到砍伐，小动物们无家可归，土地沙漠化越来越严重。生态环境遭到严重的破坏。说到这里，我都有点无言以对了。我们人类为了自己的一己私利，却使得生态环境遭到这么严重的破坏，难道我们就一点都不感到自私吗？为了自己，不惜伤害大自然，这种代价未免也太大了吧！这时有人可能会说：“这大自然又不会说话，它又感觉不到痛。在说了，这自然资源本就应该属于我们人类，我们想怎么用就怎么用！”唉，大自然无私的将自己的一切都奉献给了我们。可到头来它所得到的回报又是什么呢？只有我们对它无穷无尽的伤害。你听大自然“母亲”在哭泣；马路爷爷在痛苦的呻吟着；小河弟弟在苦苦哀求着我们：“放过他们吧，给他们最后一丝对生活的希望吧！”

再回过头来想想我们，难道我们如今所拥有的一切都是自己所应得的吗？回首我们所做的一切：将自己吃剩的饭菜随便倒掉；洗手后，故意不关水龙头让水白白浪费掉；每次为了自己所谓的“面子”，点上一大桌子的菜，可就吃上几口，就撤了下去。还有，为了干净就大量的使用一次性餐具。你知道吗？这意味着就会有成百上千的树木面临“灭顶之灾”。将还剩的纸张随手一扔；乱扔垃圾等等。这恐怕都是我们经常干的事情吧。但是我们在做这些事情的时候有没有认真考虑过会对我们的环境有怎样的影响。现如今，在大城市中，环境问题早以成为社会关注的焦点。大气污染、水污染、全球变暖等等一系列的社会环境问题都以迫在眉睫。由于我们的行为，导致有些动物有可能甚至丧命。例如：人们为了发展经济，大力发展工业，工厂内所生产的废水无法处理。只好将废水排放到河道中，由于河水受到污染，河中的生物都没能躲过这场“大劫难”。唉，如果动物们都消失了，我们人类还能继续生存下去吗？所以，导致环境恶化的罪魁祸首就是我们人类。

到现在，我们还会理直气壮的说：“这一切都是我们应得的吗？恐怕不是吧！人类只有在失去时才会懂得珍惜。

如今，我现在终于明白了。原来我们也是大自然的一份子，我们的生活与大自然息息相关，为了我们美好明天，我们应该共同努力，从一点一滴做起，保护环境，共同保护我们赖依生存的家园——地球。

Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to

improve his way of life。 With the tools of technology he has altered many

physical features of the earth。 He has transformed woodlands and prairies into

farms and made lakes and reserviors out of rivers for irrigation purposes or

hydroelectric power。 Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining

marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways。

However， mans changes to the physical environment have not always had

beneficial results。 Today， pollution of the air and water is an increasing

danger to the health of the planet。 Each day thousands of tons of gases e out of

the exhausts of motor vehicles。 Smoke from factories pollutes the air of

industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside。 The pollution

of water is equally harmful。 The whole ecological balance of the sea is being

changed and industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless。

Now environmental protection is more pressing than ever before。 As we know，

massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even

poses a great threat to mans existence。 Indifference to these problems will

mean mitting suicide。 Therefore， effective measures should be taken and laws

passed to conserve environment。 Otherwise，man is certain to suffer from the

serious consequences caused by this lack of care for his living

surroundings。
