保护自然英语作文通用2篇 作文怎么写(合集20篇)

It seems we are living in the conflict between modern and traditional cultures every day.Hearing the blaring of horns the moment you step out of your house,seeing the so called "pop" the moment you open your eyes,you cant help thinking,"Will the traditional culture be gradually lost?"

Many people believe so.They may put right in front of you all the evidences they can dig out.They may argue that people are rushing to restaurants instead of cooking at home,listening to pop music but not traditional,wearing in a way people couldnt imagine ten years ago.Modern people like the air of freedom,not to be restrained by traditions.They offer this long list,only trying to confirm that this world is full of fashion,competition and temptation and the traditional culture is fading and will be lost at last.

Though we are now living in a world in which undeclared aggression,war,hypocrisy,chicanery,anarchy are part of our daily life.Though this is a skeptical age,and our faith has weakened,our confidence in some aspects of the traditional culture should and would never be lost.

Wouldnt you agree that our traditional culture is always credited with modesty,politeness and respectfulness,which have always been treasured for more than five thousand years?Even in this modern world,people still admire those with good manners,those who are polite to others or respectful to old people.

Wouldnt you agree that our Chinese traditional music is beautiful and artistic and our Chinese tea culture is always an appealing treasure to people around the world?

So there may just be some changes in our lifestyle or our attitudes towards life,but little change occurs to some fundamental aspects of our traditional culture that people still treasure in heart.

The traditional culture will never be lost,I believe.

Animals are our friends.But how to protect them? government is working to protect all animals in danger,and has made lots of plans to save animals. On the other hand, we shouldn’t eat wild animals.We should keep them away from our dinner. That way,there will not be wild animals on sale. I think the hunters and killers will become fewer and fewer.

Last, we should protect the environment.We should stop people from cutting trees down. Without trees, wild animals will lose their home. And we will lose our animal friends. All of us should try our best to protect animals.

We need to protect animals better.We should give them fresh water to drink.We should make the forests bigger for animals in danger to live in.We should advice people not to kill animals beacause they are our friends!

Why should we protect wildlife animals?

Do you know of any endangered animals?Why are they in danger?

I think there are many endangered animals in the world,such as tigers and pandas.When farmers cut down trees,tigers can no longer hide and hunt.Many tigers are killed by people who want to sell their fur for money.And there are few places where pandas can live.We are not alone in the world.We human beings could not live without all the plants and animals around us.So protecting wildlife animals are very important.We must take measures to keep plants from being destroyed and stop animals from being killed.If each of us can plant a tree and build a birdhouse,the world will be more beautiful.It is very easy but useful.

Nowadays, the environmental protection is becoming one of the most important issues in the world. Being one of the members of our society, what shall we do to protect the environment

First, stop using plastic bags, boxes and bottles. Stores should be required to use the bags, boxes and bottles which are made from paper. Secondly, more and more trees and flowers should be planted to keep our surrounding clean. People must be required to plant plants around their houses and work places.

Finally, we must control the pollution by law, according to which, polluted water and air exhausted from factories should be forbidden.

These are some of the measures that we can take to protect our environment and they are not hard tasks for us. Remember, the earth is the only planet we could live at present.

Since the first day, BNBM has paid more attention to protect the environment as its social responsibility, by developing green building materials, producing green products and creating green enterprise. According to the spirit of "From the nature, for the nature and return to the mature", BNBM has tried its best in developing new technology and improving equipment to reduce the pollution.

Now the earth is yellow and the green is decreasing. Whats going on here? It turns out that people are cutting down trees, which not only causes the birds to lose their home, but also causes the collapse, the flood and so on. Without trees, our earth would seem to be missing a supporting beam.

You know what? Waste batteries contain a lot of heavy metal pollutants - chromium, lead, mercury, etc. The effects of pollution from used batteries are slow and profound. When they are mixed with ordinary household waste, under certain conditions, will produce a series of chemical reactions, slowly releasing toxic substances, these toxic substances atmospheric pollution when burned, seeping into the underground pollution of groundwater and rivers and lakes; Once in the soil water, it will enter the body through the food chain, damaging the nervous system, hematopoietic function, kidneys and bones. Therefore, it belongs to hazardous waste. Experiments show that a mercury battery pollutes more than one persons lifetime total.

Dont think that a few drops of water in a water bridle cant make a difference. A water bridle drops a drop of water every second, and a year is a waste of 36 square water. If a family saves one person per month, how much water is saved in a month?

Fortunately, people have learned the earth now to be polluted, everyone has to act, I hope people who didnt act, they bent and picked up the paper on the ground, a low back, let us tomorrow is more beautiful, neat!

[初中关于保护环境的英语作文

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.

Water pollution on the impact of industrial and agricultural production of industrial and agricultural production not only need to have enough water, but also have some requirements for water quality. Otherwise, the industrial and agricultural industry will cause great losses, especially in the industrial and agricultural production process using contaminated water, the human has a great harm. First, the destruction of industrial equipment, a serious impact on product quality. Second, the chemical composition of the soil changes, fertility decreased, leading to crop reduction and serious pollution. Third, the city to increase domestic water and industrial water treatment costs.

Clean air is the necessary material basis for people to survive, an adult to breathe an average of 15 cubic meters of air a day, if people breathe heavily polluted air, no doubt harmful to health. Therefore, the study of the impact of air pollution, awareness of the value of clean air is a very complex frontier research project. And children in the growth and development stage, is the most sensitive to the outside world air pollution, the study of air pollution on children more likely to obtain valuable results. Based on this, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, China Environmental Monitoring Station Chief Engineer Wei Fusheng for the Chinese chief scientist of the Sino-US scientific and technological cooperation projects one by one air pollution on the impact of human respiratory health research, in Guangzhou, Wuhan, Lanzhou, Chongqing and other cities and suburbs The results showed that 8196 questionnaires were used to investigate the pulmonary function of children in the air, including environmental monitoring data, and about 3 million data were obtained. After statistical analysis, Air pollution has a quantitative understanding of the effects of human respiratory health (especially children). The results confirmed that the impact on human health to the fine particles of air pollution is most serious (China has 2/3 of the city exceeded), followed by sulfur dioxide pollution (1/3 of our city exceeded), the impact of nitrogen oxide pollution relative Weak. It can be said that fine particles (respirable particulate matter) is the first killer of human health. According to experts, particulate matter attached to the toxic heavy metals, acidic oxides compared with the soil enrichment hundreds of times, thousands of times, or even tens of thousands of times, and can float in the air up to several days, harmful substances with the inhalation Particles into the human lungs, and may through the alveolar into the blood, directly endanger human health.

Recently, the eight-year research results in Beijing adopted by the State Environmental Protection Administration presided over the expert appraisal. Experts believe that this research results for our understanding of the importance of clean air, improve the public and the leadership of environmental awareness is of great significance. The data of the research results provide a scientific basis for the national air environment legislation, the development and revision of air quality standards, emission standards and air pollution control policies.

Chinahas a very long and brilliant history, whose people are so friendly

and hospitable. But I am wondering why some people pay such little attention to

the environment and nature. In many places of the countryside, rivers have

become stinking sewers and brooks have disappeared. Heaps of garbage obstructs

the scarce flow of dirty water. The grounds are littered with plastic bottles

and bags. People are cutting down trees even though it is illegal. In some

towns, rubbish is hidden behind walls. Garbage cans are often of little use,

making cleaners must rush all day long and also by night to clean the

rubbish.

This lack of consideration for nature in general is extremely detrimental

to children’s education, toChina’s image, to public health, to tourism and to

the future.Chinais the common treasure of all Chinese, and we should live up to

be a member of this big family, a descendant of 5000-year-plus ancient civilized

country. I think the environment must absolutely be strictly protected by all

means. This protection should go at the same pace as the marvelous development

of the nation.

In this respect,Germanyis a rare model and leaves me a very deep

impression. After you have an exciting tour around in this country for a week or

so, it is unnecessary for you to polish your leather shoes. Personally, first of

all, the strong awareness of people’s environmental protection; then, the

advanced technology applied in the field of preserving the nature; We can learn

form others in building China into one of the most environmentally friendly

places in the world.

当看到“珍惜资源，爱我国土”这个主题的时候，很多同学会想：这和我有什么关系呢？我们祖国地大物博，资源丰富；我们神圣的国土不是有解放军叔叔保卫么？但是，上网查一下，你会了解珍惜资源，保护国土的重要性；咨询一下长辈，你会发现重视这个问题已经刻不容缓。

我生活在一个可爱的小村庄，这里山清水秀，哺育了世世代代淳朴的村民。老辈人经常说：“这里是风水宝地，是好地方。”我们深为自己的家乡而自豪。

那是记忆中的情景。看啊，远处的小山起伏连绵，长满了各色植物，一年四季变换色彩。春天，小山换上嫩绿的春装，一派生机盎然的景象。我经常和奶奶去挖野菜，我们一边唱着山歌，一边欣赏着美丽的风景：层层梯田很有层次感，勤劳的庄稼人在努力地耕耘、种下一年的新希望。我感觉到，这就叫做“希望的田野”啊！夏天，我和小伙伴们上山去捕蝉，看到田野里的庄稼们正努力而茁壮地生长着，烈日炎炎下，他们却愈发精神，深绿色的叶子伸展着，迎风招摇着……最美好的就是秋季了，跟随家长上山干活儿，丰收景象让人欢欣鼓舞：大豆黄澄澄，玉米颗粒饱满，一大摊花生刚刨出地就引来啧啧称赞，苹果红着脸微笑；菜园里也是色彩纷呈，茄子紫溜溜，西红柿红彤彤，大白菜和大萝卜翠翠绿……我总是边帮忙干点活，边给嘴巴解解馋。我总是想，这是大自然给予我们的最慷慨的馈赠，这是神奇的大地母亲用甘甜的乳汁换来的丰硕食物，多么了不起的土地啊！在它无私而宽广的胸怀面前，我们要虔诚地膜拜！所以说，我从小就是一个热爱土地的孩子，和土地有着亲密的感情。

但是，两三年前，我却发现了异乎从前的一些景象。村里的很多壮年人外出打工赚钱，将田地撇下荒着，或者由岁数大的人代为照管。老人体力有限，很多庄稼活儿干起来力不从心，庄稼长得也差强人意。我问长辈问什么会这样，他们告诉我：“种地不挣钱，即使国家给补贴，也远不如外出打工赚钱。多好的地呀，就这样荒着，舍不得啊。”看着长辈惋惜而无奈的神情，我心里也真不是滋味。不能物尽其用，这实际上也是对土地资源的一种浪费呀。

我还发现，土地里有很多地膜残留其中，据我所知，这些地膜的残留率达到近40％，它们极难降解，既不受微生物侵蚀，也不能自行分解，其降解周期一般为200～300年，降解过程中还会溶出有毒物质，给后人带来难以解决的污染危害。而且由于残膜影响和破坏了土壤理化性状，必然造成作物根系生长发育困难。凡具有残膜的土壤，阻止根系串通，影响正常吸收水分和养分；作物株间施肥时，有大块残膜隔肥，影响肥效，致使产量下降。

令我忧心忡忡的还有其他污染对土地造成的危害。比如废旧电池、水污染、农药等，都对土地造成不易逆转的伤害。这些毒素残存于土地母亲的体内，我们可敬又可怜的土地母亲啊，您的儿女们其实是想让您健康自然，千秋长寿的呀！

我呼吁有关部门，重视我所说的相关问题，让耕地资源可持续发展，让我的家乡再次成为春耕秋收、和谐美丽的村庄！

敬爱的市长：

您好！

非常抱歉，打扰了您，希望百忙中的您看一下我的建议书。我是一名小学六年级的学生，当我学到第三组课文时，我知道了地球是唯一的，人类不能指望移居到别的星球，而自然资源也是有限的。所以我们不能破坏地球，要珍惜地球上的资源。

我虽然懂得了要珍惜资源，保护环境，但我发现我的周围却有许多不好的现象。在我家旁边一些妇女，她们洗衣服时，把水桶放在免费水龙头下接水，自己却走在一边聊天，水满了她们也不管。在学校里，有些同学洗完毛巾会忘记关水，让水龙头一直“哗哗”的流着。不光有连费水资源的现象还有环境污染的现象。比如：大家乱扔垃圾，洗完菜把菜叶扔在小河里。浪费电的现象我也常见，在家，电视开着没人看，手机充好电不马上拔掉……

这些不好的现象实在是太多了，都是因为人们的环境意识淡薄，政府部门没有严厉的制度和相应的处罚措施。可现在补救还来得及，我们应该想些办法来阻止这一切。比如：让更多地方的水笼头都普级成感应水龙头，没有这种条件的地区也可以在水沌池旁立一块牌子提醒人们关紧水龙头。这样就会避免浪费水的现象。我们还要扩大宣传力度，尽量不要发宣传单，而是让电视台多拨出一些工益广告，让人们有保护环境的责任心.阻止大汽污染首先要从汽车尾气下手，禁止一些尾气排放量大的车上路，或者让这些车重新改装，让所有的车都达到绿色标准。而保护环境要采取强质性行动，在马路上多加一些垃坏桶，乱扔垃圾的人要罚款。

以上就是我的建议。市长！让我们携起手来，积极投身到保护环境的活动中，改造我们可爱的地球！让它以全新的姿态展现在我们眼前！

THE EARTH,our dearest mother--BUT,my friends,do any of you have considered how serious the problem will be when the earth is polluted,the air is not fresh,the forest is not flourishing?The environment pollution exist everywhere,the earth will lose its luster noon.my friends,shold we still keep insensible?our earth mother is not smiling anymore,doesn‘t it do something to us?Let‘s moving,my dear classmates,carry out environmental protection with a trifle to make the earth a pure land,and,let it hold a charming smile!

环境保护的英语作文篇三

There are still many problems of enviromental 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 peoples health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. Whats more, vegetation has 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, government are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion , to protect environment, the goernment 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 mean more pollution.Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionalli should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

目前环保还存在着许多问题。最严重的问题就是空气、水和土壤的严重污染。污染的空气对人类的健康十分有害。污染的水引起疼病，造成死亡。更有甚者，随着现代社会的迅速扩建，植被大大的减少。

为了保护环境，各国政府做了大量的工作。采用了立法措施控制大气污染，保护森林资源和海洋资源，制止任何环境污染。因此，在当今的环保中政府起着最重要的作用。

我的看法是，为了保护环境，政府应当采取更具体的措施。首先，应当通过教育的方法使人们充分謒到环境保护的重要性。第二，应更加努力把计划生育政策付诸实施，因为人口多就意味着污染严重。最后，要严惩那些故意破坏环境者。使他们破坏环境就是毁灭人类自己。

你们好，我今天要演讲的题目是“保护环境从我做起。”

同学们，我想你们也听说过这句提示语吧！我们居住的地球是经过亿万年的漫长演化，才逐步形成了今天能够适合生命生长的环境，地球正是有了生命而变得缤纷多彩，美轮美奂。在几十万年前地球孕育出了高等生物——人类。然而随着人类活动范围的不断扩张，我们的生存环境也变得越来越糟糕起来，我们周围的一些丑恶现象比比皆是。比如：乱扔垃圾，浪费水资源，甚至连江河湖海都被污染得污浊不堪。我还亲眼看到过那些堆积在马路边上的“垃圾山”，那些垃圾一袋一袋地堆起来，大到旧电器，小到果皮，它们赌在马路上，又脏又臭，还防碍了人们的通行。大家看我们美丽的生活环境正遭到破坏，我们能视而不见吗！

Excuse me waiter, there’s a shark in my soup

Some 200m years before dinosaurs made their appearance on earth and thus quite some time before Homo sapiens began celebrating nuptials at extravagant wedding banquets, sharks swam the oceans. Sharks are older than trees. They have survived at least four planetary mass extinctions.

在恐龙在地球上出现之前两亿年左右，也就是在现代人(Homo sapiens)开始举办奢华婚宴之前相当久远的时候，鲨鱼们就已经在海洋中游弋。鲨鱼比树还要古老。它们至少经历了四次地球物种灭绝，一直活到了今天。

The link between these ancient predators and contemporary wedding receptions is that, among Chinese people, it is a sign of generosity and prestige to serve guests shark-fin soup. Since there are more than 1.3bn Chinese people, and since they are getting more affluent by the day, that is of no little consequence to the shark population. Some 70m sharks are killed each year for their fins. Much of the time, the fins are sliced off with a blade at sea and the bloody shark torso thrown back in the water to die.

这种古老的食肉动物和当代婚宴之间的联系在于，在中国人眼中，请客人吃鱼翅羹是慷慨与体面的标志。由于中国有13亿多人口，并且中国人一天比一天富裕，吃鱼翅对鲨鱼数量可谓影响重大。为了获取鱼翅，人类每年要捕杀约7000万条鲨鱼。大多数时候，人们在海上用刀把鱼鳍割下来，然后便将血淋淋的鲨鱼躯干扔入海里，任由它们死去。

The California state legislature is debating a bill co-sponsored by Paul Fong, a Chinese-American Democrat, to ban the sale, consumption and trade of shark fin. Hawaii, Oregon and Washington state already impose similar bans. California accounts for 85 per cent of shark fin eaten in the US. The bill sailed through the lower house assembly, but is being held up in the state senate because of concerns it discriminates against Chinese Americans.

加利福尼亚州立法机构正在讨论由民主党人、美籍华人方文忠(Paul Fong)联合提议的一项旨在禁止贩卖、消费和交易鱼翅的议案。夏威夷州、俄勒冈州和华盛顿州已经实施了类似的禁令。加州的鱼翅食用量占到美国鱼翅总食用量的85%。州众议院会议已通过了此项议案，但因担心法案有歧视美籍华人的嫌疑，州参议院还未对其投票表决。

What people eat is, indeed, a sensitive topic and one that generates much hypocrisy. Different cultures have formed their own taboos about what is proper, and not proper, to eat. Muslims and Jews don’t eat pigs, Hindus don’t eat cows and most Americans don’t eat snake or whale. Jains, and vegetarians of all cultures, don’t eat any animals at all.

人们吃什么确实是一个敏感的话题，也会催生许多虚伪的作风。对于可以吃什么、不可以吃什么，不同的文化有着各自的禁忌。穆斯林和犹太教徒不吃猪肉，印度教徒不吃牛肉，而大多数美国人不吃蛇肉或鲸肉。耆那教徒(Jains)和各种文化中的素食主义者都不吃任何动物。

Westerners are particularly prone to turning up their nose at what other people eat. Their position is mostly illogical and sometimes offensive. They tend to mentally divide animals into those you eat (like pigs, sheep and chickens); those you cuddle or stroke (cats, dogs and horses); and those too ugly, unusual or intelligent to eat (say beetles, zebras and dolphins). Many profess to loathe barbarity – think clubbing seals – yet are happy to eat veal or to ignore what goes on in their friendly neighbourhood abattoir.

西方人尤其看不惯其它文化社会的人们所吃的东西。他们的出发点大多不合逻辑，有时可能还会触犯众怒。他们往往在心里把动物分为好几类：吃的(如猪、羊和鸡)、搂抱或抚摸的(猫、狗和马)以及太丑、太怪或太聪明而不能吃的(比如甲虫、斑马和海豚)。许多人都公开对残暴行为表示憎恶——例如用棍子猎杀海豹——但却爱吃小牛肉，或佯装对自己居住的友好社区的屠宰场里发生的一切毫不知晓。

Michael Moore, the American documentary film-maker, brilliantly – if possibly inadvertently – exposed this self-delusion in Roger & Me. In a scene that was meant to highlight the poverty of Flint, Michigan, a woman selling rabbits is shown asking customers if they want “pets or meat”. If the answer is “pet”, the cuddly bunny is handed over to a delighted child. If “meat”, the hapless creature is clubbed to death with a lead pipe and skinned on the spot.

美国纪录片电影制片人迈克尔?摩尔(Michael Moore)在《罗杰和我》(Roger & me)中绘声绘色地(也可能是不经意地)披露了这种自欺欺人的行径。在展现密歇根州弗林特(Flint)贫困状况的一个场景中，有个女人在卖兔子，她问顾客要买“宠物还是兔肉”。如果答案是“宠物”，她就把小兔子交给一个满心欢喜的孩子。如果答案是“兔肉”，她便当场用一根铅管把这个可怜的动物打死并把皮剥下来。

The richer societies get, the more finicky they tend to become. Many (including myself) waste half the animal they have had killed on their behalf, refusing to consume its organs, intestines, brain and so on. These parts are often eaten, and sometimes prized, in non-western societies, particularly in Asia. In their willingness to consume almost all the animal, both China and Japan score far better than most western countries.

社会越是富有，往往就会变得越挑剔。许多人(包括我在内)会浪费掉因为他们而被杀死的动物的一半，我们拒绝食用它们的器官、肠子和脑子等等部位。但在西方之外的社会、尤其是亚洲，人们通常是吃这些的，而且有时还会将其视若珍品。就吃下动物所有部位的意愿而言，中国和日本要远远排在大多数西方国家的前面。

Surely, then, one can’t object to eating shark fin? Yet one can and one should. The reasons are to do with conservation and our broader ecosystem. Some species of shark have been depleted by 70 per cent and a few, such as smooth hammerhead, bull sharks and tiger sharks, by 90 per cent or more. Sharks are the ocean’s top predators. Their absence causes havoc. Off the east coast of America, sharks used to eat bottom-feeding rays. With shark numbers massively depleted, the rays have had a field day devouring scallops, clams and oysters, rapidly reducing stocks.

这么说来，想必我们不能反对吃鱼翅了?不，我们可以反对，而且也应当反对。因为这关系到环境保护以及更广泛生态系统的保护。一些种类的鲨鱼数量已减少了70%，少数几个种类的数量减少了90%，例如平双髻鲨、牛鲨和虎鲨。鲨鱼是位于海洋食物链最顶端的捕食者。若没有它们，生态系统会发生混乱。在美国东海岸附近，鲨鱼通常以在水底觅食的魟鱼为食。由于鲨鱼数量急剧减少，魟鱼就会趁机吃掉很多扇贝、蛤蜊和牡蛎，使这些物种的数量迅速减少。

Once shark fins are dried and in jars, it is all but impossible to tell what kind of shark they came from or whether they were finned. At one store in the Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong, a city where half the world’s shark fin is traded, a salesman admits he has no idea whether the fins come from endangered species. His shop does not sell shark meat, and he says it could be true that the carcase is simply tossed into the sea. As well as the cruelty, there is also the incredible waste. The average shark stretches to about 10 bowls of soup.

鲨鱼的鳍一旦被晒干并放入罐里，便几乎无可判断它们来自哪种鲨鱼，或者是否是被割下来的。在鱼翅交易量占全球一半的香港，上环区一家商店的一位销售人员坦承，他不清楚店里的鱼翅是否来自濒危鲨鱼。他的店里不卖鲨鱼肉，并且他表示，鲨鱼的尸体被直接抛回海里可能是真事。岂止是残忍，这也是一种巨大的浪费。平均每条鲨鱼只能加工出大约10碗鱼翅汤。

Certainly, shark fin is traditional. As one writer points out, to ask people to stop eating it is the equivalent of suggesting Americans give up turkey for Thanksgiving. There is doubtless a case for banning other types of food, such as some types of caviar and some species of whale. But cultures are not immutable. Traditions change, especially when they are unsustainable.

不错，鱼翅是一种传统食物。正如一位作家所指出的那样，要求人们不吃鱼翅就好比让美国人过感恩节时不要吃火鸡。我们无疑有理由禁止食用其它食物，比如某类鱼子酱和某些种类的鲸。但文化也不是一成不变的。传统会发生变化，尤其是当它们难以为继的时候。

Fortunately, many of the most prominent campaigners against shark fin are Chinese, with Yao Ming, the recently retired basketball sensation, among the most passionate. In Hong Kong, where shark fin used to be de rigueur at Cantonese banquets, many young people refuse to eat it. Besides, sharks have less cachet now they are siphoned from the oceans on an industrial scale.

值得庆幸的是，在反对吃鱼翅的最著名活动人士之中，许多都是中国人，比如近期退役的篮球明星姚明，就是行动最积极的人士之一。在香港，鱼翅曾是粤宴上的必备菜肴，但如今许多青年人拒绝食用鱼翅。此外，在捕杀鲨鱼实现工业化规模的今天，鱼翅的身价已大不如前。

In Canada, more than a few ethnic Chinese couples have made a show of not serving shark fin at their wedding. Judy Lao recently told the Vancouver Province why she didn’t have it at her reception. “We don’t really care, our friends don’t care, and shark fin has no nutritional value anyway,” she said. “So why should we serve it?” Why indeed.

在加拿大，许多对华裔夫妇已做出表率，在婚宴上不供应鱼翅。Judy Lao最近向《温哥华省报》(Vancouver Province)解释了，为什么她的婚宴没有上鱼翅。“我们并不介意这些，我们的朋友也不介意，再说鱼翅根本也没有什么营养价值，”她表示。“所以，我们为什么要上鱼翅呢?”确实，这有什么必要呢?

同学当早晨第一缕阳光悄悄洒落校园时，咱们身处郁郁葱葱的树林，耳边是悦耳动听的鸟声，你心中有何感想?当灰茫茫的天空弥漫着尘土和黑烟，苍蝇蚊子的“嗡嗡声”，嘈杂的喧哗声充斥着你的耳朵，你又会怎么想?

这是个不必回答的问题，谁不想仰望蓝天，俯看绿地，大口呼吸新鲜的空气，身处幽静的环境?谁不想自己的家干净、清幽而充满温馨?而咱们的校园就是咱们的家，是咱们三千名同学共同的家园。

绿，生命的颜色；绿，环保的颜色。有了绿色，便有了清新的空气；有了绿色，便有了沁鼻的花香；有了绿色，便有了健康的生命；有了绿色，便有了美丽的校园。咱们的学校是传播文化的场所，是学生获得知识、培养正确的人生观价值观和养成良好行为习惯的场所，创建绿色校园是咱们每个学生义不容辞的责任啊!

现在全国许多学校在举办“绿色校园”的活动，咱们学校也不例外。每个班级的同学都把自己家的花花草草搬到学校。许多同学在校园里的各个角落捡拾果皮纸屑，用自己的双手去保护校园环境的优美。但是，我仍然发现：有人乱丢纸屑、食品袋、废弃物；有人在草坪上肆意践踏；有人在墙壁上乱涂乱画……

同学们，咱们是21世纪的主人，应当切实地树立起时代的责任感，心系全球，着眼身边，立足校园：“勿以善小而不为，勿以恶小而为之”，从我做起，从小事做起，从现在做起，从爱护校园环境做起；一片纸，咱们捡起；一滴水，咱们节约；一堆垃圾，咱们打扫；一朵花，咱们珍惜；一棵草，咱们爱护。咱们要用自己的实际行动保护环境，培养咱们的绿色意识，让绿色生命激发咱们热爱生活，热爱学习。

同学们，为了校园的“绿色”，让咱们行动起来，为珍惜绿色、爱护绿色、创造绿色献出自己的一份力量！

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。

以前的西塘，景色优美，风光宜人，塘水清澈见底，小鱼儿在水中漫步，野鸭们和各种不知名的小精灵在水上戏耍，塘边垂柳婀娜多姿，花儿争奇斗艳……可后来西塘却变了。

西塘变成了“垃圾场”。塘面上漂着许多垃圾袋，有时还漂着臭南瓜。水面下全都是黑黑的泥和人们丢的果皮。怎样才能让西塘不受污染呢?

从现在开始，我们要清理塘底的污泥，不让塘水流进西塘里，我们要塘边放一些垃圾桶，还要立一些告示牌，告诉塘边商店的老板和过往的行人不要乱丢垃圾了。

让我们行动起来，加入保护西塘的环境的行列中去吧!我相信不久的将来，西塘一定能像以前那样美的。
