2010.3

As is known to us all, the surrounding has a great impact on our study and lives. In recent years, creating a green campus has been a common and popular goal for most universities or colleges. Creating a green campus has a great influence on students because most students spend their much time in campus.

However, in my opinion, to create green campus, what we need to do is not only to plant more trees and grasses to beautify our campus’s environment but also to create an energy-efficient and resource-cycled campus. Everyone on campus should be informed to form the habit of using resources properly and saving energy. In addition, the institutions should encourage students to use resources circularly.

In a word, creating a green campus needs us to make joint efforts. And we can achieve it by doing pieces of small matters in daily life, such as turning off the light when leaving.

As time goes by, man is making the earth sick. People cut down too many trees and leave rubbish everywhere. Factories let out their waste without doing anything to it . This has caused some serious problems. Such as the land is sandy, the river is dirty, the air is less clean, even the temperature of the earth is rising. What should we do to save the earth ? My suggestion is that we should plant more trees, put rubbish into dusbins and stop factories (from)pouring waste directly into the air or rivers. In all, we have only one earth, we should do our best to protect it, or we will regret.

How to protect our environment has become one of the biggest problems in the world. We do everything can do a real difference to our environment.

We need to pick up litter around us. Youd better join a programme to protect our environment. You mustnt cut down too many trees. We can protect factories from polluting the rivers.

We can do our best to keep the air clear! I hope everyone do these!

How Freshmen Adapt to the New Environment?

When freshmen enter the university at the first time they have to deal with all kinds of affairs independently.Whether a new student can understand and become familiar with the environment of the campus rapidly will determine whether he can live and study freely.

Firstly,the freshmen should be familiar with layout of the campus as soon as possible.As soon as freshmen arrange properly their luggage after entering the university,they should familiarise themselves with every location in the campus at once.In this way,they will save more time and get along smoother than others when they go through various kinds of formalities and solve various kinds of problems.

Secondly,freshmen should consult seniors more. It is the swiftest method to ask those familiar with the environment of the campus.

Finally,holding certain positions in the class can also help freshmen to adapt to their life on campus.

In recent years,we can clearlyfeelthe environment around usis more and moreobviouspollution,environmentalsafety problems have beenvery serious.Because of ourpreviouspolicy isheavy economic development,light environmental protection,resulting inenvironmental pollution,ecological damage is very serious,mainly manifested in the following aspects:

近几年来，我们可以明显的感觉到我们身边的环境污染愈显明显，环境安全问题已十分严重。因为我国以往的政策方针是重经济发展，轻环境保护，所以造成环境污染、生态破坏十分严重，主要表现为以下几个方面：

In the atmosphereof security,since the middle of the twentieth Century,industry andthe rapid development of transportation,causingairpollution is increasing.Air pollutionisharmful to human health,but alsoaffectthe growth of plants and animals,destruction ofbuilding materials,serious when canalter the earths climate.According to the survey,China each yearfrom air pollutionand economiclosses amounted to about 100000000000 yuan.

在大气安全方面，20世纪中叶以来，工业和交通运输迅速发展，造成了大气污染的日益加重。大气污染既危害人体健康，又影响动植物的生长，破坏建筑材料，严重时会改变地球的气候。据调查显示，我国每年因大气污染造成的经济损失高达1000多亿元。

In the water security,waterpollution in Chinais very serious,widespread around thedrinking watersafety problems,a direct threat tohuman and animalsurvival.In recent years,although theinvestmentfund managementa lot ofHuaiheand other waters,but the effect is not obvious,the overall situationis still deteriorating.

在水安全方面，我国水污染问题十分严重，各地普遍存在着饮用水安全问题，直接威胁到人畜生存。近几年虽然投入大量的资金治理淮河等水域，但效果并不明显，整体情况仍在恶化。

In a biologicalsafety,the invasion of alien speciesmass,a serious threat to thebiological diversity of china.In fact,the blind introduction of foreign species,damage the environmentbalance,serious and evenlead to disastrous consequences.At the same time,because ofthe destruction of the ecological environmentandwildlifehunting,biologicalextinctionrateis rapidly increasing.

在生物安全方面，大规模的外来物种入侵，严重威胁了我国的生物多样性。事实证明，盲目引进外来物种，会破坏环境平衡，严重时甚至带来灾难性的后果。同时，由于生态环境的破坏和对野生动植物的滥捕滥猎，生物消亡的速度正在迅速增加。

In the security of land,theland desertification and soil erosionis very serious.In addition,the cultivated landquality in Chinadecreased very rapidly,at the same time,because of the seriousland pollutionphenomenoncaused byexcessive use ofpesticides,is directly related tofood safety problemof residents in our country.China is adeveloping country,in the face ofenvironmental pollutionpressure not only fromChinaitself,andappliedpressurefromsome developed countries abroad.Therefore the development ofeconomy andenvironmentis a need for us toissuelongface,and it alsoneed to rely on theparticipationof each and every one of us.

在土地安全方面，我国土地荒漠化和水土流失的情况已十分严重。另外，我国耕地质量下降非常迅速，同时由于过度使用农药等造成的严重的耕地污染现象，直接关系到我国居民的食品安全问题。我国是一个发展中大国，面对环境污染方面的压力不仅来自国内本身，还有来自国外一些发达国家施加的压力。因此发展经济和治理环境是一个需要我们长久面对的问题，而这也需要靠我们每个人的共同参与。

Environment and development

Today, the environmental pollution has become an increasingly serious problem, because The development is not in harmony with the environment,The following are some of the reasons for the formation of environmental problems/phenomenon

The society is developing rapidly,But the environment appeared serious problem,First, some factories discharge waste water and waste gas,Second, some people throw rubbish,Some people left writing on the Tourist attractions ,Third, some people cut down trees and kill endangered animal

In order to protect the environment and solve environmental pollution, I have some suggestions

First, government departments should strengthen supervision, and take appropriate punitive measures,Second, social development should not to destroy the environment

Third, everyone should have the awareness of environmental protection,If each of us to participate in environmental protection, I believe that our life will be more beautiful.

.

Take good care of the environment is everyones responsibility, everyone has the duty to care for the environment. The cries of the earth, is made by human; The formation of natural disasters and human themselves. We cant let such things happen again, because of this our home will face disappear.

With the continuous destruction of forest, make the air fresh, no longer in life make people breathing "not smooth". So, we should protect trees, protect the nature. Let our the earth mother to restore the original appearance.

You every good care environment of small action, will be your memories. Bent down to pick up a piece of waste paper, a word to stop people damage the environment. Will be a thing of the past.

We now do dribs and drabs, not just for the sake of our own, also is a important foundation for our future generations. Let them no longer face the disaster, let they no longer lose family. Take good care of the environment, starts from me!

爱护环境是每个人的职责，每个人有爱护环境的责任。地球的哭泣，是人类所为;自然灾害的形成，也是人类自己造成的。我们不能再让这样的事再发生，因为这样我们的家园即将面临消失。

随着森林的不断毁灭，使生活中的空气不再新鲜，使人们的呼吸“不再顺畅”。所以，我们应该保护树木，保护大自然。让我们的地球妈妈恢复原来的模样。

你每一个爱护环境的小举动，都将成为你美好的回忆。弯下腰捡起一片废纸、一句话阻止人们破坏环境。都将成为历史。

我们现在做的点点滴滴，不仅仅是为了我们自己，也是为我们的子孙后代打下重要的基础。让他们不再面临灾难，让他们不再失去家人。爱护环境，从我做起!

The environment has been polluted badly today and the nature punishes the

human being by all kinds of disasters, such as the heavy haze in Beijing, which

damages people’s health. World Environment Day is on June 5th. It pays attention

to call for the public to make an effort to bring the world a clean

environment.

Look at the pollution around us, which exists everywhere. The cars release

the gas which pollutes the air and the rubbish can be found in every corner of

the street. All of these daily incidents hurts the world we live. Especially the

factories, they release the heavy smoke and make the sky becomes dark. What’s

more, the wasted water flows to the clean river.

Though the government has made some action to punish the businessmen for

releasing the polluted sources, they still dare to take the risk of earning the

biggest profit. If we hurt the environment, it will hurt ourselves, because we

live together. The polluted environment threatens our health. If we want to live

the comfortable life, then the only way is to be nice to the environment.

I am a student in Huaxing Middle School. Do you know the plastic bags? Do you often use the plastic bags? I don’t like them. I think they use the wasting valuable oil their production. And they can’t decompose(分解) in a short time. The plastic bags will make our world worse. I agree with the rule, which people can’t get the free plastic bags in the shops, supermarkets. It encourages people to use their cloth bags and baskets. It’s good for our environment.

So I hope all the students in our class stop to use the plastic bags, and use our own cloth bags. I hope we can take care of our environment.

Let’s make our world more and more beautiful.

What’s more, we should realize that only from our planet can we obtain our sheltering, food, cloth and so forth.

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.

[环境变化英语作文

Environmental protection, there are many problems at present. The most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. Air pollution is very harmful to human health. Polluted water causes pain, resulting in death. Whats more, with the rapid expansion of modern society, vegetation greatly reduced.

In order to protect the environment, governments have done a lot of work. Adopted legislative measures to control air pollution, to protect forest resources and Marine resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, in todays government plays a most important role in environmental protection.

My view is that, in order to protect the environment, the government should take more concrete measures. First of all, should by the methods of education make people fully realize the importance of environmental protection. Second, should be more efforts to put the family planning policy into practice, because more people means severe pollution. Finally, to severely punish those who intentionally damage the environment. That they damage the environment is the destruction of man himself.

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。

How to develop low-carbon economy

There have been many environmental protection problems in recent years . One of the most serious problem is greenhouse gas emissions have caused climate change ,At the same time ,lots of trees have been used and wasted.So our earth is becoming warmer and warmer . .That brings us illnesses and death.

Luckily ，,many countries have done a lot to stop environmental pollution。Its the most important in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion ,on the one hand ,through education we should make people realize that destroying the environment means destroying ourselves,..On the other hand ,we should try to do something to produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

In a word .we must develop low-carbon economy....................

怎样发展低碳经济

现在这些年已经有很多关于保护环境的问题。其中最严重的一个问题就是温室气体排放已经造成了气候改变。同时，很多树木被砍伐掉了，而且大量别的资源已经被用完或者浪费。所以我们的地球变得越来越温暖(热)。这样带给我们的是疾病和死亡。。

幸运的是，很多国家已经采取了很多措施来控制环境污染问题。如今，这是最重要保护环境的措施。

我认为，一方面，虽然教育我们应该让人们意识到破坏环境就是伤害人类自己。另一方面，我们应该尽力做一些事情来控制温室气体增长。

总之，我们必须发展低碳经济。。。

Important to save water

Water is a kind of liquid. It has no taste or smell. It is transparent, too. Water is useful and is important to us. Why? For example, we use water to water the plants. We use water to wash our face or to have a bath. We drink water or we will die…Water is also very important for China. There are 2.8 hundred millions of steres of water in China, but everyone can only use 2300 steres. It is only twenty–five per sent in the world.

Not too long ago, there was a man called Jacques Cousteau. He loved the beautiful colors, and the beautiful fish in the sea. However, when he returned some years later, the colorful coral reefs were dead and grey because the factory near the sea poured waste water into the sea. Jacques Cousteau decided to tell people how important it was to save the environment under the sea. He started the“ Cousteau Society ” to help protect life in the sea. Now there are over 30000 members all over the world. Since water covers most of the earth, Cousteau knew that we should keep the sea clean. We should not litter the sea, and should clean up the dirty parts. As water is very important to our environment, he encouraged everyone to take part in protecting our lakes, rivers, sea and ocean.

There are still a few people who are not protecting the water now in the world. For example, some factories pour waste things into the rivers, lakes or into the sea near by. The water there has become very dirty and we can’t use them at all. Although there are seventy–five per sent of water in the world, we can only use fresh water, that there is only a little. So we should use little water when we need to use it. For example, I do not use too much water when I am washing my face or having a bath… It is important for us to keep the water clean. You may ask yourself, have I ever poured or thrown dirty things into the water? If your answer is “No”, that means you have already helped to protect the environment. It is our duty to protect the environment. You may ask yourself again, have I ever helped to clean up the water? If your answer is “Yes”, that means that you have already done something useful to improve the water. If we use up all the water, it is difficult for us to get it from anywhere, including the universe. It is terrible to think that people are too thirsty to live! I believe, that if everyone helps to protect the water, the water must be protected. You do not want to “kill” your son or your grandson, do you? So now let us to protect the water! Please don’t let the last drop of water on the earth is we human’s tear!

Environmental pollution can cause direct damage and impact to ecosystems, such as desertification and forest damage, which can also cause indirect hazards to ecosystems and human societies. Sometimes the harm of this indirect environmental effect is greater than the direct hazard caused by it, It is more difficult to eliminate. For example, the greenhouse effect, acid rain, and ozone depletion are the environmental effects derived from atmospheric pollution. This environmental effect derived from environmental pollution is lagging behind, often at the time of the occurrence of pollution is not easy to be perceived or expected, but in the event of environmental pollution has been developed to a very serious point. Of course, the most direct and most environmentally conscious consequence of environmental pollution is the decline in the quality of the human environment, affecting human quality of life, physical health and productive activities. Such as the citys air pollution caused by air pollution, peoples morbidity and so on; water pollution so that the deterioration of water quality, drinking water quality generally decline, threatening human health. Serious pollution incidents not only bring health problems, but also cause social problems. With the increase in pollution and peoples awareness of the environment, due to pollution caused by population disputes and conflicts increased year by year.

Let us all love nature, love the earth, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, heart to cast a green embankment, to defend the resources, to defend the environment, to defend the earth, to defend our beautiful home now!

环境污染会给生态系统造成直接的破坏和影响，如沙漠化、森林破坏、也会给生态系统和人类社会造成间接的危害，有时这种间接的环境效应的危害比当时造成的直接危害更大，也更难消除。例如，温室效应、酸雨、和臭氧层破坏就是由大气污染衍生出的环境效应。这种由环境污染衍生的环境效应具有滞后性，往往在污染发生的当时不易被察觉或预料到，然而一旦发生就表示环境污染已经发展到相当严重的地步。当然，环境污染的最直接、最容易被人所感受的后果是使人类环境的质量下降，影响人类的生活质量、身体健康和生产活动。例如城市的空气污染造成空气污浊，人们的发病率上升等等;水污染使水环境质量恶化，饮用水源的质量普遍下降，威胁人的身体健康等。严重的污染事件不仅带来健康问题，也造成社会问题。随着污染的加剧和人们环境意识的提高，由于污染引起的人群纠纷和冲突逐年增加。

让我们都来关爱自然，热爱地球吧，手挽手、肩并肩、心连心地铸起一道绿色环保的大堤，捍卫资源、捍卫环境、捍卫地球、捍卫我们美好的家园吧!

Harmony with the environment is that we live in on Earth,who is a natural son,and not only to natural persons as the conqueror,as we all know,there is only one earth and the mountains on Earth,the animals.Plant human cells,if it damaged,destroyed nature organizations,to the eradication of mankind.Therefore,the environment must be linked with social ethics,character education and practice acts as an important element of it.Everyone must fulfil its responsibilities and obligations to protect the environment.

our lives. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars.They are encouraged to use bicycles, which are thought to help keep the air clean.

But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory cioses down. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment. Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.

每年有越来越多的汽车在新车的人数以百万计的生产道路。出六个一工程美国人制造汽车，驾驶卡车，修建道路或填补气体。美国人不能没有车！

大多数美国人将很难想象没有汽车的生活。然而，一些已经认识到空气污染严重的问题，汽车造成的。污浊的空气变成有毒的和危险的健康。

一个办法让污浊的空气，就是自己做，无污染的汽车。但要建设一个清洁汽车谈何容易。在这一领域的进展非常缓慢。

另一种方法是别的东西取代汽车发动机。发明者现正蒸汽汽车以及电动汽车。许多厂商认为，这将需要几年发展为我们实践模式。

为了防止世界被污染的汽车，我们要在我们的生活有所改变。例如，美国，不得不削减对它们的总人数下降cars.They鼓励使用自行车，这被认为有助于保持空气清洁。

但是，这一变化来之不易。阿大批工人可能会发现自己没有工作，如果汽车厂cioses了。因此，空气污染问题将变得并不重要，重要的失业问题。虽然汽车已使我们更好的生活，他们也给我们带来了新的问题。

I love my school so much, because of the beautiful environment. The first day I walk into the school, I am very impressed by the green trees and the colorful flowers. It seems that I just walk into a park and getlost in the green world. The trees and flowers make me feel so comfortable, and my heart feel the peace.

Everyone should protect the environment, this is the law of nature, if not protect the environment, the world will be contaminated.

To protect the environment from every bit of small start, and I have not done well. Have a New Year, we went to shun feng mountain park, riding a bicycle, we were hungry, we bought a small bag of snacks to eat, while I, eat snacks, I happy too much because it is over, so casually took me to once eat 7 packet snacks packaging thrown on the ground, and then I went in a convenience store in watching TV, while todays TV is very good-looking, half an hour later, I put the mother with all I said before, all my thoughts are indulged in the drama. After 30 minutes, I didnt think of it, but, at that time, his mother angry of say: "you this smelly wenches, didnt I tell you before to protect the environment, you forget?" I said: "Im not forget, I just from watching TV." Mother said: "some important watching TV, or picking up litter some important?" I said: "rubbish." Mother said: "you hurry up to pick up."

And then, I picked up a small pile of junk, throw in the trash, I apologized to his mother not only, I also to shun feng mountain park, sweep the floor every aunt to recognize the fault. Because, if everyone throw a piece of garbage on the ground, and then will add burden to clean the aunt. If you see a piece of garbage on the ground, then you are curved waist, and activities, do a man to protect the environment, is to clean the aunt to reduce burden...

, although it has been over the past year, I learned about it, if the world all throw a piece of garbage on the ground, the whole earth will become a waste, so each of us should protect the environment, protect the earth, the world will be more beautiful!

人人都要保护环境，这是大自然的规律，如果不保护环境，世界就会被污染。

保护环境是从一点一滴的小事做起，而我却没有做好。有一次过新年，我们去顺峰山公园游玩，骑完自行车，我们个个都饿了，我们买了一小包零食来吃，而我，吃完零食，我因为高兴过头了，所以随手就把我吃过的7包零食的包装扔在地上，然后我进去便利店里面看电视，尽管今天的电视剧很好看，过了半个小时，我把以前妈妈跟我说的话忘得一干二净，我所有的心思都沉迷在这个电视剧里面。在过了三十分钟，我才想起来，可是，这时候，妈妈生气的走过来说：“你这个臭丫头，难道我以前跟你说的要保护环境，你都忘了吗?”我说：“我不是忘了，我只是顾着看电视。”妈妈说：“看电视重要一些，还是捡垃圾重要一些?”我说：“捡垃圾。”妈妈说：“那你快点捡呀。”

然后，我捡起一小堆垃圾，扔进垃圾桶，我不但向妈妈认错了，我也向顺峰山公园的每一个扫地阿姨认了错。因为，如果每个人都扔一块垃圾在地面，那么就会给清洁阿姨增加负担。如果你看见一块垃圾在地面，那你就弯弯腰，动动手，做一个保护环境的人，那么就会给清洁阿姨减少负担……

虽然这件事已经过去一年了，但是，这件事让我学会了，如果世界上都扔一块垃圾在地面，那么整个地球就会变成一片废区，所以我们每个人都要保护环境，保护地球，世界才会更美好!
