初中有关保护环境的英语作文【热门20篇】

We are always told that time is precious so that we shall cherish it. Even

though most of us know the necessity of making use of time, when we start our

plans, we find that time is limited. Where has the time gone, we always feel

confused about it. Actually, it is the lack of efficiency that makes people feel

time is not enough. It is in need of improving efficiency. Most students cant

focus their mind on study because they think of all kinds of temptations, such

as delicious food and computer games. If they can finish task quickly, then they

can do other things. It is the motivation to improve efficiency.

Water is the source of life.We cant live without water.However,with the

increasing population and industrial development,water pollution has become a

serious problem.Large amounts of wastewater go into rivers and seas directly

without being treated,which can be dangerous to people.Also lots of people pay

no attention to saving water in daily life,while in some place water is badly

needed.

Its time for us to take some measures to improve the situation.Factories

should treat the wastewater before letting it go into rivers.We can play a

positive role in saving water.For example we can reuse the water for wishing

rice to wash vegetables and then clean a mop.

保护我们身边的环境，是我们的责任。说保护环境，人人有责这样的话的人大有人在，可真正做到的有多少，微乎其微。

我们知道，保护环境先要从身边的点滴小事做起。放学回家后，看到家里整整齐齐，那一定是妈妈的功劳。第二天上学路上，道路一尘不染，那是清洁工的任务，到教室，看到教室焕然一新，那是同学们共同努力的成果。

这些都是不必要的，如果我们物品摆放的很整齐，垃圾丢到垃圾箱里，上了一天班的妈妈就不会这么劳累。如果我们在路上把零食袋放到指定的位置，就会为清洁工减轻一些负担。打扫教室就更不用说了，同学们都有保护环境的意识，捡起桌下的一张纸，就意味着干值日的同学可以早一点回家。

保护环境不仅是捡起身边的垃圾，让周围整洁，还要让耳朵清净。

公园里，每天的游客很多。早上，有些老人喜欢唱歌，在广场上跳舞，这些都少不了声音。再加上孩童玩耍、大人们聊天、商贩们吆喝的声音，似乎让原本安静的公园变得嘈杂。物理课也学到了关于声音的课时，我们也了解到了听力对我们的重要性，所以保护环境少不了让耳朵清净。

保护环境最根本的的还是保护空气。

工厂排放污水、释放有毒物质都会影响环境，解决空气污染是当前的任务。我们山东的空气质量一直是良，怎样才能改善呢？据统计，济南某日空气质量为严重污染，PM2.5、PM10等有害气体增加，使市民的身体健康遭到严重危害。

光说不练假把式，让美好的光环从我们身边扩散。

When I go to school, my teachers teach me a lot of knowledge and show me

the way to explore the world. I admire my teachers so much, so I have made up my

mind to be a teacher when I grow up. It is always my dream. I must work hard to

realize my dream. From now on, I need to make the plan.

The campus is like the flowers, the fragrance of the intoxicating, the smell of love. The schoolyard is like rain dew, nourish us, cultivate us; The campus is like a dream, that kind of beautiful, that kind of sweet. I love this garden campus.

"Beautify campus, green campus". Our campus has become green and beautiful. Flowers, small trees, patches of grass, flowerbeds, our campus is full of life and fresh.

"The air is fresh, clean and tidy environment, buildings, surrounded by green trees", who dont want to in such a clean, sanitary, healthy growth of the beautiful campus learning? But for various reasons, our campus environment is being undermined by the bad behavior of some students. Nowadays, in our beautiful campus, there are some uncivilized phenomena, some students randomly throw in the peel of paper, plastic bottles, melon seed shells and so on. Whenever naughty wind these waste, running here and there, tinkling like a child, helpless, we can only watch them on campus "dance", and even some classmates in the scribble on the white wall and the desk carved, and disorderly spit phlegm, and so on. All this, cannot match with our beautiful campus. See these phenomena, how would you feel? Does studying here make everyone happy?

In order to let us have the beautiful campus of green trees, clean environment and grass, please act quickly! Use your own hands to protect the beauty of the campus environment. Through radio, blackboard, speech competition, knowledge competition, the development theme class meeting, publicity of the importance of protecting our campus environment, the necessity, form "real small is my home, beautiful depends on everybody" good atmosphere; Start everyone from yourself and start with the little things around you. As the saying goes, "do not be small but do not be evil." Get into the habit of not littering, spitting, not scribbling, trampling on the lawn, moving, bending, and so on. Dear students, Let us join hands and work together to create a beautiful and tidy learning environment for ourselves. Isnt that bad?

I am convinced that the campus is beautiful, friendly, is a place where we learn to grow, we love the campus, love every inch of the campus, lets work together to protect the environment of the campus!

I am Alice. I am a student of No.1 Middle School. I study in Class Two

Grade Seven.

There is a map of our school on the wall. The playground is in the middle

of the school. On the left of the playground, there is a library. I like reading

very much, so I often read books in the library. There is a teaching building

behind the library. We study in that building. My classroom is on the second

floor in that building. The teachers offices are in that building, too. Where

is the sport hall? Oh, its on the right of the teaching building. I have P.E

class in the sport hall. The canteen is in front of the sport hall. We have

lunch and dinner in the canteen. In the school, I feel very happy!

This is my school. Its a big and nice place. I like my school very much.

What about your school?

Environmental protection is every one of us to do, make the responsibility

of each of us, once you live in the earth, you have to protect the environment,

because we want for our children and grandchildren, give them a good living

environment, and not to harm the environment and harm to our children and

grandchildren.

Its our duty to protect the environment, and some people said: this is an

important task, we are a little, it should give the big man to do, we have to do

is not to undermine. In the face of this, many people agree, and I object. In

fact, environmental protection is more than a great thing, or do we all the

citizens of these things, and they will go to the governance, we control our

things, mind your own affairs, because environmental protection from a small

one.

Protecting the environment is a small thing, not throwing away a piece of

garbage, cutting down a tree, not using disposable items... Maybe, if you are

qualified, recycle a piece of garbage, plant a tree, and use one item again...

Its all about protecting the environment, its so simple, you dont have to do

it harder, its just that simple.

Protecting your environment is protecting yourself and your children, and

you dont want to be the end of the world in 2017.

环境问题是二十一世纪要面临的一个重大的问题，保护环境是每个小学生都应尽的责任。

妈妈告诉我们，以前的永安是一个鸟语花香的地方。明朗的天空，晶莹透亮，好像一池清澈明亮的湖水，小河“哗哗哗”的向前流淌着，每一个小小的漩涡都是它笑出来的甜甜的小酒窝。小河里一群群鱼儿，欢快地游到水面上来，就好像一个个美丽的公主，拖着长长的纱裙在快乐地舞蹈。春天来了，碧绿的草地上，小草亲密地挤在一起，手拉着手，肩挨着肩，好像好朋友在讲悄悄话。农田里，一棵棵白菜整齐地排列着，就像等待检阅的士兵一样。沉甸甸的稻穗把稻秆都压弯了腰，好像在感谢大地的养育之恩。离农田不远的果园里，一棵棵桃树上结满了桃子；有的谦虚地低着头；有的神气地挺着胸；有的顽皮地躲在桃叶后面，好像在和同伴们玩捉迷藏呢！柑橘也渐渐成熟了，七八个聚在一起好像在开会，真有趣！

如今，我们的家园变了样：蔚蓝的天空变得灰黑了，那是因为工厂排放废气、噪音，这不仅影响了人们的休息，还影响了孩子们的学习。碧绿而又清澈见底的河水不见了，取而代之的是浑浊不清的脏水，原本成群的鱼虾也渐渐消失了，枯黄的草地，就像一个个饿得面黄肌瘦的“孩子”，树木被砍光了，鸟儿无家可归，成了一个个名副其实的“流浪儿”。果园里结出的果子又苦又涩，真难吃！

人类的愚昧无知导致山体滑坡、泥石流、地震、火灾、洪水等等自然灾害接二连三的发生，地球开始报复人类了……同学们，让我们赶快行动起来拯救地球吧！让我们从保护身边的一草一木开始做起，从保护一花一草开始做起，从节约一滴水、一度电开始做起，拯救地球，就是拯救我们自己呀！

今天清晨我一起床，从屋里往外看，看见屋外昏黄一片，远处的建筑物若隐若现的。我问爸爸“今天是什么天气啊？”爸爸说“今天是沙尘天。”我奇怪的问：“什么是沙尘天啊？”爸爸说：“地上的尘土飞上天就是沙尘天气。”爸爸从网上查了一下我国有十三个省都受到沙尘的影响，有些地区的人们要带着防沙面罩才能出行。我又问爸爸“他们是怎样形成的呢？”爸爸说：“都是人类乱砍树木森林，植被被破坏，植被草地被沙化，春天风大，地表的沙尘被吹上了天，就形成了沙尘天气。”

我想起来语文第七课《一个小村庄的故事》这个故事告诫我们要爱护树木，保护大自然的生态平衡，否则就会受到大自然的惩罚。我想我们的城市是不是也像故事里的那样把庄园给冲毁了呢。

老师说过一棵大树每天可以吸收大量的二氧化碳和其他的有害气体，还能抵御风沙，保护环境要从自我做起。我想：我要变成一棵树，要快快长大为人们提供氧气，抵御沙尘，假如我是一片大大的天空，我就会下很大很大的雨雪，给地球“降尘”。

总而言之，保护环境，要有实际行动，从我们自己做起，要用我们的双手保护我们这个美丽而又脆弱的地球。

二小六年级张浩博

本校全体师生们：

你们好！

现在大街上都是随处可见的垃圾。有的被风吹得满天都是，有的被风吹到了河中，还有的吹到了居民家的院子……有一些人不仅乱扔垃圾，还随意破坏大自然的花草树木，使它们不能再生，丢掉生命。这些现象已经严重毁掉了我们的生活环境，因此，我在此发起倡议：

一、不在大街上丢垃圾。丢垃圾这样不仅破坏了大街上的环境，还给年纪大的老爷爷和老奶奶带来了麻烦，影响出行。

二、野餐时要带走自己带来的垃圾，不能随意被五颜六色的垃圾盖住了。既污染环境，还破坏了绿草以及植物生长的土质。

三、不往河中排放废水（污水）。这样既破坏了水质，还让水中的鱼儿们死亡，更给常年住在河边的居民带来了非常大的不便。

四、节约用水。大家都知道水是生命之源，由于人们浪费水资源，有一些地方已经干旱。那里的人们因缺水而死亡。

五、不用一次性东西。有些人经常点外卖，造成一次性筷子的大量使用，这使大自然的树木不断减少。

六、不把垃圾扔进河里。有一些人经常把垃圾扔进水里，这一些垃圾随着水流漂进海洋变成了“海洋垃圾”，出海的渔船发动机经常失灵。

在这我倡议大家保护环境，不破坏花草树木，垃圾要进行分类。在各个街道多安装垃圾桶，让我们行动起来，一起保护我们的家园吧！

No matter the day is how to spend endless， the sun always rises and falls，

flowers always bloom and wither， around heavy traffic is always fleeting， stand

at the time of the tail， we kept after the mist as ignorant of the future.

Too many people always sigh the cruelty of time and the helpless of growing

up。 In fact， growth is really a caterpillar into a butterfly process， always

undergo a metamorphosis of pain， you can better meet the chocolate as unknown

world。 All that let go or no one saw tears in a few years back， you can get

unexpected! The road of the future， whether rugged or smooth， requires you to go

and taste it alone.

Eileen Chang wrote an article about "road"， referring to the way of growth。

This road is a road that everyone must take。 Those who pass by advise the people

who are going this way not to choose the road， because it is so rough and long

that it is refuted： "since you can walk this way， how can I not go out?"。" Thus，

one after another people go through this road full of hardships， perhaps this is

the true meaning of growth。 Knowing that he might fall into it， he obstinately

persisted in his choice.

I think that the child will never grow up Peter Pam， who said he had no

regrets can not grow， we are always sad to miss the past endlessly all say

"dont grow up， never grow up， if you really can not grow up， you really dont

care? Every time there is a time of happiness。 In any case， we will grow up as

time goes by from the palm of the palm.

Growing up is like a mysterious fruit。 Some people resist it hysterically，

and some people cant wait to taste it。 But only when we grow up can we get more

and better world.

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.

[保护环境的英语作文4篇

First of all, let me tell you a true event. That is my grandpa with me by boat from yichang to three gorges occurs when one thing.

We all got up that morning, the people on board, is preparing to play water to wash shu. But the faucet for half a day on the boat were down only a few drops of water, one asked, originally is the boat ran out of water! So, we only have stood in long lines, slowly, etc. Although I looked at the ship, the ship under a stream of water, but no one would like to use it. Because the water is so dirty, so HunHuang, who dare to use? Line only slowly, slowly, etc!

Although in the high-speed development of science and technology nowadays, but the impact on our environment. Reduced river pollution, air pollution, the trees, the increasing of the desert... All this is all thanks to the human! Countries while in value, although the world in value, environmental protection, what and how much these things figure up attention? In my opinion, is rare. Although countries in so to speak, but whats the use of words and not of deeds? Did just a few, too! Dont grab from main reason! You see, the Yellow River water is not still contaminated? So the factory does not still pollute the atmosphere? Should grasp, starts from the quality of people, quality grab, but the country and the world to do so? No! Just like to do even when you are done. In the polluted environment is not so?

Animals are extinct, flash floods in explosion, dust storms still exist... It fully shows the environmental pollution! Countries will only go to disaster relief, instead of simply grabbed, will only go to disaster relief, whats the use? Dont all kinds of disaster is still in? We should like lu xun. He had become a is in order to save the Chinese, and he found that it will not solve the fundamental, so he became a writer, to save the people of the spirit. Because this is the fundamental! So, we as the master of the 21st century, you should understand, what is the root of the damage to the environment, from the point to solve it. Work hard -- the 21st century we!

首先，我先给大家讲一个真实的事件。那是我随我的外公从宜昌坐船前往三峡时发生的一件事。

那天早晨，船上的人都起来了，正准备打水洗淑。可是船上的水龙头半天也只下来几滴水，一询问，原来是船上的水用完了!所以，大家只有排着长长的队伍，慢慢的等。我望着船下，船下虽然有着流不尽的江水，但却没有一个人愿意来使用它。因为江水太脏了，是那么的浑黄，又有谁敢去使用呢?只有慢慢的排队，慢慢的等!

如今科技虽然在高速发展，但这影响到了我们的环境。河流污染，大气污染，树木的减少，沙漠的增多……这一切的一切都是拜人类所赐!国家虽然在重视，世界虽然在重视，什么环境保护日，这些事又有多少人影起了注意呢?在我看来，是极少的。国家虽然在这么说，可是光说不做又有什么用呢?做了也只是少数罢了!根本没有从主要原因抓起!你看，黄河的水不是还在被污染吗?工厂不照样还在污染大气吗?抓，就应该从小抓起，从人们的素质，品质抓起，可是国家乃至世界这么做了吗?没有!即使做了也只是做样子罢了。环境不是照样还在被污染吗?

动物还在灭绝，山洪还在爆发，沙尘暴照样存在……这都充分说明了环境还在污染!国家只会去赈灾，而不去根本抓起，只会去赈灾，这又有什么用呢?各种灾难不还是照样在发生吗?我们应该像鲁迅一样。他当初从医是为了拯救中国人，而他发现，这解决不了根本，所以，他当了作家，去拯救人们的精神。因为这就是根本!所以，我们作为21世纪的小主人，就应该明白，什么是破坏环境的根本，从要点去解决它。努力吧――21世纪的我们!

藏羚羊飞奔在寒冷的雪山，猎鹰飞过那碧绿的天空，爬山虎一点点的攀上墙角。鸟儿清脆的鸣叫，小溪潺潺的流动，风轻轻掠过美丽的花朵，人们伸开双臂，呼吸着享受着大自然的美妙与奇幻……“啊”的一声一切美好的事物都消失了，取而代之的是融化的冰川，没有家园的动物，条条黑色的河道，被污染的的空气，植物渐渐的枯萎，森林夷为平地……

在现今，由于人们无穷无尽地开采资源，大自然遭到了严重的破坏。为了拯救奄奄一息的地球，世界各地都纷纷号召人们保护环境、珍惜资源。

当你在姹紫嫣红的花丛里时，当你在缓缓流淌向远方的河流边时，当你站在碧绿无垠的草原上，微风亲吻着你的脸颊，耳畔回荡起婉转的鸟叫声，人往往是在失去后才懂得珍惜，懂得美好。

树木是地球的肺，自然是地球的面貌。只是今天有人突然大梦初醒，发现不管是水资源流失还是冰川融化都威胁到了人类的生存，但他们自私自利，依然无止境浪费。但他们号召他人时，美名其曰：“保护地球”。

保护环境已经不是一个新的话题了，我们应该从小事做起，从自己做起，保护地球人人有责。拒绝使用一次性筷子，节约用水节约用电，以及不乱扔垃圾，这都是最基本的。可又有几个人是真正在乎保护环境的融化的冰川上，可怜的北极熊在漂泊，污染的水里，鱼儿在痛苦的呻吟，砍倒的树木下有多少动物的家。

也许多年后，城市会被一场大水给淹没世界上最后的一个人也会沉寂在黑暗的水中，也许多年后世界会是一片沙漠，最后一滴水会是最后一个人类的泪水，也许多年后人类依旧繁华，但我想他们应该忘记了一个名为地球的星球。

保护环境不是自私自利，不是关爱人类自己，而是一场战争，一场报答养育我们的地球母亲的战争。

保护环境，人人有责。

We talked about the advantages and disadvantages of internet shopping these

days. Some students think its very convenient for us to go shopping on the

internet. The shops on Internet, for example taobao.com, 360buy.com are open for

almost 24 hours a day, so we can buy something we want at any time if we like.

Whats more, we neednt to wait in a queue.

However, some students disagreed with them. We cant see the things while

we are shopping. So we are not sure whether they are good or not Besides, we

cant enjoy the happiness of shopping with our friends.

Communication is common and important in our daily life. All of us live

with others in the society and no one can live cut off from it. Everyday, we

must talk to others to give and get information, but how can we communicate with

others? Some people claim that they don’t know what to say and how to speak to

others, strangers especially. I think first you should find a topic that both of

you are interested in. Then, pay attention to your manners, speed, pitch,

expressions and your body language. You should make others feel comfortable, so

that they are willing to talk to you. Last but not the least, being a good

listener. Listening to others shows your respect to them. Only when they heard,

they want to talk. So do you. Before you talk, listening to others first.

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

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。

When i was in high school, I had to study all the time and hardly had spare

time to do what i wanted to.Besides, I had to focus on my textbooks and doing

exercise again and again. Therefore, I had little time to read magazines and

novels and watch TV. what was worse, I couldnt play with my friends a lot, which

I couldnt stand the most. In a word, all i did in high shool should be

considered for the College Entrance Examination.

However, my college life is totally different from the life in high

school.I can arrange my time freely. I spend most of my time reading in the

library, where I can open my eyes and broaden my mind.In my free time, I also

join some clubs,where i can make a lot of friends of different majors. My

teachers in college are so kind and knowledgeable that they not only teach us

knowledge but also how to be a person and how to get on with others. In

addition, there are more opportunities for me to improve myself.

I believe college life is an important stage in my life. In college, i can

learn how to learn by myself, how to get on with others, how to live

independently.College provides me with a stage where i can show myself and be

myself.

大家新年好！

现在已经是一个科技化的时代了，克隆、复印等的技术都是我们耳熟闻详的。可是，就在同时，我们赖以生存的家园——地球却受到了巨大的破坏。

大家一定晓得石洋溪吧！它又脏又臭，路人一闻就会一阵眩晕。但是，谁又会想到，它以前竟然清澈见底，碧绿的湖面荡漾着微波，能看见溪底五彩缤纷的鹅卵石，可是现在却……唉；另外，一块工地上要建龙山小区，嫌几棵大树碍事儿，就一斧子砍下去，“啪”，刹那间，大树被劈成了两半。

这一幕幕都令人心如刀绞。请大家想一想，我们生活所需要的氧气是无穷无尽的吗？不是！是植物制造出来的。如果花草树木都被毁灭完了，那么我们难道还有生存的希望吗？只可以等待死神来抚摸你的头，送你上西天。到了那个时候，一切都已经来不及了。霎时间，一个原本生机勃勃的地球就会变得死气沉沉。而现在呢？南极上空已经出现了臭氧层空洞，二氧化碳增多使得全球升温这个消息无人不知，无人不晓……这几个惊天动地的消息，犹如利剑一般深深的刺痛了我的心灵，它震撼了我。总而言之，保护环境，人人有责。只要我们去种树、花、草，世界也将会变得美丽。

植树种花草，并非千斤之重，只不过是举手之劳罢了。而且，它既可以美化环境，也可以有益身心，这一举一动，就可以关系到全世界人民的生存，难道我们连这一点都做不到？

让我们一起行动起来吧？

俞欣欣

年月日

亲爱的朋友们：

地球，这是一个蓝色的星体，它是六十亿人口的家园，它有青山、有绿水、有花朵、有芳草，美丽无比。我们都很感谢这个蓝色星球给了我们如此美丽的家园。

可是，许多人不爱护它，它被折磨得昏天地暗。地球已经开始恶化，泥石流、水灾、旱灾随之而来；空气、水全是浑浊的。也许有一天，我们再也看不到花儿和芳草；也许有一天，我们再也看不到满地的阳光。

为此，我号召全人类救救地球，你们愿意和我一起，做到以下几点吗？

1、告诉其他人保护环境、保护地球，做“小小宣传员”。

2、多植树、养花。

3、不乱丢垃圾。

4、不用一次性木筷、泡沫饭盒以及塑料袋，远离白色污染。

5、节约用水，共同保护水资源。

6、生活中提倡购买绿色食品。

环境，是所有人都依赖的东西，环境受到破坏，我们的生活也会受到影响。让我们齐心协力，共同保护全人类赖以生存的环境。

Marine biological environment is a complex system including sea water, sea

water, soluble matter and suspended matter, seabed sediments and marine

organisms. The rich biological resources, mineral resources, chemical resources

and power resources in the sea are indispensable human resources treasure

houses, which are closely related to the survival and development of

mankind.

At present, the main objective of marine conservation is to protect marine

biological resources so that they can not be exhausted for sustainable use by

mankind. In particular, priority should be given to the conservation of marine

animals that are valuable and endangered. According to the UN investigation, due

to overfishing, mangrove accidental killing of non target to allow the killing

of marine organisms, the coastal engineering construction, deforestation,

pollution of the marine environment in general, at least 25 of the worlds most

valuable fisheries resources consumed, whales, sea turtles, manatees and many

other marine animal faces the danger of extinction. It is expected that with the

expansion of marine development, it is possible to cause more damage to marine

biological resources.

Marine protection task should first stop on the marine biological resources

excessive use, secondly to protect the marine biological habitat or habitat,

especially their migration, spawning, feeding, avoid Huahai coastline, beaches,

estuaries, coral reefs, to prevent heavy metals, pesticides, oil, organic

produce and eutrophication. Nutrients such as marine pollution. Maintain the

ability of regeneration of marine biological resources and the natural

purification ability of the sea water, maintain the marine ecological balance,

and ensure the sustainable development and utilization of the marine.
