Save the Earth, save the home

With thousands of tons of greenhouse gas and the unlimited refrigerants floating wantonly in the air every day, the environment around us gets worse and worse. And the hole of the ozone layer above the South Pole increases day after day, which may lead to the globe warming. Also, the number of people in these areas who suffer from skin cancer is exceptionally high. However, the economy there is usually not very well developed, and people’s living standard is lower than other areas. And people there do not possess numerous cars, air conditioners or chemical plants. In the matter of fact, the pollution mainly comes from the industrial cities or developing countries where citizens enjoy the higher living standard and the fruitful results of industrial development without considering the environment and the whole ecosystem.

Like in Beijing, there are so many traffics stuck on the road. So, lots of toxic gas emissions from vehicles, which harm the plants as well as people. With the development of the technology, the city builds more and more factories, which also led to the air and water pollution. In some other parts of China, there are high chimneys emitting black smoke everywhere, which directly harm the environment and damage the ozone layer. Moreover, the citizens there still not aware the pollution problem and keep an abominable habit— burning stalks. This behavior is widely adapted by farmers. Because when the weather getting cold, to protect crops from becoming freeze to death, numerous farmers choose to burn stalks to produce heat and carbon dioxide. Therefore, a great amount of carbon dioxide floats into the atmosphere.

As far as I am concerned, it is our duty for we college students to accumulate scientific and cultural knowledge. Only when we build up a solid foundation, we would be able to protect our environment more scientifically and systematically. Moreover, we should do something to let more and more people aware the importance of environmental protection and to live a better live, healthier life.

For example, we can organize a group to publicize the importance of environmental protection and discuss some environmental issues. Also, as for some stubborn companies, we can report them to the governmental agencies and make mass media to report the terrible facts. We can also promote environmental protection in activities regularly held in the community to accentuate more citizens’ sense of it. At the same time, we can also call on people to decrease the use of disposable items and using public transportation more frequently.

All in all, we only have one earth. We should protect it. And I think if we all work together to protect the environment, we will live a better life.
