Nowadays, there are many environmental problems in the world. Air pollution is the most serious problem, and it results in haze which has a bad influence on our health. People cut down many trees, and it causes desertification that destroys the ecological balance. People throw rubbish everywhere.
We should take some measures to solve these problems. It is necessary for us to go to school by bus or on foot, because it can reduce the waste air. We should plant more trees.
Recycling is good for our planet because it make litter into something that we can use again. Environmental protection is closely related to our daily life. So it is everyone’s responsibility to protect our environment.
Thank you
