: Environmental protection : Ever since Eve ate the first apple, Adam has been troubled about : dealing with the trash-apple core. The apple core would eventually Ever since Eve ate the first apple, Adam has been bothered by the problem of human-made waste, the apple core. : get rotten in the soil, but a large amount of trash couldn't. Unlike apple cores that will eventually be bio-degraded into soil, many wastes will not. : More and more garbage was made with remarkable technological advances. : It is important to keep our living world from becoming polluted. : We should take the environmental problems seriously, shouldn't we? Although modern technologies have greatly improved the quality of our life, they don't come without a price. That is, all types of pollutions produced by those technologies are dumped into the Earth thereby creating enormous environmental problems. : There are three steps to perform environmental protection. : Reduction is the first one. To reduce the use of disposable tableware, : paper, etc. is one of the effective ways to reduce the emission of : carbon dioxide. The second step is to reuse. Reuse plastic bags as Three easy steps can be taken to fight the environmental threats we human are facing, i.e., reduction, reuse and recycle. For example, to stop using disposable dishes, bowls and utensils has proved to be an effective way to reduce CO2 emission due to that less energy is required to produce them. : trash bags or shopping bags instead. Bottles can be changed in many ways, : such as flowerpots, water bottles, and so on. The most important step : is to recycle. Aluminum cans, glasses and waste batteries are recycled : so that we can save more energy and prevent pollutions. To reduce the amount of wastes, other things that all of us can easily do include reducing the use of plastic shopping bags and tranforming the polyethylene containers of bottled water into flower vases, for example. Lastly, perhaps the most important step toward environmental protection is recycling. Aluminum cans, glass bottles and used batteries can all be recycled to save energy and reduce economic costs. : As the matter of fact, to know is one thing, to do is another. : If I were the Gaia, as the character in the move Avatar, I would kick out : all the human beings from the Earth. The reason is that they turned the : most beautiful planet into a mess. All practices mentioned above are upon : to everyone. However, it is for sure responsibility of mankind. As long : as we keep making efforts, we will lower damages to the only planet. To know is one thing, to do is another. The actions described earlier would be useless unless they become part of our daily practices. If I were Gaia, the character in the movie Avatar, I would simply expel all huamn beings from Earth as they have turned such a beautiful planet into an environmental disaster. All of us have to realize that environmental protection is an issue that requires the attention of everyone on Earth. Together we can make a difference. ※ 编辑: astar 来自: 111.248.16.175 (06/22 21:23)
