How to protect the environment
As a student, we should try our best to protect the environment. First, we can go to school by bike or on foot.
And we can also ask our parents to ride bikes to work. Second, we can reuse water. For example, when we finish washing the clothes, we can use the water to clean the floor. Third, I think saving paper is necessary, so we can write on both sides of paper. At the same time, we can ask our parents to plant some trees behind our houses.
It's important for us to live a low­carbon (低碳的) life to protect the environment. The lower carbon is, the happier our life will be.。
