Since I was born, I’ve been in this big big world for nearly 14 years. The world is lovely and it has taught me a lot of new things. But there’s still something unsatisfactory. As a teenager, have you ever thought that we can also do something to make a better world? If I am asked: which aspect of the world I would like to change most? My answer would be the environment.
There’s no doubt that the environment nowadays is becoming worse. Different environmental problems are threatening our health. Air pollution, for example, is one of them. It is caused by vehicle exhaust, industrial waste gas, etc. It may cause lung diseases or respiratory ([ˈrɛspərəˌtɔri,]) diseases. There’re also pollutions like marine pollutions and plastic pollutions.
So if we want to have a better living condition we need to start to pay attention to the environmental protection. However, as the world is now developing in an unsustainable way, our earth is becoming ‘dirty’. As a citizen of the earth, I think it’s my responsibility to take some actions to make our environment as good as before.
I will start by changing some of my life habits. Every time when my family goes shopping, I’ll remember to take a bag with me in order not to use plastic bags. I’ll also try to choose some eco-friendly way of traveling instead of using motor vehicles. For example, riding bicycles instead of driving which can not only exercise myself but also avoid producing more pollution gas into the air. I will recycle everything I could find. After washing vegetables, the water can be used again to water plants. Empty tins or bottles can be made into creative decorations. Using both sides of every piece of paper could be a better choice, because each piece of paper is valuable. It takes a long time for trees to grow up.
Although, I can’t do much to protect our environment, I hope to encourage everybody I know to be aware of the fact that our environment does need more protection and care. Also I will persuade my friends and my family to do the same things as I will do.
That’s what I am going to do to change the world in a most possible way. With my efforts and persistence, I hope I can achieve my goal and I believe that one day my dream will com true.
