The greener, the better
22 April marks Earth Day, reminding us to protect our planet.

Nowadays, our earth faces 
serious problems. Factories pour waste water into rivers, and cars produce much harmful gas. 
Rubbish is everywhere, making our living space dirty.
        To solve these problems, we should take action. First, we can go to school by bike or on foot 
instead of taking cars. Second, we need to save water and paper in our daily life. Third, we should 
plant more trees to make the air fresh.

I believe the greener we live, the better our earth will be.
