（First paragraph）

Have you ever thought about the environment around you? As a middle school student, I often walk through our school garden and see beautiful flowers growing there. But sometimes, I notice some students dropping their plastic bottles carelessly on the ground. This makes me realize that protecting our environment isn't just about planting trees or cleaning up. It's something we should do every day in our daily lives.

（Second paragraph）

Our environment is like a big family that supports us. The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat all come from nature. But many problems are happening now. For example, global warming makes the Earth warmer than before. Glaciers in the Arctic are melting quickly, and some animals can't survive. In our city, there are many cars that cause air pollution. Last year, our class did an experiment where we collected dust from the playground. We found 15 pieces of plastic in every cubic meter of air! These problems aren't just about adults. Every young person can help make a difference.

（Third paragraph）

How can we protect our environment? First, we should learn to save energy. At home, turning off lights when leaving a room can save electricity. In school, we can use the classroom fan only when everyone is hot. Second, reducing waste is important. I started carrying a reusable water bottle to school instead of buying plastic bottles every day. My parents also use cloth bags for shopping. Third, protecting plants and animals matters. Our school has a "Green Class" project where we plant vegetables in small boxes. We also wrote letters to local companies asking them to use less packaging.

（Fourth paragraph）

Another way to help is to spread awareness. Last month, our English club organized a "Clean-up Day" in the park near our school. We divided into groups to pick up litter and plant flowers. Over 50 students participated, and we collected nearly 20 bags of garbage. It was tiring but satisfying. We also made posters about recycling and put them on the school walls. When I see other students reading them, I feel happy. Maybe they will think about recycling too.

（Fifth paragraph）

In the future, I want to become a "Green Ambassador". I plan to study more about environmental protection in high school. Maybe I can start a school club that does environmental projects every month. I also want to share what I learned with my family. My parents already separate recyclable waste, but I want to teach them how to make less plastic use. Every small action counts. If every student in our city plants one tree, we can make our city greener. Let's work together to protect our environment for future generations.

（Sixth paragraph）

In conclusion, protecting the environment isn't a difficult task. It just needs our daily efforts. We can save energy, reduce waste, and care for plants and animals. By working together, we can make our school, city, and even our country cleaner and healthier. Remember, the Earth is our home, and we should take care of it like we take care of ourselves. Let's start today - turn off the tap while brushing teeth, use both sides of paper, and walk to school instead of taking cars. Small actions today can create a better tomorrow.
