如何保护树木的英语作文【最新20篇】

Last week, I visited the geological museum with my best friend, Liu Bing.

It was my first time to go there. The moment we arrived there, we found that the

building was grand. When we walked into it, there was a big hall in front of us.

And then there were several rooms to show different kinds objects. There was a

room for collecting scripts and paintings. There was another room to store

clothes and shoes in the old times. The next room was for collecting the daily

necessities in the old days. In a word, all the things in it had a long history.

I learnt some knowledge from it.

With the development of our society， energy in the world bees more and more

limited， so it is quite important for us to save energy and to protect our

environment。 As a student， there are a lot of methods we can do to save energy

at home。 For example， first， we can turn off the light as well as other

appliances when we are not using them。 Second， recycle the waste water， paper

and other waste so that we can reuse them。 Whats more， it is suggested to use

public transportation more instead of private cars.

Above all， everyone can make a great contribution to our environment。 I

hope I can learn more to develop new and clear energy， like energy from the wind

and solar.

Animals are our good friends. People should be friendly to them. But now, many people in China as well as in the world kill animals in order to get money. Its well known that there are many kinds of rare animals in China, such as pandas, golden monkeys and so on. Some people catch or kill them. They use their furs and skins to make clothes and shoes or eat their meat. As a result, a lot of rare animals have disappeared.

What a pity!

At present, our government have made some plans to punish these people. Recently, some nature parks have been built. Lots of money collected for protecting them. For example, some students put on perfom ances or have other kinds of activities to collect money for rare animals.

Its our duty to protect wild animals. As nature is like a big family, man and animals must live together in it peacefully. We must keep the balance of nature. If we do like this, our world will become better and better.

动物是人类的好朋友，人们应该善待它们，但现在，中国和世界上的许多人为赚钱而捕杀动物。众所周知，中国有许多珍稀动物，如熊猫、金丝猴等。一些人捕杀它们是为了用它们的皮毛制衣制鞋，或是为了食用它们的肉。

结果大量的珍稀动物死亡了，真可惜呀!

目前，我国政府已制定出有关严惩不法分子的法律;近来又建起了一些自然公园;人们：也捐款来支持保护动物的活动，如，有些学生通过义演或用其它方式为保护珍稀动物积极筹款。

我们有义务保护野生动物，因为自然就像一个大家庭，人类和动物必须和平共处：我们必须保持生态平稳。

如果人类能这么做，这个世界就会越来越好。

同学们，老师们：

大家好！相信大家都知道：随着人类生活的进步，人类的需求不断增加，为了自己的利益，不断地向地球母亲索取，而没有满足的时候，原本漂亮温柔的地球母亲己变得千疮百孔，伤痕累累。母亲的绿裙子也变灰暗苍茫了。

树，对人类做出的贡献很大，建房，做家俱，造纸————-等等，曾经有一位外国学者对树木五十年的价值进行了估算，大约是十九万六千美元，其次，树木还可以净化空气，吸收二氧化碳，释放氧气。但这些还不足以让个别人停止乱砍乱伐树木。日常生活中随处可见大大小小的纸片、一次性筷子、等，这些都极大地浪费了我们的森林资源，如果再这么下去会怎么样呢，没有树木，没有森林，就会有洪水肆虐，水土流失，土地沙化，小鸟无家可归————，多么可怕的结果。

现在，人们也逐渐意识到了树木对保护环境的重要性，纷纷用自己的行动来保护树木，保护环境。我国政府每年的将每年的三月十二日定为植树节，动员全民参与植树，绿化祖国，绿化我们生存环境，绿化我们的家园，世界各国也都有自己的植树节，据联合国统计，全世界有五十多个国家制定了植树节。

我们每个人都不希望树木从我们的身边消失。那么就从今天开始，从现在开始扩大我们的“保护绿色生命的绿洲”保护我们的一草一木，加入到植树造林的行动中来，让小鸟快乐地成长，让我们的家园成为永远的绿洲，让地球妈妈重新容颜焕发，恢复活力和生机。

Now, "environmental protection" has become a global focus. But to truly protect the environment, we must start from ourselves and start with the small things around us.

One day, I went to play in the small river in the park. A little boy wanted to throw a fresh bottle into the river. I looked at it and said, "no matter what, Im going to play. If I take care of him, I wont be able to play." But at this time, one is old man on a fishing trip saw the little boys behavior quickly held out his hand to stop a small boy, and said to the boy: "child, dont throw rubbish into the river." The little boy listened and put down the bottle and said to the old man, "whats the big deal? Besides, this is a bottle, not a garbage." The old man listened and was not angry. Smiled and said to the boy, "son, you dont understand. You dont see it as a bottle, but it will also be like other garbage pollution water. We cant drink clean water. Moreover, the trash can is over there, a few steps away." The little boy was speechless to the old man. He said "thank you" to the old man and ran to the trash can.

I listened to that thought, "thats right. When we want to throw fruit peel, tend to throw the rubbish casually into the trash can outside, and ignored. In fact, as long as you stretch out his hand, will be thrown into the trash can. Sometimes, you can throw some wrapping paper with a, then a walk it. Later, you said cant find the trash can. In fact, trash can in a few steps away." These little things can reflect a persons moral character and whether he loves the environment around him.

Protect the environment. Its all about us. Everyone has to do their part. This will make our home more colorful!

On National Day last year,mom and I saw a dog on the roadside.It was thin and poor.It was looking at us for help.It was shaking in the wind.This made me heartached.I asked my mother if I could take it home?My mother said yes.We went home with the dog.We cleaned his body and fur.From then,it has been our family members.Sometimes I got angry at him,but he was running around me to jump.When my parents got home from work,he will go downstairs or stand in the doorway looking at them and meet them.He will use eyes to communicate with us.In the morning,my little alarm clock rang,he would chop my bedside,he didnt stop until I woke up.So I was never late.

很多地区，因为缺少树木而发生灾难。现在，有不少人在保护树木，而也有不少人还是在森林里乱砍乱伐，

在一个森林里，大树高高地耸立着，鸟儿在枝头上歌唱，小松鼠在树枝间跳来跳去，小兔子在树下吃草，小鸭子在鸭妈妈的带领下学习走路，小袋鼠正在妈妈的袋子里甜甜的睡着……森林里一片和谐的景象。

突然，有一个木头脑袋的人开始砍起了参天大树，他还在抽着烟，“咚咚咚，咚咚咚。”鸟儿停止了歌唱，小松鼠也不玩了，躲在一棵大树下。小兔子逃回了窝里。小鸭子也不学走路了，他们跟着鸭妈妈一起藏到了草丛里。小袋鼠也被吵醒了，它在妈妈的口袋里不安的东张西望，因为它也感觉到了，有人在破坏自己的家园。

一只啄木鸟实在忍不住了，它愤怒地飞上了那个人的肩膀，想：“这段木头里一定有虫，要不然，他怎么会在森林里乱砍乱伐，破坏我们的家园。他竟然还抽烟，破坏我们这里清新的空气，这段木头里的虫，是破坏大自然，乱砍树的思想，是自私虫，贪虫，糊涂虫。我一定要找出这条虫子，让这个人停止它的行动。”

在我们的生活中，也有许多人和这个木头脑袋的人一样，他们的脑袋里有虫子，明知道不应该乱砍树，随意破坏生态环境，却还是为了自己的利益，把森林里的一棵又一棵的大树全部砍光，让动物们没出安家。虽然他们把砍下了的树全部卖了，挣了很多钱，，但是他们这样乱砍树木，会造成生态灾难，最后还是害了自己。人们乱砍树的行为，还造成了水土流失，洪水泛滥的灾难。我们曲舟的泥石流灾难，其中之一的原因也是因为人们乱砍树，泥土没有了树木的固定，就都在下雨天冲了下来，形成了泥石流。

我们应该保护生态环境，善待河水，善待空气，善待动物，善待森林。保护树木，人人有责。

What kind of environment should be? Ought to be beautiful, but also should

be to let people feast for the eyes, but now all of you take a look at the

environment, beautiful? Let people feast for the eyes? The answer is no.

So what should we do? Today, Ill give you some advice to protect the

environment, the content is as follows:

We live earth is deteriorating rapidly, did we have to pay attention to

their own living environment cause harm to nature, you must not throw sundry,

especially those serious pollution of garbage, waste batteries, for example,

because the section waste batteries contain heavy metals, if flow to clean the

water, it is very much pollution, then try to save trees made items such as

wild animals, the drop in sales no longer killing of wild animals.

Our forest is called oxygen plant, so to take good care of flowers and

plants, not to destroy the city greening, and actively participate in. But also

to cut down trees less, dont waste wood items, because waste these things is to

destroy the forest, so be used sparingly, to protect the forests of less and

less.

Use energy saving lamps to replace the ordinary light bulb, although some

expensive but can use less electricity. I appeal to you: in our daily actions to

protect earths environment, let our children and grandchildren live in a

beautiful environment!

Animals are our humans good friends, ask you to protect them! Dont beat them with stones, sticks, they are flesh and blood hurts, will cry, their mom and dad will love dearly. Small animals made great contribution to the earths ecological balance for us, therefore, we hereby issue the following to the citys children initiative:

从小，我就是和小狗一起长大的，因为狗是人类最忠诚的朋友。我和奶奶在一起时常常看见奶奶无缘无故的踢小狗，每当这时，我都会对奶奶大吼大叫：“奶奶你怎么能踢小狗呢?”可奶奶又怎么能听得进去呢?看着这只可怜兮兮的小狗，我不禁鼻子一酸：因为我们是人类就能在地球是为所欲为了吗?难道小狗就没有尊严吗?对那些自以为是的人类，我无可奉告!动物是人类最忠诚的朋友啊!

只能够到蛇为什么会咬人吗?知道猫为什么会抓人吗?不是因为这是他们的本质，而是因为它们怕人类，怕那些残忍的恶魔!不要再欺负弱小了，让我们一起保护动物吧!

My Views on Environmetal Protection

Nowadays, the world we live in is becoming more and more intolerable because of environmental destruction. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles. Smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside. Recently,haze weather has become a usual phenomenon here in large part of China. People are forced to wear the mask to avoid breathing poisonous air. Some people think it is impossible to solve the problem,however,from my opinion,if we find out the reason and take effective measures the environment can be better.

If we trace the cause for haze weather,the main points are as follows,first,our countrys air quality standards are rather lax and evaluation factors are limited,so you will see that current air appraisal system has defects. Second,some people just go for economic interests instead of turning out products according to relevant law and regulations. They tend to use obsolete equipment in which they are more likely to emit a great deal of wasted air. Third,across our society,the awareness of protecting the environment has not built up so that people havent formed a habit of using green product and saving energy as much as possible. If we dont take action to show respect to the environment, we will have to face an increasingly awful situation.

Therefore, effective measures should be taken and laws passed to conserve the environment. In my opinion, to protect the environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, people should be educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the policy of population into practice, because more people mean more pollution. Finally,laws concerning environmental protection should be put into effect and enforce strictly just as our government has been doing. To sum up,if we work together to take out such measures,our environment will get better and better and haze weather will vanish completely.

wounds of this type deplete a plants energy resources and provide entry points for insects, or for diseases such as oak wilt.

The worst damage, however, often remains hidden underground. Roots are one of the most vital parts of a tree. They are responsible for nutrient and water uptake, store energy, and anchor the plant. Because they are so important, it is critical that you protect roots that lie in the path of construction.

Trees are never the same shape below ground as they are above, so it is difficult to predict the length or location of their roots. Typically, however, approximately 90-95 percent of a trees root system is in the top three feet of soil, and more than half is in the top one foot. The part of this root system in which construction damage should be avoided is called the Protected Root Zone (PRZ).

We need to protect small animals, especially chickens this kind of small animals, because chickens can call in the morning we wake up, can have another round of eggs, chicken can also provide for us.

On one occasion, my mother and I serving market, hear an old woman Shouting: "chicken, chicken fat and tender today!" Mother said: "today, we buy a chicken home, stew to drink." I said: "ok." But wanted to think: if we ate chicken, then you cant eat eggs, he said to mother: "no, eat the chicken, there is no egg." "The silly child, you fuck what blind heart!" Mother threw themselves to pull me to the other side of the chicken. Granny is kill chicken chicken, she plucked chickens neck hair, the knife in chicken neck hard a few strokes. Chicken blood spray to the surrounding, struggled for a few times and he died. "So cruel, I dont want to eat chicken!" My mother to protest loudly. "Well, dont buy, we will go to buy some vegetables." Maybe my mother also feel cruel, agreed.

If our life does not have the animal, the world will become very lonely. , we need to protect animals from oneself: eat less meat, less wear leather sweater; See someone humiliate animal, to bravely to come forward to persuade them.

To protect animals, everyone duty!

我们要保护小动物，特别是小鸡这类弱小的动物，因为小鸡早晨可以叫我们起床，可以生一个又一个圆圆的的鸡蛋，还可以提供鸡肉给我们吃。

有一次，我和妈妈上菜市场，听见一位老奶奶在喊：“卖鸡了，今天的鸡又肥又嫩!”妈妈说：“今天，我们买一只鸡回家，炖汤喝。”我说：“好吧。”可又想了想：如果我们吃了鸡，那么就吃不到鸡蛋了，就对妈妈说：“不行，吃了鸡就没有鸡蛋吃了。”“傻孩子，你瞎操什么心啊!”妈妈不由分说地把我拉到卖鸡的那边。卖鸡的老奶奶正在杀鸡，只见她拔下鸡脖子上的毛，拿刀用力地在鸡脖子上划了几下。血喷向了四周，鸡挣扎了几下就死了。“太残忍了，我不要吃鸡!”我向妈妈大声的抗议。“好吧，不买了，我们就去买点蔬菜吧。”也许妈妈也觉得残忍，就同意了。

假如我们的生活中没有了动物，世界就会变得很孤独。我们要保护动物，从自身做起：少吃肉类食品，少穿皮衣毛衣;看见别人欺负动物，要勇敢地站出来劝说他们。

保护动物，人人有责!

[英语作文：保护学校环境

With the improvement of our living standard, more and more people can afford a car. As a result, our roads are more often than not crammed with cars. However, with more and more waste gas being discharged by the cars, the problem of air pollution becomes even more serious. So nowadays we advocate to lead a low-carbon life.

随着人们生活水平的提高，越来越多的人能买得起一辆车。作为一个结果，我们的道路上挤满了车。然而，随着越来越多的汽车废气排放，空气污染问题变得更加严重。所以现在我们提倡低碳生活。

My suggestion is we should ride bikes more often instead of driving cars.By riding a bike, we can not only exercise our body but also protect our environment. Why not have a try, my dear friends?

我的建议是我们应该更经常骑自行车而不是汽车。骑一辆自行车，我们不仅能锻炼身体，也能保护我们的环境。为什么不试一试，我亲爱的朋友?

As time goes by, man is making the earth sick. People cut down too many trees and leave rubbish everywhere. Factories let out their waste without doing anything to it . This has caused some serious problems. Such as the land is sandy, the river is dirty, the air is less clean, even the temperature of the earth is rising. What should we do to save the earth ? My suggestion is that we should plant more trees, put rubbish into dusbins and stop factories (from)pouring waste directly into the air or rivers. In all, we have only one earth, we should do our best to protect it, or we will regret.

Do you know? Time unknowingly. Have you found? Our home into a another look: the bottom of the river became a filth, dirty dust filled the air, everywhere... This is what caused the so huge change? Turned out to be a human that bad habit destroyed the ecological environment, no one has the courage to stand up to stop. Have people unaware of the danger is quietly coming?

News often report news of casualties, such as someone because drink beverages containing chemicals and poisoning, and people were containing sand blown blind eyes... Ah! Absolutely horrible! If everyone around you endlessly environmental pollution, destruction of their homes, so, I really cant imagine that ten years, twenty years, thirty years later... Our home what happens earth-shaking changes, our descendants will blame us, what makes you denied the right to our survival!

Yeah! We dont have the privilege to damage the environment, to destroy their homes. We should not only cherish own life, more want to future generations the survival of the society in harmony with nature, for the sake of nature.

Boys and girls, lets see some action! Protect the environment, care for the home! Everyone to get rid of bad habits, start from around things, such as: dont throw away waste batteries, use water and electricity saving, try to walk or ride a bike... I believe, as long as we carefully action, and will lose everything back to nature, will be our fault compensation back. Let the future home is not painful, but the eternal beautiful young!

你们知道吗?时间不知不觉地流逝着。你们发现了吗?我们的家园变成了另一副模样：清澈见底的小河变成了污泥浊水，肮脏的灰尘充斥着空气，无处不在……这是什么原因造成了这样如此巨大的变化呢?原来是人类那不良的恶习破坏了生态环境，更没有人有勇气挺身而出去阻止。难道人们没有意识到危急时刻正悄悄来临了吗?

新闻常常报道伤亡的消息，比如有人因为喝了含有化学品的饮料而中毒，还有人被含有沙粒的风吹瞎了眼睛……啊!简直惨不忍睹啊!如果身边的每一个人都无休止地污染环境，破坏家园，那么，我真的不敢想象：十年，二十年，三十年后……我们的家园会发生怎样翻天覆地的变化，我们的子孙后代会不会责怪我们——你们凭什么剥夺了我们生存的权利!

是啊!我们没有这个特权去破坏环境，去毁灭家园。我们不仅应该爱惜自己的生命，更要为了子孙后代的生存学会与大自然和谐相处，多多为大自然着想。

同学们，赶快行动起来吧!保护环境，爱护家园!人人改掉恶习，从身边的小事做起，比如：不随便丢弃废电池，节约用水电，尽量步行或骑自行车……我相信，只要我们认真地行动起来，就一定会把大自然失去的一切都找回来，就一定会把我们的过错补偿回来。让未来的家园不是痛苦，而是永恒的美丽年轻!

Several problems are caused by the non-organic substance. We ought not to pour wastes into the ocean, because it not only pollutes the ocean, but also lead to a series of harmful consequence. First and foremost, the non-organnic things, for instance, plastic bags, may kill fish and whales. Second, fishes cant digest them. Finally, some of the rubbish is inherently toxic, they will posion marine life.

We must take actions to protect our whale from dying. One thing we should do is creating a better system of disposing of rubbish. Another effective solution is making ships environmentally friendly. Sypermarkets shall stop the giving of plastic bags.

As a captain of the ship, you should spare no efforts to think more helpful ideas and stop dumping rubbish from now on. We all need to raise awareness of these problems. It now becomes necessary that we must act now, before it is too late!

这些天我经常看到大家乱砍滥伐。树木是人类的朋友，我们要保护它们，没有树木我们将无法生存。

它能够保护土地，阻挡风沙，防止土地沙化，它能够储存水分防止洪水泛滥成灾，保护大家的生命，财产安全，它能够调结气温有冬暖夏凉的功效，像一个巨大的空调气。森林很重要吧！

还可以做纸，桌子，椅子……

在我家向南走有一个树林，里面有红艳艳的花绿油油的小草，鸟语花香。我几乎每天都要去那玩，因为那绿树成荫，鲜花遍地，我就躺在那睡觉，特别舒服。有时不有一群山羊在那吃草，有的在那 小河边喝水，有的还学我躺在那，好像一幅优美的图画。

爱护它们吧，让祖国变成绿色家园。

Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is shown in the chart, we can see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least 1 million animal species have disappeared. Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece of sensational news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not see these animals in the near future.

From the second picture, we can find some reasons. Why is the number of animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and these clothes sell at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals in a large quantity. This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.

As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal action. We believe "no buying, no killing". First, we must make concerning laws to protect these animals in danger. Second, we must take some measures to protect animals effectively. Animals are our friends and part of our environment. Third, we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and our environment. In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a sustainable development.

Oceans becoming more acidicThe worlds oceans are slowly getting more acidic, say scientists.The researchers from California say the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters pH value is not great at the moment but could pose a serious threat to current marine life if it continues, they warn.Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of fossil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater.

Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid.Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.But these researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change."This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira."And we predicted amounts of future acidity that exceed anything we saw over the last several hundred million years, apart from perhaps after rare catastrophic events such as asteroid impacts."If carbon dioxide release continues unabated, ocean pH could be reduced by as much as 0.77 units, the authors warn.It is not absolutely clear what that means for marine life, however.

Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean lifeforms may be more sensitive to pH changes.Coral reefs and other organisms whose skeletons or shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected, the team speculate. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH.In recent years some people have suggested deliberately storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of curbing global warming.But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered."Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing - because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet; and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.
