Last week, our class had a discussion on how to protect the environment, and we came up with some interesting, practical suggestions. Some students suggested using banana leaves to wrap food in order to save paper. Another idea is to reuse and recycle bottles and cans so that we can reduce garbage and save our natural resources. Some other students have decided to go to school by bicycle to save energy and keep the air clean. But, another group gave a better idea when they suggested taking public buses for less exhaust fumes and less traffic jams. Our teacher agreed with all the opinions, but he also added that things were easier said than done, and that we had to do a lot to make our suggestions become reality.
