Environment protection is a hot topic that has been widely discussed around the world. With the development of the global economy, environment pollution has become more and more serious. In order to protect and improve our living environment, we must take some effective measures to minimize pollution and reduce waste. First of all, we must adopt energy-saving and pollution reduction technologies. We can work with energy-saving and low-pollution devices to reduce energy consumption and save resources. Moreover, we can reduce the use of wood, paper and other resources and instead use recyclable materials. For instance, we can use paper bags instead of plastic bags when we shop in order to reduce the amount of plastic pollution. Second, we should enhance the awareness of environmental protection among the people. People should be more aware of the importance of environmental protection, and encouraged to join in environmental protection in their daily life to reduce the environmental pollution. For example, people should save water and electricity, walk or ride a bike instead of taking a car and plant more trees to filter the air. Last but not the least, government at all levels should take effective measures to protect the environment. Governments should improve the legal system and strengthen the enforcement of environmental protection laws. In addition, they should establish special funds to support research and development of environment-friendly technologies and encourage individuals and business to comply with the regulations. In conclusion, each of us is responsible for protecting the environment. We should work together to reduce our energy consumption, reduce pollution and minimize waste. Only in this way can we create a more beautiful and safe living environment for both present and future generations.
