The Earth is a beautiful place. There are forests and rivers, mountains and fields, seas and oceans. But there is a lot of pollution. People put rubbish into the sea and under the ground. This pollutes the Earth and lots of animals and plants die. What can we do to protect the Earth? Let's listen to our Mother Earth.

If you love , please save the resources(资源). Start with the little things around you: Turn off the light and the tap when you do not use them.
