friendly Decide which way you would choose as being the best one to make your area greener
There are THREE options for you to choose:
- Recycle bins in public places
- Plant trees
- Educate the people on the environment
I think the most effective way to protect environment is educating the people on the environment If people fully understand about the serious consequences of their
Trang 10actions to the environment such as throwing rubbish on the streets, smoking, and so son, they will control their actions better Singapore is a good example of green environment and the key is people’s good awareness towards environment Putting recycle bins in public places is not a good idea because, as we all know, although there are a lot of recycle bins everywhere people still put rubbish into the road Moreover, planting trees does not help very much since it cannot solve the environmental problems fully In conclusion, people should be educated on the environment
