Part II

Everyone is responsible for the planet. As a high school student, I protect the Earth in my own ways. I always bring my own bag while shopping and thus I won’t waste one plastic bag. Also, in order to avoid using disposable chopsticks, I use my own chopsticks while dining out. Small as my contributions are, I believe if I continue doing them, they could be powerful enough to save the environment. Global warming threatens animals and plants. We must bear in mind that we have only one earth and that we are running out of time to save it.
