Text: Saving the planet starts with us
Every day, we use things that harm the environment. Plastic bags, cars, and even electricity
from non-renewable sources can hurt nature. But we can change this! Recycling is one of the
easiest ways to help. People should recycle paper, glass, and plastic. We can also save energy
by turning off lights when we leave a room or using public transport.
Another important step is protecting animals and plants. Forests are being cut down, and
animals lose their homes. We need to support national parks and plant more trees. Even small
changes matter. If each person starts caring more about the Earth, we can make a big
difference.
