保护地球环境，并不是一件离我们很远、很难做到的事情。 实际上，我们只需注意一下身边的小事就可以。 例如，夏天把空调的温度开得高一些，出门时记得关空调和电脑，这样可以节约用电；少开车，多骑车或者乘坐地铁和公共汽车，这样能降低空气污染；还有养成把垃圾丢进垃圾桶的习惯什么的。 这些是我们每个人都能够做到的小事，但却有实实在在的效果。 地球是我们共同的家，只有大家共同努力，减少污染、保护环境，才能使我们的家变得更美丽。

Protecting the Earth's environment is not something far from us or hard to do. In fact, we only need to pay a little attention to the small things around us. For example, in summer set the air conditioner temperature a bit higher, and remember to turn off the air conditioner and the computer when you go out; drive less and ride a bike or take the subway and buses, which can reduce air pollution; also develop the habit of throwing trash into trash bins, and so on. These are small things that each of us can do, but they have real effects. The Earth is our common home, and only by everyone working together to reduce pollution and protect the environment can our home become more beautiful.
