Environment is closely related to our lives, and we cannot overemphasize(过分强调) the importance of environmental protection. 1. Our Mother Earth is the only place for us to live in at present. 2. Human beings are part of our nature, so we should live in harmony with nature. 3. Destroying nature is actually destroying ourselves, because we depend on nature for survival. 4.
