Greetings, everyone! Today, I'd like to talk about something we all care a lot about: recycling. In a world where waste is becoming more and more common and has bad effects on the environment, recycling is an answer that not only helps us deal with this problem but also has big benefits for our planet.
Recycling is good in many ways. For example, recycling can help lower the amount of greenhouse gases that are released into the air. When we recycle things like paper, metal, and plastic, we cut down on the amount of trash that is burned, which releases harmful gases into the air.
Friends, we have a duty to take care of our surroundings and make it better for the people who come after us. Recycling is a small thing we can do, but if everyone does their part, it can make a big difference. Let's work together to find better ways to take care of our world by recycling. We can make a change if we work together. Thank you.

One day at school, I joined a group of active students from our neighbourhood in a campaign to help save energy. The goal of this campaign is to make more people realize how important it is to save energy to protect the environment.
First, we looked at how schools use energy and made some notes. We've noticed that a lot of electrical gadgets are often left on even when they aren't being used. Then we started telling our friends how important it is to save energy. We make posters that show easy ways to save energy, like turning off lights when they aren't being used, using mobile devices in an efficient way, and so on. To reach more people, we also make announcements at schools and share information on social media.
Through this campaign, we were able to make students and school staff more aware of how important it is to save energy. Some students even started to change their habits and make sure they didn't leave any unnecessary electronics on.
