Environmental protection-concept

First, we must abide by the prohibition of littering, and throw the waste into designated places or containers, especially don't throw waste batteries, because the heavy metals contained in a waste battery will cause very serious pollution if it flows into clean water.

Second, in learning, we should try our best to save stationery and put an end to waste. For example, pencils are made of wood, and wasting pencils is equivalent to destroying forests.

Thirdly, try to avoid using disposable beverage cups, foam lunch boxes, plastic bags and disposable chopsticks, and replace them with ceramic cups, paper lunch boxes, cloth bags and ordinary bamboo chopsticks, which can greatly reduce the generation of garbage.

Fourth, we should take good care of flowers and trees, not destroy urban greening, and actively participate in greening and tree planting activities.
