* Correcting home work : a short article about how to live sustainably:


A single tree grows in a forest, it sets in the soil thriving in the sunglight and the rain ,it provides refuge for
animals and insects and breath a clean air back to the atmosphere , this is a model of sustainability that worked for
around 400 million years but more recently this delicate balance had started to waver because of people.

People are us , our neighbours our families and schoolmates relied and still relying on natural resources such as
oil , gas , water ... in their work in their social life and to survive .

In our society we only care about looting and consuming without thinking about the environment or about the
future our carless behaviours cost our world to lose its balance and destroy the stability our world needs ,thus we
need to live in a sustainable manner to restore this balance . In order to do this we have to reduce our carbon
emission , stop wasting water in unnecessary activities; moreover, helping in planting trees and protecting green
spaces , sensitize people by calling for afforestation campaign and participate in them . We can also help our society
even in our school by putting trash in its appropriate places like trashbins which are made for recycling , using cars
less frequently ,growing and farm our own food .

Finally, now more than ever we need to make better choices , to live better , to live sustainably .

The solution is simple and at your hands try the 3R's , our future depends on your good attitudes , save our world ,
save our planet.
