One of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction(破坏) of our environment.
Brown clouds,polluted water,endangered(濒危的) wild animals…These problems seem so huge.
So my family do what we can. We take cloth(布制的) bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk where we don't have to drive…
But does it do any good?When I am the only one at the market with cloth bags,am I doing any good?Does my walking to stores make any difference to the world?
I recently learned something about flamingos(火烈鸟). They like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. Every year, when it is time for migration, a few of them first take off from the lake. But the others don't notice it, so the small group returns. However, the next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them,but most of them still pay no attention,so they return again. They try for several times.
Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before,then more. Finally,they all take offand the migration really begins. What a wonderful view it must be—thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at the same time!
A few can make a difference. Even if you're the one to take the first step continue trying, and others will notice. If we work together, we will solve even our greatest problems.
