What can you do to help protect the environment use less paper drive less and walk more use fewer plastic bottles and bags save water and cut down the use of electricity plant trees don't waste food don't use one-off things if possible, don't use air conditioners … “Harm” means something bad we have done to the earth, including polluting soils and seas, cutting down too many trees, etc. “Alarm” means the signal that warns us of the dangers of environmental damage, which urges us to find a solution. Let us not, however, flatter ourselves overmuch on account of our human victories over nature. For each such victory nature takes its revenge on us. —Friedrich Engels 但是我们不要对我们人类对自然界的胜利过分自以为是。对于每一次这样的胜利，自然界都对我们进行报复。 ———弗里德里希·恩格斯 THANK YOU END
