Protect Our Earth
Mahatma Gandhi ever said that "Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed." Simple as the motto may sound, it conveys a thought-provoking notion that each of us has no any reason to exploit natural resources of the Earth recklessly and excessively though the natural resources of the world are abundant enough to meet the need of human beings.
We have only one Earth. How to tackle the problem of protection of environment and Earth and how to save energy effectively is crucial to our increasingly modernized society. The rapid development of economy shouldn't be based on the price of deteriorated environment. Saving such resources as water, oil, gas, coal and wood could ensure the sustainable development of the society and environment. Otherwise, these resources would be exhausted one day and nothing would be left for the future generation.
In a word, it is imperative for us to cherish and protect the nature for the benefit of next generations and ourselves. We should effectively protect, rationally exploit and economize on natural resources. Only in this way can we embrace a green, harmonious, abundant and beautiful world. (196 words)

文章分為三段
第一段：引用甘地的名言，并解釋名言所散發(fā)的哲理思考。
第二段：指出"我們只有一個(gè)地球"，具體分析我們?cè)撊绾伪Ｗo(hù)環(huán)境、節(jié)約能源。
第三段：得出結(jié)論，指出"珍愛地球、保護(hù)環(huán)境"刻不容緩，并向大家發(fā)出倡導(dǎo)。
保護(hù)我們的地球
圣雄甘地說(shuō)過"地球能滿足人類的需求，卻滿足不了人類的貪婪。"這個(gè)格言道理很簡(jiǎn)單，它發(fā)人深思地告訴我們：盡管我們生活的世界自然資源豐富得足以滿足我們?nèi)祟惖男枰?，我們每個(gè)人都沒有任何理由不顧后果地、過度地開發(fā)自然資源。
我們只有一個(gè)地球。如何保護(hù)環(huán)境和保護(hù)地球，以及如何高效地節(jié)省能源，對(duì)我們發(fā)展日益現(xiàn)代化的社會(huì)是個(gè)迫在眉睫的問題。經(jīng)濟(jì)的迅猛發(fā)展不應(yīng)以環(huán)境惡化為代價(jià)。只有節(jié)約像水、石油和天然氣、煤炭和木材這樣的自然資源才能確保社會(huì)和經(jīng)濟(jì)的可持續(xù)發(fā)展。否則，這些自然資源終將有一天會(huì)消耗殆盡，我們也不能為子孫后代留下什么。
總之，為了下一代，為了我們自己，珍愛地球、保護(hù)自然刻不容緩。我們應(yīng)該高效保護(hù)、合理開發(fā)以及節(jié)約利用自然資源。只有這樣，我們才能擁有綠色、和諧、富足和美麗的世界。
