Community Conservation Day

“Animals, plants, and human beings rely on each other in the ecosystem for food, shelter, and support. Therefore we need to conserve the environment at large.” “I would like to be one of the people who are protect(ing) our environment.” “We use charcoal ball(s) so that we can reduce cutting down of trees.” “Planting trees reduces soil erosion.” “When we conserve the environment, i.e. plants and animals, we benefit ourselves.”
