建设节约型校园英语作文

　　In this age of rapid depletion of natural resources, it is of paramount importance to create a conservation-oriented campus. The creation of such an ecologically-friendly campus would significantly contribute to China s overall efforts to become a leading low-carbon nation in the world.

　　The most compelling reason for such an endeavor is to change a deep-entrenched misconception prevalent among college students. Most universities provide water and electricity for free, misleading students into believing that such resources are limitless and inexhaustible. We should realize that, currently, many parts of our country are suffering from unprecedented drought and power scarcity. We should show due concern for the welfare of people in those places by refusing to be selfish in satisfying our own needs. As responsible citizens of our society, we have the responsibility to recycle whatever we can lay hands on. The small efforts by a single individual may make a huge difference.

　　To be a well-educated college student is to be conservation conscious. College graduates are the future of our country and by enhancing their conservation awareness they would definitely play a leading role in protecting our environment in the future and in making our world a better place to live.
