Recently we have held a class meeting to discuss what is considered to be honorable behavior and what is shameful. It is really a pity to see all this in our school.Some students dont respect their teachers or parents. Some dont take their studies seriously and cheat in exams. Some throw wastes everywhere and pollute the environment .I shared a daily life story with my classmates after listening to others .

In a summer vacation，I went to the West Lake in Hangzhou. With the fresh air surrounding and golden sun shining.The scenery cant be more fascinating. While enjoying the beautiful nature.I also saw some awful behaviors.A couple who were in a boat were appreciating the beautiful scene while doing something that really damages the environment.Ignoring the sign‘No Litter nearby，they dropped their litter into the clear lake.What was worse， they did not seem to realize how terrible the influence is.Scenic staff saw what they had done，chastised them and punish them by a fine.But they just paid the money leaving with no regrets.Its such a shameful behavior that I cant help condemning it.Not only does this behavior reflect their low personal quality，but also pollute the environment.

This kind of behavior ruined my mood in walking tour，but soon a little girl cured it.I saw a six years old girl holding a plastic bag which was full of food wrappings.There was no dustbin in the path.She just kept holding it with no thought to throw it away.At last， she found a dustbin.She ran to it with cheers and threw it in.What a honorable behavior！What a successful environmental education she got！It makes me wonder why a little girl can do something to protect environment which adults disdain to do.

Confronted with the severe situation of our environment.we should take the responsibility to protect it. The environmental education should be popularized in all ages.We should arouse people's awareness of environmental protection constantly.Lets start to preserve our‘home and make it more beautiful.
