YOUR WORKS:

THANKS CRISTI FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION!
Here it goes...
"the environment is very important fot the health of the Earth.We need to take care of it,because if we don´t do it, our children will have to face up to it.That´s why saving water is a good idea, because lakes and rivers are almost dry.We could also try to recycle materials like paper and glass, and we would stop wasting money on producing them,when we can spend less by recycling.However, we can´t hesitate and we must try to help the Earth,because if we don´t do it, we will not be able to go backwards". SENT BY CRISTI AND JUAN
