As is symbolically depicted in the picture, two tourists are sitting on a boat and doing sightseeing. While they are enjoying the scenery along the way, they are throwing rubbish into the lake, which is therefore littered with bottles, empty cans, and waste food. What the picture is trying to convey is reflected in the caption: the leftovers of the travel.

In fact, the metaphorical picture intends to reveal that due attention should be given to the environmental protection. Considering the importance of the present situation, I feel responsible to discuss it further. To begin with, higher education should play a key role in aiding students’ growth and development. However, schools nowadays tend to pay special attention to students’ academic scores rather than their morality. This will definitely give rise to the phenomenon depicted in the picture. Furthermore, in recent years, China is marked by rapid economic growth and continuous technological innovation. However, public morality has declined to an extent. More and more people are becoming indifferent to the environment. This phenomenon can be attributed to the lack of well-defined norms of behaviors.

To sum up, environmental protection is caring about ourselves and ensuring environmental sustainability for future generation. The fundamental way in which the government addresses the problem is to raise the public awareness. The mass media should also join in the efforts in educating the citizens. Only through concerted steps can our society have more peace and harmony. (240 words)
