  Conservation Efforts at Jurong Lake Park

  The government and authorities have made efforts to conserve Jurong Lake Park. There are signs around Jurong Lake Park to tell park-users not to:

• swim in the lake
• use live baits to fish
• litter

  The government and authorities also put rubbish bins and recycle bins around Jurong Lake Park. 


However, these efforts are not very effective as litter such as plastic bottles and papers can still be seen in the park. I think it is because that people need to walk quite a long distance to find another rubbish bin if they missed one earlier on. Hence, they just throw the litter into the lake or on the ground as they are too lazy to walk long distances to find the rubbish bin.

I would suggest the authorities to place more rubbish bins in the park so that it will be more convenient for people to throw their rubbish and thus, the amount of litter will be reduced.



Yes, the authorities is doing their part to safeguard the natural environment. They hire cleaners to clear up rubbish on the ground. They also put up noticeboards and signs around the natural environment to remind tourists and people to throw litter into the rubbish bins, not on the ground. 
Although there is still rubbish in the natural environment, the amount of rubbish on the ground is little. Therefore, I believe that the authorities is doing their part.

Everyone should do their part to conserve the natural environment. Here are some of the things we can do:

• save trees by recycling newspapers and magazines
• reduce greenhouse gases by walking or using bicycles instead of taking cars
• bring our own bags, such as paper bags, when buying things to reduce the usage of plastic bags, which are non-biodegradable

Natural environment provides homes for the world's plants and animals. It supply plants and animals with everything they need, such as food, shelter and protection. In addition, natural environment provides the oxygen we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and the materials we need for buildings.
From the information above, we can know how important natural environment is. Thus, we should make an effort to conserve the natural environment.
