It can be hard for one person to protect the environment by himself. If you teenagers want to do something, like stopping pollution or protecting wildlife, you can gather like­minded people in an environmental club. 【小题1】 And with a good club, you and your friends can be up to the task.

Choose a cause. Some good ideas might be something like, “Save the whales!” But nothing says you can’t do more than one cause. 【小题2】 For example, you could work to save polar bears in November, plant trees in December, and stop global warming in January.

【小题3】 This can be as simple as “The Environmental Club” or as cool as “Team Environment”. You can also use some other words, such as green, environmental, friendly, and of course, something that relates to your cause.

Once completely inaccessible, 【小题3】 gold, uranium and oil are just some of the valuable resources which lie beneath the continent’s icy covering.

For centuries, Europeans wondered about the existence of a South-pole continent, but no one actually knew for certain Antarctica was there until 1820 when European explorers “discover” it. Since then, men have gone to Antarctica in search of adventure, testing their abilities. 【小题4】

【小题5】 Damage to the environment occurs as people come looking for resources beneath the ice, or carelessly leave their garbage behind.
