有关于植树节的英语作文
The first Arbor Day took place on April 10, 1872 in Nebraska. It was
the brainchild of Julius Sterling Morton (1832-1902), a Nebraska journalist
and politician originally from Michigan. Throughout his long and
productive career, Morton worked to improve agricultural techniques in
his adopted state and throughout the United States when he served as
President Grover Clevelands Secretary of Agriculture. But his most
important legacy is Arbor Day.
Morton (photo, right) felt that Nebraskas landscape and economy
would benefit from the wide-scale planting of trees. He set an example
himself planting orchards, shade trees and wind breaks on his own farm
and he urged his neighbours to follow suit. Mortons real opportunity,
though, arrived when he became a member of Nebraskas state board of
agriculture. He proposed that a special day be set aside dedicated to tree
planting and increasing awareness of the importance of trees. Nebraskas
first Arbor Day was an amazing success. More than one million trees were
planted. A second Arbor Day took place in 1884 and the young state made
it an annual legal holiday in 1885, using April 22nd to coincide with
Mortons birthday.
In the years following that first Arbor Day, Mortons idea spread
beyond Nebraska with Kansas, Tennessee, Minnesota and Ohio all
proclaiming their own Arbor Days. Today all 50 states celebrate Arbor Day
although the dates may vary in keeping with the local climate. (State Arbor
Days) At the federal level, in 1970, President Richard Nixon proclaimed
the last Friday in April as National Arbor Day. Arbor Day is also now
celebrated in other countries including Australia. Variations are
celebrated as Greening Week of Japan, The New Years Days of Trees in
Israel, The Tree-loving Week of Korea, The Reforestation Week of
Yugoslavia, The Students Afforestation Day of Iceland and The National
Festival of Tree Planting in India. Julius Sterling Morton would be proud.
Sometimes one good idea can make a real difference.

Planting Trees Day comes on March 12 every year. Do you know what
can we do to help on the day?
In China, Planting Trees Day is on March 12. This special day began in
1979. On that day, people can plant many trees. And if we plant trees
more, we must also take care of the trees by watering them until they
grow up to be strong. In different countries, Planting Trees Days are on
different days. Like in India, Planting Trees Day is on July 1.
Why do the people plant trees? It is very easy. Because they want to
protect the environment. There are many people who want to earn the
money form only cutting down trees. So more and more trees are cut by
them. But kind people want to protect the environment and make the air
clean. So they plant trees as many as they can.
All these actions show that people should pay more attention to the
environment. We want to make it better, don’t we? So we must plant
more trees to protect the environment.
So, everyone, if you want to make the air clean, please try your best
to protect the environment and plant more trees.
