Have you ever planted some trees on Tree Planting Day? Every year millions of people , both the old and the young plant a lot of trees. But this may not be the best way to make our home a greener place. Last week we visited a city in Hebei. We were all surprised to see a lot of trees burning near the hills. We Drove there and asked why, the workers there told us that the trees died soon after they were planted. So they burned them and cleaned the place for planting new trees this year. We found a card and it said, “I hope this tree will grow up with me to be the backbone (栋梁) of our country.” The workers said that it was important for us to plant more trees, but making them alive was more important.
