Saving the Plants
Saving the Plants
Conservation means “saving things that come from nature” — air, soil,
water, animals, and plants.
Plants might not seem to need care, but they do. Plants can get sick,
just as people can. Insects can chew their leaves or roots until they
die. Fire can turn them into a pile of ashes.
Polluted air from cars and factories can choke the life out of plants.
And when ground is dug up for factories, mines, and parking lots, plants
lose the space they need to live.
We need to save the plants. They give us beauty and food and fresh air.
We couldn’t live without them.
That’s why conservation is important to the plants—and to you, too.
