Without plants, life will not go on, Plants make the air clean, they can keep water from flowing away(流失). They can stop wind from blowing up sand and earth. But in some places people are cutting down too many trees. This brings floods(洪水) and sandstorm(沙暴). Now more and more people know that plants are important.
