Dear editor，
I'm Wang Ping．I'm writing to offer your newspaper an article Trying to Save Both for Natural Resources and the Environment．
Saving is very important because natural resources in our world may run out one day，so we should save some for our offspring．Meanwhile，saving can help us avoid producing waste，which will make our homeland more beautiful．As students，we should make our contributions．For example，we can recycle our textbooks or use both sides of our exercise books．In this way more trees would be saved．What's more，we Chinese have a good tradition of saving and regard wasting as a shame，so we call for everybody's action to save what we can to make our beautiful life last forever．
Best wishes
Yours sincerely．
