Money for the Environment
Both the arts and protecting the environment are important causes, and both are often underfunded. They depend on government grants and private donations in order to continue. If a company were to give a sum of money to one of these causes, it would be difficult to choose between them. However, I believe that the company should put the money toward protecting the environment for the following reasons.
First, the state of the environment affects everyone, and it affects people in a very important way. If mankind destroys the environment, we will not be able to survive. The arts are important to our quality of life, but the environment is important both to the quality of life and to life itself. Second, because industry causes much of the damage to the environment, I believe that companies have some responsibility to support conservation and cleanup efforts. Finally, protecting the environment is a bigger problem, and so requires a higher level of funding than the arts. A company’s donation to the arts may be more visible, but one to the protection of the environment would be more meaningful.
In conclusion, while both the arts and environmental protection are worthy causes, I believe the company should make its donation to an environmental cause. The environment affects everyone in important ways and protecting it is a big job. Hopefully, private donations will help to improve both our environment and our lives.

资助环保
艺术和环保都是值得努力的重要目标，但却经常有资金不足的问题。们必须依赖政府的补助金以私人的捐赠才能持续发展。如果有公司要提供一大笔钱给其中之一，这将很难抉择。然而，我认为基下列理由，公司应该钱用来资助环保。
首先，环境会影响到每个人，并且影响重大。如果破坏了环境，人类将无法生存。艺术对我们的生活品质很重要，但是环境对生活品质及生活本身都很重要。第二，因为工业对环境造成重大的伤害，所以我认为，企业有责任支持在环保及环境清洁方的努力。最后，环保是个重大问题，比艺术需要更多的资金。公司捐钱资助艺术可能会引起较多的注意，但是捐钱资助环保则更有意义。
总之，虽然艺术与环保都是值得努力的目标，但是我认为，企业应该捐钱资助环保。环境对每个人都有重大的影响，而且环保是一项大工程。但愿私人的捐赠能协助改善我们的环境及生活。
