      A very good morning I bid to our beloved principal, teachers and fellow students. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude for being given this opportunity to give a talk on “Save the environment” as the president of the Friends of the Environment Club.
      As all of us know, next Monday people from all over the world will celebrate World Environment Day. It seems that we, human beings have started to have an awareness of how important it is for the omnipresent – mother nature to us.
      From the 19th century, the Renaissance period, we humans have started to explore a lot of new things. Revolutions had brought us technologies, but at the same time, we are slowly killing the Earth – our home. Therefore, it is very important for us to conserve our environment for the sake of our grandchildren and our future generations. Not only should we conserve the environment, but preserve.
      What is meant by conserving and persevering? Conserving is to maintain and take care of the environment, preventing it from being destroyed; while preserving is taking good care and repairing or rebuilding to save the green environment from facing extinction. From this point of view, we know that we must not abuse the environment. Practices of sustainable development should be taken, avoid over development causing the imbalance of the ecosystem.
      Logging is also one of the major causes that lead to pollution as well as to soil erosion, landslides and floods that occur often and take away a lot of people’s precious lives. Thus, we should not simply cut down forests or else the consequences will be nasty. The use of cooling agents in refrigerators and air conditioners, give out CFC gas which is a very reactive gas. This leads to the disappearing ozone that protects us from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Hence, we must not let the technological advances be the cause of pollution.
      On the other hand, pollution is yet another major problem we are facing all over the world. From the air we breathe, to the ground water we drink, all has been polluted by human activities. Toxic wastes from the industries cause industrial pollution that is followed by air, water as well as sound pollution. This contaminates the crystal blue rivers, seas, and our water supply!
       From all the points that I have mentioned, we can clearly see that our home – our Earth is sick. We humans should raise awareness and stop all these activities that would destroy the environment, our home and the Earth! Let us bring our hands together, to create a bright future, a beautiful home and a healthy lifestyle for a better life. Save the Earth! With that, I thank you.

Nice words. As you said, we should save the environment, but there is one thing that many do not know. Only a few shall change and will truly do something because most of the humanity love the way how they live, the comfortable, luxuries life. Firstly humanity should start not by saving the environment but to put down technology, cars, mobile phones and start to live how it was meant for the humans to live, because nature can save itself and it was doing it way back when humans did not existed. Secondly, after accepting the roots of existence and accepting ourselves for whom and what we are, that would be the biggest help for Mother Earth. I am doing the same thing, trying to help as much as I can, and I could say there are a few who will help, but most will watch. In this life, we have to accept this, maybe the next life will be better. Until, let's hope ( that dies last :) ) and learn to be patient. Thank you for sharing this message :pray: Namaste!
