“Saving Our Environment”

Thank you master of ceremony. Good morning to the honourable judges,

teachers and my fellow friends. Today, I will be giving a speech entitled “Saving
Our Environment.”

Environment is our surrounding which includes everything from a non-

living to a living being. We all are aware about the importance of saving the
environment. It is the responsibility of every person in checking the causes that
affect the environmental disaster and play a positive role in improving it and
these things have also got to be mentioned. We must realize the importance of
a healthy environment and that it is for our own benefit to protect it and to
take measures to make the world clean and green because as the proverb says
"We won't have a society if we destroy the environment". There are some ways
to save our nature, such as : we have to use compact fluorescent light bulbs, we
must plant the trees, we have to turn off our devices and we have to avoid
using your personal vehicles as much as possible.

We have to use fluorescent light bulbs. We should change our normal

bulbs to them. They will definitely reduce our electric bill plus, they also give
off 70 percent less heat than normal bulbs. It is true that these bulbs are
more expensive, but they last much longer and they can save energy and in the
long term our electricity bill would be reduced.

In addition, we must plant the tress. If we have a backyard or a small

space of land in front of our house, start planting a tree. Plants are the only
source that absorb carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and release oxygen. It is
estimated that a single tree can absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide
during its lifetime. If we don’t have enough space, keep small plant tubs in your
doorway, balcony, and windows.

Not only that, we also must turn off our devices when they are not
needed. When we do not use a house device, turn it off. For example, if we
don't watch TV, turn it off. Turn off the light when we leave a room and so on.
Encourage others to do the same and teach our kids this habit too. Even if we
don’t care much about the environment, this practice will help to reduce our
electric bills.

And then, we have to avoid using our personal vehicles as much as

possible. Driving is one of the biggest causes of pollution. If we want to use
your car, ask ourselves the following question: do I really need my car? Walk or
use our bike if the journey is a short one. Instead of driving to the next block
why not go walking or cycling? Not only save energy, but walking and cycling are
great forms of exercise too.

As I said earlier, we can do several ways to protect our environment as

well as possible. Then, they can help us to get started how to keep them. This is
our responsibility and play positive role in improving it. We must realize that’s
the most important thing that we have to do. We will have a good society if we
don’t destroy our environment.

THANK YOU.
