I am going to present a short speech on Environment.

Our environment consists of all living

beings as well as their surroundings. A healthy environment is one that is sustainable for a long
period of time. It is the source of life for everyone. It directs the life of everyone and determines
the proper growth and development.
The good or bad quality of our life is depending on the quality of our natural environment. Our
need for food, water, shelter, and other things depends on the environment around us. There
must be a balanced natural cycle that exists between the environment and the lives of human
beings, plants, and animals.
There are many harmful effects of human activities on the environment. Some of these are
pollution, over-population, waste disposal, climate change, global warming, and the greenhouse
effect, etc. The big reason that poses a serious threat to our environment is the harmful gases in
the air.
The uncontrolled use of automobiles has increased their effects, which in turn emits harmful
gases like Carbon monoxide. The electronic appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators
also contaminating air by the discharge of harmful substances. The diverse effect of these
gases is causing air pollution as well as global warming.
Human society is playing a vital role in degenerating the natural environment which is affecting
badly the lives on this planet. All the human actions in this modern world directly impact our
ecosystem. Many actions of us have brought big changes to this planet, resulting in many
environmental problems. Increasing demand for technologies and industries is another
important factor.
Deforestation is another major reason. The human population is increasing at a fast rate and
therefore to meet their daily consumption we need to cut forests and trees. It may be for home
or for fuel, but we are causing great loss to the environment.
Other factors are the depletion of natural resources like water, fuel, and food. On the other
hand over-consumption of resources by humans and improper waste disposal have resulted in
a huge quantity of solid and hazardous wastes. These wastes are other threats to the
environment.
Due to all the above human activities, our planet has reached unsustainable levels. Therefore, it
is our duty and responsibility to lower the loss. Every individual can play a significant role in this
solution.
For example, we should take a pledge to say ‘No’ to plastics. Instead of it, we may make use of
Eco-friendly substitutes like paper and cloth bags.
The government of every country must implement strict laws for industries, those are releasing
the toxic wastes for proper waste management. The awareness programs should be organized
to encourage citizens to use public transport as much as possible.
Also, everyone must do plantation of trees. The less use of private vehicles will reduce the
emission of harmful gases as well will save fuel resources.
In the end, I want to say that we must spread environmental awareness in our society as well
as in our daily routine life. It is necessary to save and protect our environment. In my view, it is
the responsibility of everyone to do our bit for the environment. Therefore, let us work together
towards a greener and more sustainable future.
