Honorable
adjudicators,
Dear
brothers and sisters.
Ladies and
gentlemen,
I would
like to introduce myself. My name is Fika Maslakha. I am the student of Islamic
Senior high school in Sidoarjo. I am pleased to have the opportunity to meet
you all and I am hoping that with this activity everybody here could express
all the best of them. In this great opportunity, allow me to deliver my speech
with the title “Global Warming: The Cause, Effect and the solution.
Ladies and
gentlemen,
Global
warming is the increase in temperature of the earth’s atmosphere that is caused by the increase of
particular gases especially carbon dioxide. What causes global warming? Many
experts believe that our production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse
gases is heating the atmosphere, and this could be very dangerous for human
life. Carbon dioxide and other air pollution that is collecting in the
atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun’s heat and causing the
planet to warm up.
So now, how can we as individuals do our part
to help saveing the planet? The
answer is simpler than you may think. You don’t have to go miles away from home
to protest, or spend masses of money. If you try to follow the few simple steps
that I shall now give you, you will have started to help this earth.
Firstly,
plant a tree. This could be easier than it sounds. Join or help out a local
wildlife group and ask to plant a tree. Trees, when fully grown, will help keeping the planet cooler. On the same
point, you could protest against the demolition of the rainforests. This is the
same principle, we need the trees to cool our planet and yet they are chopping
them down to create roads or homes.
Something
as simple as walking instead of taking car will help reduce pollution. As well
as stopping pollution, you are giving yourself exercise, something important
for our bodies. So the next time you get into your car, or your motorbike,
think twice
or more, do I have to
make this journey by vehicle or can I walk?
If
possible, buy your fruit and vegetables from local suppliers. And try to avoid
imported goods. The more foreign food that we import the more pollution from airplanes
and boats it will create.
Keeping to
the speed limit can also help the environment. The more you speed the more
petrol you are going to use, making the pollution higher. Also, SUV’s make
about six times their own weight in CO2 each year. A small efficient diesel car
covering the same distance not only uses much less fuel; it makes two thirds
less.
Reduce,
reuse and recycle. Only buy what you need; don’t stock the cupboards with
things you may or may not use. Reuse whatever you can, like containers and
paper, and recycle what you cannot reuse. It really is as simple as that.
Finally
turning off unused sources of power such as televisions and air conditioner will help the environment, as
well as save your money.
If
everybody stuck to these rules, we would be doing a great thing by protecting
the earth. So please take into consideration what I have said, and try to do
your part. After all, it will be our next generation that will feel the
effects.
Ladies and gentlemen
As we meet
here today, the good news is that after too many years of inaction and denial,
there is finally widespread recognition of the urgency of the challenge before
us. We know what needs to be done. We know that our planet’s future depends on
a global commitment to permanently reduce greenhouse gas pollution. We know
that if we put the right rules and incentives in place, we will unleash the
creative power of our best scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs to build a
better world. And so many nations have already taken the first steps on the
journey towards that goal. Thank you very much,
Wassalamualaikum Wr. Wb
