उत्तर
Respected Principal, chief guest, and dignitaries on the dais and off the dais.
Good evening. I am immensely delighted to speak to you on World Environment Day. All of you know that we celebrate Environment Day on 5th June, every year, let me explain why we celebrate World Environment Day. The relationship between humanity and the environment is a delicate balance. Since the industrial revolution, the world’s population has increased exponentially. With the population growth, the environment has been profoundly affected. Deforestation, pollution, and global climatic changes are amongst the adverse effects of the explosive population and technological expansion that have introduced. The main objective of Environment Day is to gain a greater understanding of the environment. This enhanced awareness, I believe, will help the country reduce carbon footprints, increase the use of solar power, reduce and recycle non-biodegradable waste and evolve alternative technologies which would reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
Moreover, tree planting will be done on a mission mode by school children and college students representing NCC and NSS wings. This would spread the forest cover and give shelter to the wildlife and also ensure plentiful rainfall sustaining life on this lovely planet. The student community shall disseminate the urgent need to conserve water and other natural resources. I appeal to the younger generation, I mean my friends to be socially responsive and do their part to preserve the environment.
