उत्तर
Good morning, esteemed Chief Guest, the Head Master, teachers, dear friends, and invitees. I am Shobha, Secretary of GO GREEN, the Environment Club of our school. Today, I stand before you to share my views on the topic “Stopping pollution is the best solution”. We humans have always deceived ourselves by thinking that someone else will save our planet.
Can you imagine… for the past 200 years we have been conquering nature, and now we are beating it to death by constantly polluting it. The Earth is not dying, it is being killed and the people who are killing it have names and addresses. All the human actions in this modem world directly impact the whole ecosystem. Industrial emissions, poor disposal of wastes, mining, deforestation, use of fossil fuels, and agricultural activities, ultimately harm nature which is the sole provider of pure oxygen, food, and other requirements of man and animal.
Animals are becoming extinct. There are newer diseases evolving for which diagnosis has become impossible and so takes a long time to find a cure. Due to pollution, the number of various chemical elements is increasing in the atmosphere which ultimately causes irregular rainfall and global warming. Who is responsible? It is time we start thinking and doing our bit to be conservative and eco-friendly.
Let us walk or cycle to our workplaces/schools. Let us not use plastic bags. Let us all keep our surroundings clean and plant at least one tree. As quoted by Lady Bird Johnson, “The Environment is Where we all meet; Where we all have a Mutual Interest; It is the one thing we all share”. So, let’s be eco-friendly and go green. Thank you. Have a good day.
