ect OurselvesGood morning, everyone!
It’s my honor to stand here to make the speech. The topic of my speech is “Protect the Environment, Protect Ourselves”.
When I was a little girl, I usually played with my friends in the river in front of our house. It was a small river and the water can just submerge our calf. The river was so clean that its bottom can be seen through the water. The tadpole moved freely in the water. The flowers opened here and there. The birds were singing leisurely. That’s the most beautiful scene in my memory about my childhood.
Several years passed, the river is no longer like the past look. When I go back my hometown, the river shocks me. Waste paper and used Coke cans are discarded everywhere. Plastic bags fly in the sky and get caught in the trees when the wind blows. Garbage floats in the river and pollute the water. I can even hear the cry of the river,“Help! Help(本文来自：WwW.dXf5.coM 东星 资源网:93年山东高考作文)! ”
Now, more and more people realize that humans are to blame for the worsening of the Earth’s environment, including the climate change and the environmental pollution. Our activities today will have a profound impact on society, not only for us, but for many generations to come.
Many scientists proved that the climate warming was caused by burning of fossil fuels in factories, buildings and cars. The sea level rises faster than past decades.
On the other hand, a large amount of waste collected from homes, offices and industries end up in landfills. Landfills are a major source of pollution. They contain harmful chemicals that can seep into the soil and make it polluted.
Protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility. Firstly, governments should forbid destroying plants, rivers and lakes, oceans, and the atmosphere as well. Secondly, voices should be heard to remind the public of the importance of protecting the environment. Thirdly, enterprises should pay special attention to the effect they have on the environment and work out solutions to the problems.
Only by changing the way we treat the environment can we get along well with it. It’s high time that we unite as one to make up this common cause. No matter young or old, women or men, we are just one people on the lonely planet. Protect the environment is to protect ourselves.
