protect ourselves

good afternoon, my honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen and fellow contestants:

i feel so happy to have the chance to make a speech. the title of my speech is protect the environment, protect ourselves. i hope you will like it.

everybody knows waste paper and used coke cans are discarded everywhere. you might have seen plastic bags flying in the sky and getting caught in the trees when the wind blows or maybe you have seen old cans floating in the rivers and polluting the water. our environment is the place in which we live, but it is being ruined by us.

there is a story about house and trees. it is said that a man’s house was surrounded by a lot of trees. though the wind was strong, that man could have a good rest under the trees. how comfortable the life was! one day, that man wanted to enlarge his house, so he cut down all the trees. then the autumn came without the protection. the strong wind blew the roof of the house into the sky. the whole house was gone with the wind. what a pity! but that’s the price people have to pay for destroying in the ecology balance. people shouldn’t be short-sighted. protecting the environment is everyone’s task.

as you know, there are four kinds of pollution. they are air pollution, water pollution, waste pollution and noise pollution. but what can we do to solve the pollution? i think, firstly, we can make cars that don’t pollute the environment. we can ask companies to use modern clean technology. in some big cities, we can limit the number of cars. secondly, we can try to use less water and make sure that we do not pollute the water. we can tell factories that they are not allowed to pour waste water into the lakes and rivers. thirdly, we should not throw rubbish in parks and cities. we can pick up rubbish if we see it. we can put more rubbish bins in our parks and cities. fourthly, we can live far from the noise and make the laws to limit the noise.

the air, water and the whole atmosphere directly influenced our lives, such as the air, people may cough and it will lead to cancer. so we must try our best to keep the world clean and tidy. to reach it, i want to put forward three points to everybody---point 1: don’t spit and liter; point 2: don’t draw on the wall; point 3: clean the streets every day.

in order to make the environment clean, let’s join our hands together to make the world better.

thank you!

敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学们，大家好：

今天我演讲的主题是：节约资源，珍爱地球，保护环境，做一名合格的环保小卫士！

相信很多人一定听说过“地球一小时”熄灯活动，3月31日，雷锋塔下一场难忘的篝火晚会异常美丽，蜡烛摆成“60”字样象征着这美妙的一小时，今年“地球一小时”的活动主题是：每个人心中都有位环保家。

我们曾经这样自豪地歌颂过我们的祖国：地大物博，山河壮丽！大家知道，我国是当今世界上最大的发展中国家，人口数量极为庞大。温家宝总理曾提出了这样寓意深刻的乘除法：“多么小的问题，乘以13亿，都会变得很大，多么大的经济总量，除以13亿，都会变得很小。”举个例子，我国淡水总量为28000亿立方米，这本来就不富有，除以13亿之后，人均淡水资源更是只有2200立方米，仅为世界平均水平的四分之一！生机勃勃的森林是非常富饶的，有“地球之肺”的美誉，但是我国的人均森林面积位于世界120位之后，而现在更是以每年1800万公顷以上的速度急剧减少。森林的减少，使得气候变坏，水土流失严重。原先被誉为中华母亲河的黄河变成了一个十足的“暴脾气”。

老师们，同学们，面对日益恶化的环境，为了人类的可持续发展，为了美丽的地球家园，我们该做些什么呢？

我们要节约每一滴水。记得随手关好水龙头，不要以为水笼头滴几滴水算不了什么，一个水笼头每秒钟滴一滴水，一年就是白白流掉36方水。我们要积极寻找生活中节水的“金点子”：比如把洗菜的水用来浇花、涮拖把、冲厕所等等，加以循环利用。

我们要节约每一度电。随手关灯，合理使用空调，寻找节电小常识，并尝试着去实践。积极使用太阳能、风力发电、潮汐发电等清洁能源。我们要节约每一张纸。要做到作业纸双面使用，多用手帕，少用纸巾。假如我们每人每天节约一张纸，全国一年可以节约4745亿张纸，一年可以少砍伐158。1666万棵树。从这个意义上来说，节约用纸，也就是制造森林。

我们要倡导绿色出行。汽车排放的尾气中含有大量的二氧化碳，会使地球产生“温室效应”。少开一天汽车，多骑一天自行车，既能使空气更清新，又能使我们的身体得到锻炼。

我们要推广使用环保袋。因为塑料袋的焚烧会产生很多的毒气，污染大气，而且不容易降解，会破坏我们的土地，所以我们要尽量减少“白色污染”。

节约资源、保护环境，需要每一个人的力量，同学们，让我们行动起来，做一名节约资源，珍爱地球的环保小卫士！
