HOW TO REDUCE THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL
WARMING
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi
Wabarakatu
First
of all, I would like to say my gratitude to Allah SWT who has given us bless
and health so that we can get together in this place right now.
Today, I will deliver my speech about how
to reduce the effects of global warming.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Imagine
if the land we tread on today will be sunk and become an ocean. I am sure that
there will be no one can survive. Did you know, what is global warming?
Over
the past 150 years, humans have been burning more and more fuel. The fuel is
used to power the vehicles and the factories, and also to generate electricity.
The vehicles and the factories produce carbon dioxide. The extra carbon dioxide
is increasing the green house effect. That’s why the earth is getting warmer.
What is the greenhouse
effect? Some of the gases in the atmosphere, like water vapor and carbon dioxide,
are called greenhouse gases. The green house effect is very important and
useful. If there were no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, all of the things
in this earth will be freeze. But, if the green house effect increases, the
earth will be very hot.
The earth is getting warmer, so now the ice at the North
and South poles is melting. The volume of the water in the ocean rises and can
cause flood in the coastal areas. The other effect of global warming is
changing the earth’s climate, making some places hotter and others colder.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The
global warming is happening now. We can’t stop it quickly, but we can reduce
the effects little by little. I will tell you some ways to save energy and help
to reduce the greenhouse effects.
First, we can save the electricity
at home, at school, and at work. If you turn off light, television, and the
computer when you have finished using them, you save a lot of energy. The second, we can save energy and keep
healthy too, by riding a bike, or walking to school instead of using a motorbike.
I am sure you can. Walk more! The third
is planting trees. Planting trees is fun and a great way to reduce greenhouse
gases. I just remind you, don’t cut down trees in your environment! The fourth is recycling. We can recycle
cans, bottles, plastic bags, and newspapers. When we recycle, we can save the
natural resources, like trees, oil, and metal.
Those
are several ways that we can do to save our environment from global warming
effects. Remind your family, your
friends, and even your teachers to do these things. Saving the environment and
saving the energy means SAVE THE FUTURE!
I
think that’s all my speech for today. Thank you very much for your attention. Once
again I just want to say, STOP GLOBAL WARMING!
Wassalamu alaikum
warahmatullahi wabarakatu.
