Respected principals, dear teachers and my fellows assalaim-o-alaikum and good

morning to all of you.

Today I would like to share my thoughts about the need to save environment.

What is environment? I know we all will have different definition for this single word. In very simple
words, I will address environment as the surroundings in which we humans or plants and animals
live. Now, let’s just think that will we ever like to live in the surroundings that are bad or unhealthy?
No, right..! We always want to live in the surroundings or the environment that is safe for us and
others. An ideal environment is the one that does not lead to human diseases and extinction of
natural resources, plants and animals.

Human beings play a vital role in the conservation of the environment. Good or bad environment
depends on our activities. By our unscrupulous actions, we are contributing to the degeneration of
the natural environment which in turn negatively affects human life on the planet Earth. All the
human actions and activities in this modern world directly impact the whole ecosystem and
environment. We should monitor our actions and ensure that we restrict our hazardous activities so
that environment can be safeguarded.

It is our duty to protect the environment. But today our environment is under threat because of our
deeds and decisions. We are responsible for pollution in the environment. Deforestation, mining,
unjustified usage of machines and electricity, using several vehicles for traveling short distances
etc., are responsible for pollution. Global warming, depletion of natural resources, untimely rains,
cyclones, diseases and life amidst pollution and many more are the traits that show we are living in
an imbalanced environment. Knowing this that we are ruining the surroundings for us as well as
future generation, we should stop right away. We should control our activities that threaten our
environment.

Saving environment is not a big task; it is not something that cannot be tackled. We just need to take
a few steps like; save natural resources such as water, energy etc; dispose of our waste in the
correct way and not litter around on roads and public places, etc; grow more trees, use public
vehicles and avoid using personalized vehicles for each member, controlling industrial waste, etc.
Isn’t it simple? Yes, it is. We only need to be cautious and have control on our actions and we will
surely end up at least reducing the bad effects and doing our part in saving the environment.

To conclude my discussion, I will like to request you all to please do your bit and monitor the
activities you perform and also educate others to safeguard their actions and protect environment.
We should promote and contribute to the projects run by the government and various NGOs that
focus on saving the environment. A lot of major environmental problems would disappear if we all
curb the excessive use of petroleum, coal and natural gas. Let us grow more trees and create all
possible ways to dispose off waste correctly. The focus should entirely shift on renewable and
reusable sources of energy. These would help Save Environment from global warming.

Thank you! Keep spreading the message.
