高中生英语演讲稿 save the earth, save ourselves

Hello!Everybody.l’m # from #.l’m glad to have a chance today to stand here to give you a speech. My topic is save the earth, save ourselves.
l’m sure everyone here, like me, have a very happy life. We have big houses, beautifully decorated rooms. We wear smart clothes. Wherever we go, we sit in comfortable cars. But what cost have we paid for such a wonderful life? Maybe few people give it a serious thought. Will the future generations be able to enjoy so good a life as ours or even better? l’m afraid not.
Today nearly all the convenience of our life is at the cost of our environment. Look around here, how many resources have been used in order to make this beautiful room. The trees are being cut down, the forest is shrinking. On my way to and from school,we can see cars, buses and motorcycles crowed in the street. They are producing large quautities of waste gas. When you go past a river, maybe you litter a rubbish in it casually. But can you imgine that the river is crying, you are huring it seriously. That’s only some parts in our daily life. There are so many disasters recently, such as drought, flooding, earthquake. These are all the signs that the earth make to us. lt’s high time for us to do something for the earth, and to do something for ourselves.
But saving the earth is not as easy as we think. We have a long to go. We all know that the government is taking some measures in some parts, of course, we have duty to follow then.
But as to us, shouldn’t we do something more useful and practicable to protect the environment.
So here are some tips.
As we all know, the 3R is very popular in our life now. lt means reduce,reuse and recycle. We can do from the basic of waste. That’s to say, we can reduce the production of waste. And reuse and recycle them as much as we can. For example, the material waste, nearly all of them can be recycled and reused. And maybe the waste water in our home, we can use it to wash the close-stool. Perhaps you don’t care such little water, but we must know, that’s a kind of way to be green, and a kind of way to realize the 3R. So that is, don’t waste anything we needn’t waste.
Don’t go out by cars as far as possible. Just now, l have given you some pictures about the traffic jams. Do you notice that the air is being polluted seriously? What we can do instantly is that not go out by cars as far as possible. Because l think prevent is better than cure. Why not consider going out by bike or even on foot. Maybe it will be a healthier, a happier way to ourselves. Slow down your steps, Breathe the pure air, shouldn’t it be wonderful?
And of course there are some other, many tips, let us take a look, such as Wash your clothes in cold water, Lower the indoor temperature, Insulate your water heater, water pipes, Use the cotton handkerchief and so on .
As long as you have a heart to protect our home---the earth. There are always many things can do in our dailylife. They are all our bits. I think we must, we have to, and we can do our bits, as long as we are careful enough, loving enough. I’m sure, we will make a big difference to the life on the earth.
We will have a beautiful earth, a better future. I think we can do it, to save the earth, to save ourselves.
That’s all. Thank you for your attention!
