Caring for Environment　　
Good morning, teachers and classmates：
Today, it is my great honor to be here and talk about environment, I'll try my best! The title of my speech is" Let us protect our environment."
China will never forget the day ,July 13, 2001, on which China succeeded in the bid for the 2008 Olympic Games. Never will China forget the promise that she has made to the whole world---by September 2008, the capital will be turned into a "green city", with the clean air, a pretty environment and a good system, to meet the demands to host the Olympic Games. It's a long way to go, and it's a long long long way to go for us to save the earth.
For China, tourism is one of the most promising industries in the 21st century. It provides people the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth, it has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity.
But on the other hand, tourism has caused many problems on our environment. According to a survey, 22% of nature preserves in china have been damaged as a result of the development of tourism, 11% of natural resources have degenerated.
Imagine you are standing in a forest, birds are flying in the sky and butterflies are dancing in the air; red flowers, green grass are all over the forest. Then one day a strange creature appears, walking on its two hind legs and staring at you. Greatly alarmed, you stop singing and fly away. Since then, more creatures have appeared. They clear the land and cut down trees. As a result, you don't have enough food or shelter. Sadly, you think by yourself, "Maybe it is time for me to go."
I hate to see that the earth environment has changed for the worse during the past few years: Forests are cleared, rivers and lakes polluted, wild animals are driven away and plants are endangered. We should realize that we can no longer stand by and do nothing. Because the nature is the home of human beings.
We must protect our environment, we must put our words into our deeds. First of all. Use as few plastic bags and boxes as possible. When traveling , wherever possible, use public transportation instead of always driving your own car. One more thing, go up and stop it whenever you see anyone doing something harmful to the environment.
So let's shake hands together now as friends and see what we can do to make our one and only home a place of love and happiness. Just think what a wonderful world it will be!
That's all. Thank you very much!
