In Your Own Words(blog prompt)

A recent nationwide survey done in Singapore has reveled that primary school students have a nonchalant attitude towards environmental issues. You are the president of the Activist's' Club in Singapore and have been invited to make a speech to educate and inspire the young ones to make a difference in their lifestyles and choices.

Good morning boys and girls. As all of you know, Mother Earth has been greatly affected for the past few decades because of our neglect. Problems include global warming and air pollution. Thus, now is the time to save the Earth.

Many of you would not be bothered about this fact or think that doing your part to save the environment would cause your friends to think of you as a good-two-shoes type of person. But, there is nothing to be ashamed of. The only time you will feel ashamed is a few decades later, when you think, " I could have avoided all of this if I did my part to save the environment before."Another point I want to stress is that we all live on the same planet. Thus, a few people's negligence could cause the world suffer. A good example would be in China. It is one of the countries worst hit by air pollution. This is because there are selfish people out there who only care about making money. They think," I won't live long enough to see the bad things happen anyway." It is precisely this kind of attitude that will lead to the Earth's downfall.

Thus, start making a change. Simple things that you do in everyday life will help to save the Earth. For example, recycle whenever you can. Always bring a container along when you want to buy takeaway food. Only turn on your air-conditioners when the heat is really unbearable.

With this, I end my speech. Thank you all for your kind attention.
