Explanation:
Good morning, respected Principal, Headmistress, teachers and my dear friends.
Today, I am going to talk about ‘the role of school children in the preservation and conservation of environment’. Sometimes we are overwhelmed by the extent of damage humans have caused to the environment and I am not sure if an individual can make any impact. But I am sure we the children can certainly take little steps towards improving our environment.
We should attempt to reduce waste before it becomes waste. We should avoid wastage of paper by using it on both sides.
We should try our best to conserve the existing resources so that they do not get exhausted. We should not waste water while taking a bath and most certainly we can take a shorter bath.
Non-toxic cleaners should be used at home which are environment friendly.
We should always turn electrical switches off when not in use, especially personal computers and electronics which can consume a lot of energy. We should use energy saving light bulbs.
We should use carpools instead of taking individual cars to common destinations.
We should reduce the use of petroleum based products like plastics. We should use biodegradable products.
And last, but not the least, grow more and more trees in and around your house and spread awareness about environmental issues.
In the end I would like to say that “a small step taken today will become a giant leap tomorrow”. It will go a long way in preserving and conserving the environment.
