Good evening fellow students. My speech is about man destroying his environment. How are we destroying environment?

We are cutting down more trees than nature can put back in a lifetime. This not only destroys the delicate balance involving plants and wildlife but also humans as well. The food cycle which is being destroyed will leave many animals in starvation and therefore, extinction.

Man is also polluting the environment. Vehicles on the road are discharging smoke containing carbon particles and lead into the atmosphere. Factories release a lot of poisonous gases into the air. Toxic waste is being dumped into rivers. This causes the death of many sea creatures, so reducing the fish for our intake.

My fellow students, we have to save our planet. We must stop this destruction. And how can we do that? Factories should be stopped from polluting the air by imposing heavy fines on them. Vehicles should use lead-free petrol. Toxic waste must be disposed off properly.

All of us must do our bit to protect the environment. Let us all work together to save the Earth instead of destroying it.
