Good afternoon everyone. My name is Nicole Smith and today I will be talking about ways to look after the environment. My presentation is divided into two parts. First of all, I will talk about why we need to look after our environment. After that I will talk about the good changes that will take place in our life when we look after it. Please feel free to ask questions at the end of the presentation. Now, let’s get started.
As you know, we need air, water and other things to be able to live. In our modern life we use a lot of electricity. We also build many factories. We also make the air contaminated. We throw our rubbish in the sea. We kill a lot of fishes and the much of the water we drink is not fresh because it has a lot of chemicals. These chemicals are harmful to our health. If we don’t look after the environment, we will have many health problems. More and more people will need to go to hospitals or see doctors. Also if we don't look after the environment, many of the birds that are alive today will die out. There will not be many parks or green areas to visit because we cut a lot of trees. We cut trees to make furniture. When we cut trees, we also destroy the places where animals live.
Now let’s move on to the second part of the presentation. It is clear that everyone wants to do something to help the environment. There are different ways to do so. We can drive our cars less. We can recycle our rubbish. We can help clean streets by not throwing rubbish in them. We need to look after the fish in the oceans. We can walk to work and not drive cars. If we need to buy cars, we can choose small ones. Big cars use a lot of petrol. Small cars use less petrol. We can also use public transport. We can turn the light off when we leave a room in the house.
It’s nearly time for me to finish the presentation. I would like to thank you for coming here today. Now if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.
