Examples Of Environmental Persuasive Speech

The Earth is our home, so why don’t we take care of it and preserve it? Most people think that they can’t make a difference as just one individual in a world of over 7 billion people, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Anything from being a vegetarian, which highly reduces the amount of water used and byproduct created when farming animals, to carpooling to school helps combat global warming. By convincing my English class that global warming is an important issue that we are facing today and will face in the future, I hope to get them to take their own initiatives to reduce their footprint on our planet Earth.

A. Attention Getter – The uninhabitable Earth, is what we`ll soon be called. Anticipating what the exact effects will be on mankind and other living organisms on planet Earth is tricky, however, a continuously growing amount of evidence suggest that it will be intense. In its Fifth Assessment Report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group of 1,300 independent scientific experts from countries all over the world under the auspices of the United Nations, concluded there's a more than 95 percent probability that human activities over the past 50 years have warmed our planet.

My central idea for this topic is for my audience to be aware that spending time outdoors is important for the body and mind and helps you relieve stress more so than having not to spend time outdoors. Spending more time outdoors can be done in many ways and it is healthy for your body.

Being as it is, I am a human who has been creating pollution my entire life. The things I’ve done knowingly and unknowingly up to this point have definitely has a negative impact on the earth. Just learning about the harm I’ve caused has made start seriously contemplate my actions and think about changes I can make in my daily life by doing simple things like recycling, consuming less beef, and walking instead of driving. While these things will have minimal impact on my daily life, they could mean the very continued existence of species, as this class has taught

Everyday the world we live in changes. Some of these changes are small while others our impacting our health and futures. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it’s not.” –Dr. Seuss. I can’t think of a better way to say it, especially when talking about the environment. The problem with the environment is not that people don’t care enough to change it; it’s that people aren’t educated enough to know that they need to care to change it. We cannot know what we don’t know; if we don’t know about something we can’t be expected to care to change it.

ou can only have so much good before it is all gone. Resource depletion is the biggest environmental issues known to man. As humans we’re using what we have to live, but we use more than we give out. Through science, we’re finally starting to understand that people are using too much of the resources and altering the face of the earth. If we’re not careful, these problems can’t be fixed.

It was not entirely clear in the reading how efficient these organizations are and what could make them better. One such example of room for improvement was the IPCCs annual report in which critics jumped on some sloppy and scientifically inaccurate findings, which greatly hurts the credibility of the organization and the cause. Also, it is apparent that political leaders will have varying degrees of proficiency in scientific research and may interpret results differently. This was demonstrated by the examples of Bert Bolin’s scrutiny over the types of words used to relay the implications of their findings on whether human activity was responsible for global warming and to what degree. In the “alphabet soup” of organizations and agencies are efforts as coordinated as they could be and how can the scientific communities voice best be heard on the international stage as well as in the individual countries?

As the upcoming generation, I am technologically advanced, knowledgeable, and aware. I am passionate towards the problems I can mend and adamant towards those who've failed to be amended. With this, I'd like to address a nightmare that continues to flourish within our world. This nightmare cab be recognized as the lack of absorption and protection given to our environment.

times and the present day, we must change the way we interact with our environment. Whether

Along with my love for the environment came a pain in watching it suffer around the world as human development encroached onto once untouched regions. I felt powerless and desperate to somehow use my individual influence, no matter how small, to slow the damage to the planet and lessen the impact a growing population was having as we dive deeper for resources.

Imagine a world where animals ran free, trees and grass covered the earth and the only light came from the sun and the stars.

Pollution has become a prevalent issue worldwide and has begun to affect the air used to breathe, the soil used to grow food, and the water used to drink. All of these effects result in commonly occurring destruction of health and wildlife that one may have seen on the news or heard from peers. In order to live, one needs food, water, clothing, and shelter. If the water and food that society consumes gets contaminated, a major component of life has been eradicated, which can only have negative consequences. If more people are educated as to what effects the environment, the world has a chance to counteract the effects of pollution. The main causes of pollution are the burning of fossil fuels such as with car exhausts, littering as a result of societal norms and laziness, and factory waste as a result of lax waste regulation, and can result in mass destruction of the environment and catastrophic effects on the everyday lives of contemporary people.

A. Attention Getter: Over half of the waste that ends up in the landfill does not belong there because it could have been recycled or reused.

Environmental issues have been a cause of a lot of debate in the recent past. Governments and nongovernmental organizations have been in constant consultations on how to help protect the environment. Apparently, as a result of man’s many actions, the natural environment is getting torn apart so quickly that the coming generations will not enjoy this kind of environment, unless a

As a 17-year old teenager going to high school, contrary to the environmental activist, David Suzuki’s, remarks about the ignorance of humans about nature, I receive much information about these kinds of problems at my school, from dedicated assemblies, eco fairs and special days that address our responsibility to deal with nature in a more responsible fashion. Yet, when the school day is over, all of the information seeps out of the roof of the school; plastic water bottles are still found in the corners of hallways and leftover Tim Hortons cups are still present in the desks of my former Business class. Even when I step inside the door of my house, the disconnection from nature is apparent. Most of my time at home is spent looking at a screen and doing homework and the only sign of nature would be the fly
