Hello boys and girls!I am Matthew Siew, president of the Activist's club.You may know why i am here but i will still tell you. I am here to discuss major environmental issues. The main issue is
GLOBAL WARMING. I am sure many of you have heard about it. It is something like microwaving the world .
Number one Cars:
- believe it or not but with so many cars in Singapore, there are many traffic jams.
- this leads to wastage of oil and air pollution
- this can be solved by riding in the car only when need to,
- you can walk to school if the school is nearby, you can also ride a bus or bicycle.
- Riding a bus reduces the amount of oil per person and is much cheaper
- riding a bicycle cost nothing at oil but remember to observe safety rules.
Air conditioning
- air conditioning releases CFCs into the air
- these disintegrate and form a layer in the air
- the earth warms up bit by bit and the icecaps melt
- you can use a fan instead of the air-conditioner
- using a fan consumes lesser energy and money.
There are many kinds of pollution, one of the most common is air pollution.The air is being polluted by many substances that indirectly come from us.A form of air pollution is the depletion of the ozone layer.The ozone layer is a collection of gasses protecting us from the Sun's ultraviolet rays(UV) rays.
UV rays cause:
- Skin cancer
- Damage to crops and
- Blindness
And these are only the small minority of implications.I hope that you have learn from what i have just said. The earth is our only home and it is fragile. Do your best to protect it.
