Good morning, everyone.

Today, I am very pleased to speak to

all of you about our environment. The topic of my speech is Lets
reduce our carbon footprint.
Over the last one hundred and fifty years, our environment has
been destroyed at an alarming rate. o you kno! that all of us are
responsible for air pollution"
Our carbon footprint refers to ho! much carbon dio#ide our
lifestyle produces to cause air pollution. $arbon dio#ide is a
greenhouse gas, the main pollutant that is !arming earth.
%e need o#ygen to breathe, but !e are also responsible for the poor air &uality. The
more electricity !e use, the more !e pollute the environment. 'urning fossil fuel is one of the
main causes of air pollution. Open burning, forest fires, spraying pesticides, smoke from
factories and motor vehicles all release harmful to#ic chemicals into the air.
(ir pollution is killing our planet. The earth is !arming up. )olar ice caps in the *orth )ole
and the +outh )ole are melting. The sea level is rising. (nimals are forced to move from their
traditional habitats as the rising temperatures have affected their comfort and food sources.
,ainfall has increased, days are !armer and storms are becoming stronger. $hildren are
getting sick more often because their immune systems are !eaker than adults. They cannot
cope !ith the air pollution. +ymptoms of air pollution include burning eyes and nose, itchy
irritated throat and breathing problems.

To stop global !arming, !e should travel less, recycle more and conserve energy. (ll
these !ould reduce our carbon footprint. )lanet -arth !ill soon be unsuitable for living unless
!e all reduce pollution. +o lets save our planet by reducing our carbon footprint.
Thank you
