A very good morning I bid to the principal,Pn Halimahton binti Jamal,

senior assistants, teachers and friends,

I am Kamarulzaman bin Ahmad, proudly standing here as the President of

the Environmental Club, and am really honoured to be given this opportunity to
talk to all of you today. In conjunction with the .Love your Environment. campaign,
I would like to talk about the activities to be carried out to show that we love our
environment.

As students, it is our responsibility to keep our environment clean. We play

a vital role in protecting our environment. A lot of waste can be reused such as
bottles, cans, and newspapers. Therefore, every morning we will go around the
school compound and collect all waste materials. Then we must separate
these waste products in different garbage bags. These garbage bags will then be
sent to recycling centres.

The next activity is collecting old newspapers from our home. You are
requested to collect old newspapers and bring them to school every morning.
The collection centre will be the school canteen. There will be someone from the
club who will be in charge of the collection. Please make sure that you tie the
newspapers into bundles before handing them in.
Another activity that will be held is the poster competition. Anyone
interested must register with Lim May May from Form 5 Mulia. The closing date
of submission is the 10th March 2011. The theme of the posters must follow the
theme of our campaign. The first prize winner will get a book voucher of RM200,
the second prize winner will get a book voucher of RM100, and the third prize
winner will receive a book voucher of RM50.

Finally, I wish to give a word of reminder to you all. Please do not litter.
We must avoid the habit of throwing rubbish indiscriminately. We must always
remember that a cleaner environment would ensure a happier and healthier life. I
would like to make an appeal for full cooperation from all parties to make this
campaign a success. With that, thank you.
