Environment (Choral Speaking Script) A very good morning we bid to The Honourable judges, ladies and gentleman We,

teacher trainee from IPG Raja Melewar, For the first time, will entertain you with Our tales of environmental issues

Hmm, sounds familiar, huh? Like an old issue But its an issue not to be taken for granted See, touch, smell, taste and feel it around you We all know what is going on

Sad, sad, sad, very sad, What about the future generations? Hmm...

Dont you think its getting hot in here? I do! I do! I do! We all do! But why? Its definitely the weather Global warming for sure

How warm is the globe? The temperature never ceased to rise for the past centuries Yes, it has gotten everyone on earth talking about it I worry about the climate change, the ice is melting worldwide

As the ice melts, the sea level rises too It has become faster over the last century Floods and droughts will become more common Hurricanes and storms are likely to become stronger It has something to do with the greenhouse effect We should stop producing greenhouse gasses How? Stop open burning Use less air-conditioning Car pooling Walking and biking instead of driving Less driving means fewer emissions Checkout for mass transit system too But we dont have that here! Oh yeah, youre right! Too bad ...

Climate change sure sounds serious Cant imagine the world is over-heated or wholly covered by water! Oh no! It looks like we are coming to the end of the world! Repent, repent!

(Sound effect: chainsaw and followed by a shout Timber!)

That is the sound of deforestation When will it stop and rob us of our source of life?

How much per tree? Kopi O la... You not scared get caught meh?

Kopi O also ma... dont worry la my friend Karam Singh Walia wont find us here one... (raising one hand) Harapkan pagar, pagar tidak boleh diharap. Hahaha...

Illegal logging obviously has deep impact on every creature Imagine this world without trees! Surely we will suffer and wont survive the heat! Tropical deforestation is responsible for about 20 percent of world greenhouse gas emissions Burning of forest plants releases large amounts of carbon dioxide More carbon dioxide means more hot air trapped in the atmosphere And it increases the temperature Poor animals, where will they live? Many species are becoming extinct As their habitats are destroyed It will be a great loss to the human race

That is why we need to have reserved forest To protect the natural environment I love the refreshing feel of the National Park Once in awhile, we need to escape From the hustle and bustle of the city We should start thinking green So that we have clean water flowing from the river and more picnics to enjoy with our family

Yes, waste no paper Love our forest Dump no rubbish into the water Love our river

Take care of the wildlife Love the animals Yes, love our nature Love ourselves Reduce, reuse, recycle
