GOOD DAY! Students, Good Morning Sir/ Ma’am We are the YES-O officers that are
ALLentrusted with Advocating about our Environment over you guys, I’m (YOUR NAME) …
(INTRO)
And We Are the YES-O Officers
Youth for Environment in School Organization, or YES-O, is a co-curricular environmental
group1 in basic education that provides an opportunity for students to take initiative and
Student
participate in movements aimed at preserving the environment for future generations.
We all know that our environment consists of all living beings as well as their surroundings.
A healthy environment is one that is sustainable for a long time. It is the source of life for
everyone.
Student 2 It directs the life of everyone and determines proper growth and development.
The good or bad quality of our life is depending on the quality of our natural environment.
Our need for food, water, shelter, and other things depends on the environment around
us. There
Student 3 must be a balanced natural cycle that exists between the environment and the
lives of human beings, plants, and animals. Human society is playing a vital role in
degenerating the natural environment which is affecting badly the lives on our planet.

Environmental Issues

There are many harmful effects of human activities on the environment. Some of these are
pollution,
Student 1 overpopulation, waste disposal, climate change, global warming, and the

greenhouse effect, etc. The big reason that poses a serious threat to our environment is
the harmful gases in the air.

The uncontrolled burning of plastics and non-plastics has increased their effects, which in
emit2harmful gases like Carbon monoxide. Electronic appliances like air conditioners and
Student
refrigerators also contaminate air by the discharge of harmful substances. The diverse
effect of these gases is causing air pollution as well as global warming.

Deforestation is another major reason. The human population is increasing at a fast rate

Student 3
and therefore to meet their daily consumption we need to cut forests and trees. It may be
for home or fuel, but we are causing a great loss to the environment.
 Other factors are the depletion of natural resources like water, fuel, and food. On the
other hand over-consumption of resources by humans and improper waste disposal have
Student 1
resulted in a huge quantity of solid and hazardous wastes. These wastes are other threats
to the environment.

Solutions to the Problems of our Environment

Due to all the above human activities, our planet has reached unsustainable levels.
Student 2
Therefore, it is our duty and responsibility to lower the loss. Every individual can play a
significant role in this solution.

For example, we should take a pledge in ‘NO BURNING’ and to segregate it into 3Rs REUSE,
RECYCLE, AND REDUCE.

Every classroom should know how to Conserve Resources like closing all power after
Student 3
classes, not wasting water, and more. Tree planting is also very important for the
restoration of damaged habitats and the increase of resources. Also, awareness programs
should be organized so that everyone knows the cause and effect of our environment
deteriorating, and most importantly the solutions.

Conclusion

In the end, we want to say that we must spread environmental awareness in our society as
well as in our daily routine life. It is necessary to save and protect our environment. In our
view,1 it is the responsibility of everyone to do our bit for the environment. Therefore, let
Student
us work together toward a greener and more sustainable future.

We will leave you with a quote

ALL
“THE GREATEST THREAT TO OUR PLANET IS THE BELIEF OF SOMEONE ELSE SAVING IT, SO
WHY BELIEVE WHEN YOU CAN BE THAT SOMEONE”

THANK YOU
