I need fast facts on the environment as soon as possible for my speech.?

Question

ok im trying to get people in my skwl 2 actually take notice of the problems affecting the environment and make thm care. the thing is that im new to this myself and dont really knw that much abt it. something to make them listen. thanx.

Answer 1

Dont just tell them, but SHOW them how important the environment is. Talk about the consequences, make a powerpoint presentation, slideshow, poster or bring in something that displays how we are detroying the environment.

Use really powerful words, and try to link the people you are talking to, to your speech and how it will affect them in areas they care about.

Also, if your school doesn't already have it, suggest making an environment committe, getting recyclling bins in every classroom, purchasing watering tanks, encouraging people to turn off computer monitors, turn of fthe lights when they are not really in use, insulating classrooms, planting trees, being active on clean up australia day... etc

Heres a link of some other environmentally friendly optiosn you could explore:

Hope this helps

Looks like you have you eyes open. Can’t say that about to many people in society today. Most of us walk around with blinders until a catastrophe hits, then we wake up pretty quick. Unfortunately we go blind again a few months later…

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint. I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

We definitely didn't start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

It’s pretty easy to see the results..

Melting ice sheets & glaciers

Floods & droughts

Great hurricanes & cyclones

Seasonal extremes

Seasonal phenomena’s

Species extinction

New & resurgent diseases

There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

Please talk about this problem when discussing the enviroment - Population control.

Answer 4

tell them to think about all the litter they see a day

Answer 5

Make sure you tell them not to litter!

Answer 6

the environment is composed of lots of stuff and junk.  and because we live in this environment, we should care about that stuff and junk . . . respectively.  tell them that.  i'm sure it will invoke the most passionate environmentalist feelings that could be wanted or hoped for.

Answer 7

Life is fun. I remember back in 1968-or something like that- that my mom used hair spray that could be filling off the ozone layer. So I asked her to stop. Not much of a fight-as I remember-but I do remember checking up on her new hair sprays. Now look at me-all grown up and wanting to retrieve those chemicals for the atmosphere.
