WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY SPEECH 1

Good morning to the Excellencies, Principal, teachers and my dear friends. My name is … I
study in class … Today, we are here to celebrate a most important day, world environment
day. I will recite a speech on the history of world environment day and its necessity to be
established. I have especially selected this topic because of much importance of it for our
better future.

World environment day is a day especially celebrated to know and solve all the
environmental issues. It is also known as the Environment Day, Eco Day or WED. It is a
great annual event focusing on the issues of environment and trying to solve them
completely. It is being celebrated for years worldwide with lots of creative activities and
enthusiasm to bring positive changes in the environment. It aims to protect the natural
environment forever on the earth for the healthy possibility of life.

It is celebrated annually on 5th of June since 1973 however declared in 1972 by the United
Nations General Assembly during the opening of conference on Human Environment to
raise the global awareness about declining condition of the environment as well as tell
people about the importance of healthy and green environment on earth. The annual
celebration of it depends on the particular theme of the year (declared by the UN) which
focuses on implementing some new and effective plans to save the environment.

This event is celebrated globally in more than 100 countries because this issue cannot be
solved individually by one country. It is a global issue and needs to be solved globally by
the involvement of all the countries worldwide. It is run by the United Nations Environment
Programme whereas its annual celebration is organized by the different host city every
year declared by the United Nations. The host city of this campaign in 2016 was Angola.
First time it was celebrated in 1973 with the theme of “Only one Earth”.

It aims to engage and draw attention of millions of people including political and health
organizations from different countries across the world to make new plans and implement
them accordingly. It is very necessary to address the issues like wastage and losses of food,
increasing global warming, deforestation, pollution, industrialization, etc in order to control
the negative environmental changes. Its celebration focuses on carbon neutrality, forest
management, managing greenhouse effect, promoting bio-fuels production, use of hydro-
power to produce electricity, encouraging people to use solar water heaters, use of solar
system, promoting coral reefs and mangroves restoration and other effectives of
environmental preservation.
 Healthy Environment, Happy Future!

Thank You

WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY SPEECH 2

Good morning to the Excellencies, Principal, teachers and my dear friends. My name is … I
study in class … I would like to speech today on the topic world environment day at this
great event. I am very thankful to my class teacher that he has given me the opportunity to
speech at this event. My dear friends, as we all are well aware of this event, we must be
aware about the objectives of world environment day. Today, I will recite a speech focusing
on objectives of the campaign and our own responsibilities regarding environment. Yes
friends, it’s we who can bring better positives changes in the declining environment. So, it is
necessary to discus about this topic among us.

World Environment Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972
to celebrate annually on 5th of June. The objectives of celebrating this event every year are:
 To spread awareness among common public about the environmental issues.

 To encourage people living in society and communities to become active agents

sustainable and eco-friendly development.

 To get global support of people to make it a globally successful campaign.

 To motivate people for cleanliness in the nearby surrounding areas for better start
of this campaign.

Wildlife crime has endangered many animal species whereas some species have been
extinct such as Javan rhino in Vietnam and western black rhinos in Cameroon in 2011.
Great apes have also been disappeared from Gambia, Benin, Burkina Faso, Togo and other
countries. My dear friends, we live on earth, so earth is our first home. Just forget about
your individual home and focus on the joint home which is earth. We should keep it clean,
green and crime free so that environment can nourish us and not bother us forever. I am
sure that if all the human being understand and follow their responsibilities regarding
earth and environment, that day is not so far when all the living beings will be happy under
one roof of healthy environment on this planet.

Save Wildlife, Save Environment!

Thank You.
WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY SPEECH 4
Good morning to the Principal Sir, Sir, Madam, my seniors and my dear colleagues. My
name is … I study in class … and I would like to speech on world environment day – a
campaign made by the UNGA to solve all the environmental issues for safe environment
and better future. My dear friends, we have gathered here to celebrate this great event
today on 5th of June. And, I am very thankful to my class teacher for giving me such a great
opportunity to speech at this event. World environment day is a big day for us which has
been created, to make us realize that what wrong we are doing towards the nature, for our
betterment in future.

The celebration of this campaign in 2016 was based on the special slogan “Go wild for life”
and theme “fight against the illegal trade in wildlife for life” (means zero tolerance for the
illegal trade in wildlife). The special theme was declared this year to focus on the life of wild
animals like orangutans, elephants, gorillas, pangolins, whales, rhinos, sea turtles,
rosewoods, tigers, helmeted hornbills, including other species. This action is taken to
safeguard the species that are under threat for future generations. The increasing rate of
crime in wildlife has damaged the ecosystem balance very seriously which needs urgent
action to reverse it.

Wildlife trade has negatively affected the wild life and some of the animal species are near
to the extinction in many countries. Wildlife traders are loading their purses from many
years but they are emptying the nature’s store. This campaign celebration in 2016 has
aimed to reduce the demand of illegal wildlife products in any field all over the world. It is
our responsibility too that we should actively involve in this campaign to completely
remove the wildlife crime worldwide. This global crime forces us to stand together to stop
the trafficking of wildlife. We should promote the activities regarding solution of
environmental issues through arts, crafts exhibitions, flash mobs, film festivals, social
media, etc. We should be conscious what is going wrong in our environment and try our
best to stop that in nearby areas. Many members of a family work hard to earn money and
run a home. My dear friends, we all are members of a family and live in one home under
one roof that is earth and environment. We should take care of both because our life will
be healthy and safe only when the earth will be green and environment clean.

One Earth, One Environment and One Life; so live it, don’t waste it!

Thank You

SPEECH ON SAVE ENVIRONMENT – 1

Respected Principal, teachers and My Fellow Students! I feel privileged that I have been
given this opportunity of delivering a speech on saving our environment. There is no
reason to doubt that we all owe this responsibility to make our Mother Earth; a cleaner and
safer place to live in.

The all-embracing Mother Earth has bequeathed on human beings some incredibly
beautiful gifts of nature, like we have rivers, mountains, forests and different natural
resources that help us to survive on this planet every single day. Therefore, it’s our turn
now to work towards in saving the environment from the challenges that are posing a
constant threat for the existence of our Mother Earth.

Sadly, there is no part of the earth left that has not been affected by our actions so much
so that our planet’s health – be it in the form of land where we survive and work on, the
ozone layer, the water supply, the wildlife or our species – is being put under constant
threat. The environment we live in is of course not as conducive as it used to be earlier.
There are hordes of chemical industries excreting poisonous chemicals into the rivers and
innumerable vehicles releasing dangerous fumes, people disposing waste in a manner
which isn’t safe for our environment and ruining it.

Though the problem has aggravated to quite a great extent, but it does have a solution. It’s
just that we will have to keep faith in ourselves that we can do something for our planet.

So let’s pledge to “Save our Mother Earth” in whatever ways possible for us.
There are various ways adopting which we can effectively contribute towards the cause.
For instance, we can grow more and more trees in our living surroundings as well as where
we find an empty piece of land. Or if you have a backyard or a piece of land at your home,
then start planting trees. Plants, as we all know, absorb carbon dioxide for the process of
photosynthesis and release oxygen into the environment. The estimation says that a single
tree can soak up to one ton of carbon dioxide till the time it lives. No issues, if you don’t
have much space, you can even keep small tubs of plants in your balcony, doorway or
windows.

Secondly, use less of your personal vehicles and habituate yourself to use public transport
and bicycles for short distances. Besides, do not waste energy at home or office. Switch off
the device, when not in use. Then you can use fluorescent light bulbs in place of normal
bulbs. You may find these bulbs expensive, but trust me they really help in bringing down
our electricity bills and emit 70 percent less heat in comparison to normal bulbs.
You should also use water wisely; turn off the tap immediately after use. Don’t dump the
garbage anywhere and dispose the waste in dustbin. Encourage others too in your family
and at your work place to adopt these measures and save your environment from the
impending doom.

This is all I have to say. Thank You!

SPEECH ON SAVE ENVIRONMENT – 2
Respected Principal, teachers and My Fellow Students! As we have gathered here to
celebrate the ‘World Environment day’, I’ve been given this opportunity to share the
statistics in regards to environment conservation. But before that, I would share my views
and facts about environment.

Our environment is a very crucial part of our lives. It is the main source of living as we get
food, water, air from the environment. In fact, environment is what sustains us and where
we breathe and live every moment. Thus, the quality of our life depends majorly on our
environment.

In order to preserve our environment and make our place a better place to live in for our
next generations,
first, we need to adapt our process of manufacturing and domestic product usage in
harmony with the environment. More of regenerative, reusable and recyclable techniques
must be used in manufacturing units, etc. Advanced countries are more liable contributors
to the Global environmental problems; thus government of such countries and the UNO
(United Nations Organization) must take precautionary measures at a global level. Also,
long term plan and close monitoring of actions of the manufacturing units is required;
youth must be educated to respect and live in harmony with environment rather than
experimenting and exploiting it.
Each one of us must be mindful to protect the environment as global warming is a serious
issue leading to advanced level of environmental pollution which is detrimental to health.
Natural resources and forests must be preserved in order to control drought and flood.
Pesticides must be used in a limited manner and the soil must be saved from
contamination.

The waste of vegetables and fruits can be converted into fertilizers and shouldn’t be
dumped into ponds, etc. By taking care of our small actions like saving drinking water,
usage of jute, cloth, paper bags, recycling the waste products, etc. We can still save our
environment from deteriorating completely.

I hope from now on, we all will implement these measures in our day-to-day lives and do
every bit to protect our environment.

Thank You!

SPEECH ON SAVE ENVIRONMENT – 3

Good morning respected principal, teachers and my dear friends. Our topic for today’s
assembly is ‘Save Environment’.

What is environment? I know we all will have different definition for this single word. In
very simple words, I will address environment as the surroundings in which we humans or
plants and animals live. Now, let’s just think that will we ever like to live in the surroundings
that are bad or unhealthy? No, right..! We always want to live in the surroundings or the
environment that is safe for us and others. An ideal environment is the one that does not
lead to human diseases and extinction of natural resources, plants and animals.
Human beings play a vital role in the conservation of the environment. Good or bad
environment depends on our activities. By our unscrupulous actions, we are contributing
to the degeneration of the natural environment which in turn negatively affects human life
on the planet Earth. All the human actions and activities in this modern world directly
impact the whole ecosystem and environment. We should monitor our actions and ensure
that we restrict our hazardous activities so that environment can be safeguarded. It is our
duty to protect the environment. We should control our activities that threaten our
environment.

Saving environment is not a big task; it is not something that cannot be tackled. We just
need to take a few steps like; save natural resources such as water, energy etc; dispose of
our waste in the correct way and not litter around on roads and public places, etc; grow
more trees, use public vehicles and avoid using personalized vehicles for each member,
controlling industrial waste, etc. Isn’t it simple? Yes, it is. We only need to be cautious and
have control on our actions and we will surely end up at least reducing the bad effects and
doing our part in saving the environment.

To conclude my discussion, I will like to request you all to do your bit and monitor the
activities you perform and also educate others to safeguard their actions and protect
environment. We should promote and contribute to the projects run by the government
and various NGOs that focus on saving the environment. A lot of major environmental
problems would disappear if we all curb the excessive use of petroleum, coal and natural
gas. Let us grow more trees and create all possible ways to dispose off waste correctly. The
focus should entirely shift on renewable and reusable sources of energy. These would help
Save Environment from global warming.

Thank you! Keep spreading the message.

SPEECH ON SAVE ENVIRONMENT – 4

Good morning everyone. I welcome you all to this discussion board. Our topic for today’s
discussion is ‘Save Environment’.

How important do you all think saving environment is? Saving our environment is exactly
saving our lives. The environment is basically the atmosphere, and surrounding
geographical area. Environment is the main source for human beings, plants and animals
to live in and get food from, to eat, to play, to work, to enjoy, to walk, to breath, to hear, to
drink or to overall exist. To run the life in a healthy happy way, we all need a healthy and
natural environment.

We all have the responsibility to monitor the environment and day to day actions that are
being done here. The ecology or environmental balance and natural cycles have become
imbalanced which is very hard to bring back and give it a natural shape. Environmental can
be protected at various levels: individual, organization controlled or governmental levels, to
ensure sustainable development.

Many of the human activities like cutting of trees, industrialization, technological

improvements and so many are leading our environment towards danger and
deterioration and is also keeping lives at risk by influencing the growth, development and
survival of all organisms. Many types of environmental pollution such as water pollution,
air pollution, noise pollution, soil pollution, etc are diminishing the ecosystem and causing
a variety of health hazards, diseases to the human beings and animals. Continuous
imbalanced temperature of the Earth because of the many man-made and natural means
leads to the various natural calamities and hazards causing disturbance to a great extent to
the harmonious existence of human and all other living beings.

We all should be focused on our activities and watch out that none of us adds on to the
reduction of the environment’s quality. We should use the energy, electricity and natural
resources wisely; restrict the usage of vehicles on short distances and emphasize on using
public transport instead of personalized for each member. These are just a few actions that
we human beings should take to safeguard our environment.

To conclude my discussion on saving environment, I know that you all are well aware about
the key aspects to be kept in mind as the cautious human who safeguards the
environment. Every action of ours has a result and consequence, result might be the one
that we desire for but mostly the consequences are the ones that can be classified as good
and bad for our environment. We owe a responsibility to protect the environment by
following those minor activities.

Thank you all for being a part and creating the spark in yourselves for protecting our
mother earth, our environment.

CLEANLINESS SPEECH – 1
Good morning to the sir, madam and my friends. My name is … I study in class … Today, I
will recite a speech on cleanliness. I have especially selected this topic because of much
importance of it in our daily lives. Actually, the means of cleanliness is the complete
absence of dirt, dust, stains, and bad smells at home, working places or surrounding areas.
The most important purpose of maintaining cleanliness is to get health, beauty, remove
offensive odor as well as avoid the spread of dirt and contaminants. We clean our teeth,
clothes, body, hair on daily basis in order to get freshness and achieving cleanliness.

We use variety of products and water to clean different things accordingly. What we see
with our eyes is that, cleaning helps us to remove dirt and bad odour. However, what we
do not see with our eyes is that, cleaning also removes harmful microorganisms (like
bacteria, virus, fungus, algae, etc) from the things. It keeps us healthy and away from
variety of diseases especially caused by the harmful microorganisms. According to the
germ theory of disease, cleaning means the total absence of germs. In some industrial
processes, it requires exceptional cleanliness which is achieved especially in the clean
rooms. Presence of dirt and bad odour may decrease the power of our immune system.

Commonly, there are two types of cleanliness, one is physical cleanliness and another is
internal cleanliness. Physical cleanliness keeps us clean from outside and gives us feeling of
wellbeing with confidence. However, internal cleanliness keeps us mentally peaceful and
away from anxiety. Internal cleanliness means a mind absence of dirty, bad and negative
thinking. Keeping the heart, body and mind clean and peaceful is the complete cleanliness.
However, we also need to keep clean our surrounding areas so that we can live in a healthy
and clean environment. It will keep us away from the epidemic diseases and give us the
feeling of social wellbeing.

There is a very old saying that “cleanliness is next to godliness”. It is well said by the John
Wesley. Cleanliness should be given a priority in all the homes from the childhood so that a
little one can practice it as a habit and can be benefitted all through the life. Cleanliness is
like a good habit which not only benefits a person, however; it benefits the family, society
and country and thus whole planet. It can be developed at any age however best to
practice it from the childhood. I, as a child requesting to all the parents that please help
your kids to practice this habit as it is you who can give this country a good citizen.

Thank You!
