Assalamualaikum
Wr Wb.
With all due
respect to the honorable judges, to mam, and all the audience here, ladies and
gentlemen… Good Morning!!
First of
all, let us thank Allah SWT because of his blessings, we all can gather here on
this sunny morning. Shalawat and prayer, we will say to our greatest prophet
Muhammad SAW, his family, his friends and his followers. Amen.
There is
little doubt that the planet is warming. Over the last century, the planets
temperature has risen by around 1 degree fahrenheit (0.6 of a degree celsius).
The warmest since the mid 1800’s was the 1990s. The hottest years recorded were
1997, 1998, 2001, 2002, 2003.
The United
Nations panel on climate change projects that the global temperatures will rise
3-10 degrees fahrenheit by the century’s end - enough to have the polar caps
all but melted. If the ice caps melt, a vast majority of our countries borders
will be under water. Monuments and great buildings, as well as homes and lives
will be under water, including New York City.
So now we
know what some of the causes are for global warming, how can we as individuals
do our part to help save the planet?
The answer
is simpler than you may think. You don’t have to go miles away from home to
protest, or spend masses of money. If you try to follow the few simple steps
that I shall now give you, you will have started to help us all.
Firstly,
plant a tree. This could be easier than it sounds. Join or help out a local
wildlife group and ask to plant a tree. Trees, when fully grown, will help keep
the planet cooler. On the same point, you could protest against the demolition
of the rainforests. This is the same principle, we need the trees to cool our
planet and yet they are chopping them down to create roads or homes.
Something as
simple as walking instead of taking the car will help reduce pollution. As well
as stopping pollution, you are giving yourself exercise, something important
for our bodies. So the next time you get into your car, or your motorbike,
think - do I have to make this journey by vehicle or can I walk?
When you are
at home, and your getting a little cold. Put a jumper on and do not adjust the
heating. The extra heat produced by our homes also affects the planet. So try
wearing an extra layer in winter.
If possible,
buy your fruit and vegetables from local suppliers. And try to avoid imported
goods. The more foreign food that we import the more pollution from aeroplanes
and boats it will create.
Keeping to
the speed limit can also help the environment. The more you speed the more
petrol you are going to use, making the pollution higher. Also, SUV’s make
about six times their own weight in CO2 each year. A small efficient diesel car
covering the same distance not only uses much less fuel; it makes two thirds
less.
If possible
use solar energy, after all it is free; all you need to buy is the equipment.
You can get much of your hot water and heating from the sun and even generate
electricity.
Reduce,
reuse and recycle. Only buy what you need; don’t stock the cupboards with
things you may or may not use. Reuse whatever you can, like containers and
paper, and recycle what you cannot reuse. It really is as simple as that.
Finally
turning off unused sources of power such as televisions and heaters will help
the environment, as well as save you money.
If everybody
stuck to these rules, we would be doing a great thing by protecting the earth.
So please take into consideration what I have said, and try to do your part.
After all, it will be our next generation that will feel the effects.
I think thas
all
