爱护环境英文演讲稿：自然是我们的母亲

爱护环境英文演讲稿：自然是我们的母亲 <br />let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, if not all, of those present here today. <br />　　mum, im sorry, but i need 3,000 yuan for my tuition this year. <br />　　mum, it is my friends birthday tomorrow, i must buy her a present. <br />　　mum, this jacket was out of fashion long ago, would you do me a favor? <br />　　take. the relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern. <br />　　i know my mother is always there for me, providing me with everything i need; from food to clothing, from tuition to pocket money. <br />　　i never thought twice about all she did until one day she said, will there be a time that youll say you have taken enough from me? <br />　　like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been continually demanding what we desire from nature. <br />　　we enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation. <br />　　we take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources. <br />　　we appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes. <br />　　our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth. <br />　　as we tragically learned from last summers floods. <br />　　we cannot continue our carelessness. <br />　　finally, standing here at the threshold of the 21st century, we cannot help thinking of our posterity. <br />　　nature is not only the mother of the present generation, but also the mother of the generations to come. <br />　　how severely our descendents will criticize us if we leave them a barren and lifeless mother? how much more they will appreciate us if we give them a world of harmony to inherit? let us start respecting and caring for nature from now on. <br />　　let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature right from this moment. <br />　　with this new start, i firmly believe, that our children, and our childrens children will live in a brand new age of green trees, clean air, crystal water, blue sky and an even more promising world! <br />
