Michel Mccaulley: One way to do this is to paint a lush picture in their heads of the environment that you will be talking about. Try using a bunch of descriptive words so the audience feels as though they are there
Darren Heling: Show that we are trying to cure environmental problems due to global warming. We have already reduced hydrocarbons as well as preventing the deforestation of our forests. We are also trying to create alternative energy sources I.e. wind turbines and solar energy. Show the positive side of environments.
Mitzie Clough: Go to the list of recently extinct animals (http://listverse.com/2009/07/25/10-recently-extinc... read out the list. Ask your audience what they all have in common. Then oncentrating on the ones whose habitat has been destroyed rather than the ones hunted to extinction, consider whether we are destroying our own habitat and may join them on the list.For instance "The golden toad, Javan tigers and Baiji River d! olphins all have something in common. They are three species of animal that have become extinct in recent times as the result of man's intervention in their habitat. Their habitats have each been destroyed. There are many more animals which have been hunted out of existence in recent times."From there you could go on to discuss what we are doing around the world to destroy habitat and whether it is time to start giving back instead of always taking from the environment. You could develop this theme, by discussing forestry, mining, land clearing for building, pollutants such as coal fired electricity generation etc etc. For your summary you could say if we don't start caring for the environment we ourselves might end up on the list with the golden toad, the Baiji River dolphins and the Javan tigers. It is time to make that decision....Show more
