SPEECH ON RECYCLING WEEK

Good morning to the Principal, teachers and fellow students.

From Monday, until Friday, we will hold 'Recycling Week' for the first time in
our school. As the Head Prefect, I would like to tell you all about the aims and
activities of this 'Recycling Week'.

Nowadays, we hear so much being said about our environment being


destroyed by the irresponsible actions of humans. Let us do our bit for the
environment this week by changing our attitudes and actions. Instead of littering, let
us view waste from a different perspective. By recycling waste, we can not only
prevent our towns from being turned into dumping grounds, we can also ensure a
systematic utilization of our natural resources.

Let me start by giving you the aims of 'Recycling Week'. By having this
project, we hope that students will develop an awareness of the importance of
conserving and protecting our environment and our natural resources. 'Recycling
Week' is also aimed at educating students on the methods they can use to reduce
waste.

It is our responsibility to take care of the environment. Let us not discard this
responsibility due to ignorance and indifference. Our teachers have planned many
interesting and useful activities. First of all, you are asked to collect used magazines,
aluminium cans and bottles. The class which contributes the most materials will win
a unique trophy which is made entirely out of recycled materials. At the end of the
week, all the materials collected will be sorted out and sent to cash-a-can centers or
recycling plants.

Officers from the Consumer's Association have agreed to give a talk entitled
'Safeguarding the Environment'. The highlight of the week is a visit to a paper-
recycling plant. If you need more information, you can obtain it from the notice on
the school's bulletin board. Those interested in the trip should give their names to
their class teachers.

I hope that 'Recycling Week' will enlighten you on the importance and
benefits of recycling waste. I would like to end by urging everyone to support
'Recycling Week' with your active participation.

Thank you
