致地球所有公民的建議書

地球村的所有公民：

你們好！我們一起生活在地球上，地球，她給了我們美麗的家園和豐富的資源，我么在她溫暖的懷抱里生活。但我們卻不珍惜為我們提供如此美好生活環境的她，還對她進行了大肆的破壞，這難道不是忘恩負義，恩將仇報嗎？

我們來回顧一下歷史上對環境污染的重大事件：1952年12月5~8日倫敦發生的煤煙霧事件死傷慘重，死亡人數竟達4000人左右；1990年至1991年期間，被輪船先后泄入大海的寶貴石油達150萬噸！碧藍的海洋被石油污染得面目全非；還有一件十分重大的事件，這個事件不僅造成陸地污染，還造成嚴重的空氣和水資源的污染：150噸劇毒農藥爆炸，硫、鱗、汞等排入聞名的萊茵河，附近一帶群魚群蝦尸體條條飄浮于水面，瑞士、德國、法國、荷蘭四個國家也受到毒物的威脅，損失不可估量。這樣重大的環境污染事件還有很多。

以上報告上的個個天文數字，是否都扣著你們的心弦呢？為此我想提幾個小建議，希望多多采納：

一、少開汽車與摩托車。它們，特別是摩托車，能排放大量廢氣，污染新鮮空氣。如果每人都使用汽車與摩托車，試問地球還能有多少新鮮空氣？而且它們還能造成交通堵塞。我提議張貼宣傳自行車的廣告，帶動大家的決心。騎自行車不僅不會造成污染，還有有益身心的作用。

二、少用一次性物品，全世界有多少人，如果大概大家都用一次性物品，那地球得多浪費多少資源啊！

三、盡量不用塑料袋，遇到白色垃圾需妥當處理。白色垃圾不能被微生物分解，長期埋于土地也會造成一定的污染。

如今，我嬌嫩的“地球之花”正在被我們人類摧殘著。我懇請大家都做一位愛綠護綠的小使者，加入環保的行列中來！

Hello,everyone!My name is Wang Dan.I major in journalism and communication.It’s my honor to be here to make my presentation.Today,my topic is “Earthlings”.It’s a movie that I strongly recommend to you.In fact,I watched a part of it and I dare not to finish it.Because I cried all the time and can’t stand myself anymore.It’s an extremely shocking documentary which costs five years to produce.The three stages of truth:ridicule ,violent opposition and acceptance.In my opinion,ignorance has prevailed so long only because people do not want to find out the truth.“Don't tell me, you'll spoil my dinner”is the usual reply to any attempt to tell someone just how that dinner was produced.But it is not the inability to find out what is going on as much as a desire not to know about facts that may lie heavy on one's conscience that is responsible for this lack of awareness.Emerson once said,You have dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles.There is complicity.The film demonstrates in five ways just how animals have come to serve mankind:1.Pets------(An estimated 25 million animals become homeless every yearand over 6000 pets are euthanized per day.)

2.Food.3.Clothes.4.Entertainment.5.Science.Having the greater power,humans decide when these animals will die,where they will die,and how they will die.One group of living beings anguishes beneath the hands of another.This is what is meant by speciesism.We all inhabit the earth,all of us are considered earthlings.However, it is the human earthlings who tends to dominate the earth,often times treating other fellow earthlings and living beings as mere objects.By analogy with racism and sexism,the term speciesism is a prejudice.In our behavior toward creatures,all men are Nazis.Our clothes comes from slaughtered cows,our entertainment means the suffering and death of millions of animals and some questionable experiments go on in laboratories.They are all die from pain.We are all creatures.And non-human animals are also capable of growth and adaptation.Like us,they are earthlings;like us,they are surviving;like us,they express degrees of emotion.In short,like us,they are alive.Undoubtedly there are differences,since humans and animals are not the same in all respects.But the question of sameness wears another face.Granted, these animals do not have all the desires we humans have;granted, they do not comprehend everything we humans comprehend;nevertheless, we and they do have some of the same desires and do comprehend some of the same things.The desires for food and water,shelter and companionship,freedom of movement and especially avoidance of pain.On the heath, King Lear asked Gloucester:“How do you see the world?”And Gloucester, who is blind, answered:“I see it feelingly”.Three primary life forces exist on this planet:Nature,Animals,and Humankind.We are the Earthlings.Make the connection.Remember,we are the same on earth to share nature.Besides,no trading,no killing!

That’s all.Thank you for your attention!
