致地球所有公民的建议书
地球村的所有公民:
你们好!我们一起生活在地球上,地球,她给了我们美丽的家园和丰富的资源,我么在她温暖的怀抱里生活。但我们却不珍惜为我们提供如此美好生活环境的她,还对她进行了大肆的破坏,这难道不是忘恩负义,恩将仇报吗?
我们来回顾一下历史上对环境污染的重大事件:1952年12月5~8日伦敦发生的煤烟雾事件死伤惨重,死亡人数竟达4000人左右;1990年至1991年期间,被轮船先后泄入大海的宝贵石油达150万吨!碧蓝的海洋被石油污染得面目全非;还有一件十分重大的事件,这个事件不仅造成陆地污染,还造成严重的空气和水资源的污染:150吨剧毒农药爆炸,硫、鳞、汞等排入闻名的莱茵河,附近一带群鱼群虾尸体条条飘浮于水面,瑞士、德国、法国、荷兰四个国家也受到毒物的威胁,损失不可估量。这样重大的环境污染事件还有很多。
以上报告上的个个天文数字,是否都扣着你们的心弦呢?为此我想提几个小建议,希望多多采纳:
一、少开汽车与摩托车。它们,特别是摩托车,能排放大量废气,污染新鲜空气。如果每人都使用汽车与摩托车,试问地球还能有多少新鲜空气?而且它们还能造成交通堵塞。我提议张贴宣传自行车的广告,带动大家的决心。骑自行车不仅不会造成污染,还有有益身心的作用。
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,那地球得多浪费多少资源啊!
三、尽量不用塑料袋,遇到白色垃圾需妥当处理。白色垃圾不能被微生物分解,长期埋于土地也会造成一定的污染。
如今,我娇嫩的“地球之花”正在被我们人类摧残着。我恳请大家都做一位爱绿护绿的小使者,加入环保的行列中来!

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!
