Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! I’m from the school of economics. It is my honor to be here and give you a speech. Today my topic is “Low carbon life--- A Journey to Cool Our Planet!” The issue of global

warming has been in the spotlight recently and the stage we have built to cope with it has shifted from Copenhagen in 2009 to Cancun in 2010 and to Durban last year. We’ve got some achievements of course, but still we have a long way to go, for the global warming is getting serious.

The global warming speeds up the melting of icebergs in the Polar Regions, which in turn props up the sea levels. I have a chart here that is about some countries and areas that are first to be affected by the rising sea levels. The residents on these small islands are going to lose their homelands in 50 years if we do not take actions to control our carbon emissions right now. But they are innocent people because it is mainly we who live in the other countries that have emitted too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during the periods of industrialization. Therefore, we should take the initiative to lower our carbon emissions and take it as a remedy for the coming disaster.

Apart from the rising sea levels, the global warming is also

deteriorating the global climate. Every year we break our temperature records, whether it is the highest or the lowest and that is affecting

everyone of us. Every year we have fiercer typhoons and stronger snow storms and that is affecting every one of us. Every year we have more frequent floods and droughts and that is affecting every one of us. So by living a low carbon life we are not just saving those on the small islands, we are saving ourselves at the same time!

Therefore, it is urgent for us to start our journey now, because we have only one earth to live. For the government, they should promote the importance of low carbon life with mechanisms such as voluntary non-driving days. For the enterprises, they should renovate their technology in the production of goods to lower the carbon emissions. And for us, the individuals, we should plant more trees and say goodbye to disposable chopsticks and plastic bags.

We can definitely make a difference by our individual and

seemingly trivial actions. Our premier Wen Jiabao once said, a trivial issue time’s 1.3 billion people will be a significant one, not to mention we have more than 6 billion allies around the world. So we are living on the same planet and we are sure to cool the earth by our joint effect! Can we make it! Yes, we can!
