Assalamualaikum Wr Wb.

With all due respect to the honorable judges, to the teacher from all SMK Lokman Hakim in Kota Tinggi, and all the audience here, ladies and gentlemen... Good Morning!!

First of all, let us thank Allah SWT because of his blessings, we all can gather here on this sunny morning. Shalawat and prayer, we will say to our greatest prophet Muhammad SAW, his family, his friends and his followers. In this chance, I would like to tell you my speech that has the theme "Go Green!"..

Saving Our Planet is a program that was persuading the earthlings so that they would become more concern and care to their entire environment. It was because the civilization that has been created by the modern people in this millennium era had affected so many destructive impacts which are really needed to be concerned. These impacts are causing a new problem, The "Global Warming". In prediction, that in the last 100 years the temperatures of our planet has increased by 1' every year. Meanwhile, the ocean surface has increased for about 1 meter from its former level. The problem is, modern people not only wanted to increase their prosperity, but also increase their rate of comfortable & luxurious life.

The situation was very different if we looked back to the last century where the pollution, the industrial garbage, and the toxin gases were friendlier. Friendlier, because on the 19th Century the technologies improvement and the consumerism character was not yet significant. Or should we say in this millennium era, the Earth exploitation and exploration were causing the crucial problem for the earthlings.

How crucial the earth environmental problems we face are for example: The protected animals & plants from certain species nearly extinct, the plantation sector is causing another problem for environment & ecosystem, forest logging without reboization, and the impact of mines exploitation that cannot be recycled and maintenance of mine sector, etc. For us, the youth generation is asking to the politicians and the government especially in Indonesia, "Why do those problems I mentioned left uncared without any preventive actions?" In fact, our ex-Minister of Environment of "Orde Baru" era Prof. Dr. Emil Salim has warned and gave us an opinion about will happen on the next 20 years. He said that the situation will be dangerous if there are no actions to prevent this. We need the proactive steps to maintain the nature and to rehabilitee what we have disrupted from every department that is connected with the environmental cases and our community. The example about the impact of human's greed to the nature is The Lapindo Brantas case. That's how the nature shows us their power. There's not even one human could stand against the power of nature. Until now, there are no ways to stop the mud
