Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. It's my great honor to be elected as the chairman of the Green Earth Society. Words cannot express how much I appreciate this honor. Thank you all for your support and for your confidence in me. As I take this position, I'll do my best, together with all our volunteer members of this organization to promote environmental protection locally and globally, and to make more and more people become eco-conscious. "Why should I be eco-conscious?" you ask. There is a very simple reason. We live on one earth, and this is the only place we can live right now. We can't live in space. We don't have the food growing capacity out there yet for lots of people to survive. If we treat the earth like the city dump, it becomes dirty and unlivable. If we treat it well by being eco-conscious, the earth stays a clean place, perfect for living for ourselves and for our children. We are now living in a highly industrialized world. The expanding industries are providing us with more and more convenience and comfort, but I want to remind you that owing to over development of natural resources, our earth is facing a disaster. Our air is being poisoned everyday by car fuels. Our ocean is polluted with toxic¹ wastes. And out beautiful rainforests are being destroyed. We all moan and groan² about the loss of the quality of life through the destruction of our ecology, and yet each one of us, in our own little comfortable ways, contributes daily to that destruction. It's time now to awaken³, in each one of us, the respect and attention our beloved mother deserves. So, I ask all of you present to join hands in finding ways the earth a better place to live. Let's work hard to improve our society. Ask not what our society can do for you; ask what you can do for our society. I sincerely hope that with our joined effort, we will start our days differently. We wake up in the morning with the sun shining, trees bursting with strength, and flowers smiling at us. And when I say this, I know I speak for every human resident on this planet. Thank you for your support and effort. Your contribution means a great deal, not only to this organization, but also to the whole world. Finally, I wish you the best luck in everything you do.
