倡议书英文(精选7篇)
ear classmates,
As we know, some animals are dying out for various reasons. There is no doubt that animals are our friends. With World Animal Day coming near, what should we do to protect animals?
First of all, we should forbid people’s killing animals at random. Second, we should do all we can to protect animals’ living environment. With their living environment destroyed, the animals will become extinct sooner or later. Third, we should try our best to make everyone realize the importance of protecting animals. In a way, protecting animals means protecting ourselves.
Dear classmates, let’s start now and make every effort to protect animals—our good friends!
The celebration of Earth Day on April 22nd began in the United States in 1970 and was the brainchild of Senator Gaylord Nelson, who had long pondered about finding a way to "put the environment into the political 'limelight' once and for all" . Earth Day is a perfect time to reflect about what you are doing to help protect the environment. There are many ways that you can celebrate alone and with others.
1970年,美国的民主党参议员盖洛德·尼尔森提议将每年的4月22日立为“地球日”。他表示自己思虑许久,想找到一种能“一劳永逸地让环境问题走进政治舞台的聚光灯下”的办法。地球日是个适合用来反思“我为保护环境到底做了些啥”的日子。以下是一些推荐可以供你采纳,可以独自一人进行也可以跟别人一起。
1. Plant trees
种树
As the date also roughly coincides with U.S. Arbor Day, over time Earth Day has taken on the role of tree-planting. Planting trees helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, cleans pollution, secures soil in place to prevent erosion, and provides homes for a lot of biodiversity.
地球日距美国的植树节很近,久而久之,地球日已经差不多变成了植树日。多植树能帮助减少温室气体排放、减轻污染、保护土壤免遭腐蚀,并为生物多样化提供良好的环境。
2. Reduce, reuse and recycle all day long
减少浪费、加强回收利用
Buy as little as possible and avoid items that come in lots of packaging. Support local growers and producers of food and products - these don't have to travel as far and so reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Take your drink container with you, and don't use any disposable plates or cutlery. Recycle all the things you do use for the day or find other uses for things that you no longer use. Carry a cloth bag for carrying things in and recycle your plastic bags.
少买些东西吧,尤其是那些包装过度的玩意儿。支持本地产品(无论是食物还是别的)——因为这些东西所需的运输距离短,从而能减少温室气体排放。随身带个水杯,尽量不用一次性餐具。回收利用那些日常生活用品,并为那些不常用的物品发掘新的用途。多用布袋子、回收塑料袋。
3. Rid litter
清扫垃圾
Rid litter from our roadways. Many groups use the weekend of Earth Day to clear roadways, highways and neighborhood streets of litter that has accumulated since the last clean-up day. Many companies donate gloves and bags for clean-up groups and villages organize bag pick ups. Once the group has collected the trash and placed the recycled bags along the road, get the village public works department to pick the bags up. It's a wonderful community project. Great for scout troops, rotary clubs and the like.
清扫马路上的垃圾。很多群体会在地球日的周末集体清扫马路、高速公路以及社区马路,扫除那些自上个清扫日以来堆积成山的垃圾。很多公司会捐赠手套和垃圾袋给清洁团体和村庄,组织收集垃圾。当清洁团体收集好垃圾并将它们堆放在道路两旁后,村庄的公益组织会前来集中收集垃圾袋。这是个非常棒的社区项目,非常适合童子军、扶轮社(译者注:一个历史悠久的全球性公益组织)以及其他类似的公益团体。
4. Sing or listen to "Earth" songs
聆听或唱地球主题歌
There are many Earth Day song lyrics available on the Internet. Many follow well-known tunes. These make a fantastic classroom activity and help younger children to become interested in environmental topics. For listening, iTunes has many songs about the Earth for downloading: try searching for words such as "planet", "Earth", "endangered", "pollution" etc. One example being "Earth Day" by Devin Townsend.
网上充斥着很多与地球日相关的歌曲。它们之中的大部分有着耳熟能详的曲调,是很好的班级活动素材,能帮助孩子们对环保问题产生兴趣。想听的话,可以去iTunes下载:搜索类似“星球”、“地球”、“濒临”、“污染”之类的关键词就行。比方说,加拿大乐队歌手Devin Townsend就有首“地球日” 的歌。
5. Wear green and/or brown
穿绿色或棕色的衣服
Dress in environmental colors for the day; think "tree"! Wear badges if you have them that carry pithy summaries of your environmental views.
地球日当天不妨穿与环境相融的颜色的衣服吧。比如树木一样的绿色!如果有言简意赅的徽章也不妨戴着,正好能表达你对于环保的观点。
6. Engage others in conversations about your environmental concerns
与他人谈论你对环境的看法
Don't be bossy or pushy, just tell people some facts and then explain your feelings about them. Encourage them to respond and if they have no opinions or they seem to not know much, help them learn some more by imparting your environmental knowledge in a friendly and helpful manner.
不需要太专横,也不需要太强求,你只要平静地和他人谈论和环境有关的真相就行,并且加上自己的看法。鼓励人们和你互动吧:即使他们对你的观点没有看法,或根本不了解环保行业,也没关系,只要友好地和他们分享你所知道的环保相关的知识就行,以帮助他们了解更多。
7. Ride your bike
多骑自行车
Use your bicycle or other forms of human powered transportation to commute to work or school and to run errands.
尽量多使用自行车或其他人力的交通工具来上班、上学和办事。
8. Remember: Every day is Earth Day
请记住:每一天都是地球日
Anything to help our environment is a perfect thing to do on Earth Day and every day. Don't restrict yourself to just one day a year; learn about how you can make a difference to environmental protection all the time. And put it into practice - every day!
任何一件能使环境变得更好的事,都是值得在地球日以及任何一天做的事。不要局限于4月22日这一天。学着去把每天都变成保护环境的“地球日”吧,并坚持践行之。
12岁的铃木瑟玟(Severn Suzuki)在1992年里约世界高峰会上,对全世界环境部长发出警语,她的演说简单扼要却直指人心,要求「大人们」对于环保要说到做到,否则就是对下一代的不负责任。
Hello, I’m Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O. – The Environmental Children’s Organisation.
大家好,我是Severn Suzuki,我代表儿童环境组织来此演讲。
We are a group of twelve and thirteen-year-olds from Canada trying to make a difference:Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg and me. We raised all the money ourselves to come six thousand miles to tell you adults you must change your ways. Coming here today, I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future.
我们是一个十三四岁的小群体,我们想改变些什么:Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler, Michelle Quigg和我。我们自己挣钱支持我们来到这里,旅行5000英里只为告诉你们成年人,你们必须改变你们的生活方式。今天我来到这里,我背后没有任何经纪人,我们为我们的未来而战。
Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market. I am here to speak for all generations to come.
失去未来不像落选选举或者股市浮动那么简单,我来到这里是为了将来所有的世代而演讲。
I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard.
我演讲是为了世界所有忍受饥饿的儿童,而他们的哭泣却无人听见。
I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet because they have nowhere left to go. We cannot afford to be not heard.
我为这个行星上无数正在垂死的动物而演讲,因为它们几乎已经无处容身了。
I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the holes in the ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don’t know what chemicals are in it.
我现在害怕晒太阳,因为臭氧层出现了空洞。我现在害怕呼吸空气,因为我不知道那里有多少化学物质。
I used to go fishing in Vancouver with my dad until just a few years ago we found the fish full of cancers. And now we hear about animals and plants going extinct every day — vanishing forever.
以前和我爸爸经常在vancouver钓鱼,但在近几年却发现鱼的身上到处是癌细胞。我们每天都会听说有的动物和植物绝种,那是永远消失的事情。
In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and rainforests full of birds and butterfilies, but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see.
我一生的梦想就是能看到成群的野生动物,茂盛的丛林和大片的雨林中到处是鸟类和蝴蝶在飞舞。但是现在我想知道我们这些小孩是否还能再看到它们?
Did you have to worry about these little things when you were my age?
在您那个年代,您曾经担心过我们现在担心的事吗?
All this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions. I’m only a child and I don’t have all the solutions, but I want you to realise, neither do you!
所有这一切就发生在我们眼前,然而我们还是一直向大自然无度索取我们所需要的。我仅仅是个孩子,我不知道该怎么办。 但我们这些孩子——这个星球的未来需要让您认识到,您不能说没办法!
You don’t know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer. You don’t know how to bring salmon back up a dead stream. You don’t know how to bring back an animal now extinct.And you can’t bring back forests that once grew where there is now desert. If you don’t know how to fix it, please stop breaking it!
您不知道怎么去修补大气的臭氧空洞,您也不知道怎么去从死亡的河流中拯救鱼类,您更不知道如何把灭绝的动物复苏,您也不能把沙漠中从前完整的森林带回来。如果您不知道如何拯救,那么请您停止破坏吧!
Here, you may be delegates of your governments, business people, organisers, reporters or poiticians – but really you are mothers and fathers, brothers and sister, aunts and uncles – and all of you are somebody’s child.
在这里,您可能是您政府商业人士的代表、组织者、记者或政客。但您们也是父亲和母亲、兄弟和姐妹、阿姨和叔叔,你们都会或多或少的为了下一代而活着。
I’m only a child yet I know we are all part of a family, five billion strong, in fact, 30 million species strong and we all share the same air, water and soil — borders and governments will never change that.
我只是一个小孩,但我知道我们都是一个大家庭的成员,超过60亿人的大家庭,以及超过三千万物种的大家庭,政府和国界永远都无法改变这个事实。
I’m only a child yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal.
我身为小孩都知道,我们在地球的母亲怀中都是孩子。我们应该为了相同的目的进行相同的行动!
In my anger, I am not blind, and in my fear, I am not afraid to tell the world how I feel.
然而事实却让我很愤怒,但我也很清醒,我虽然害怕,但我敢于告诉世界我真实的感受。
In my country, we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than enough, we are afraid to lose some of our wealth, afraid to share.
在我的祖国,我们制造了如此之多的垃圾,我们购买商品,我们随之丢弃,买来,再丢弃。然而有些国家,有些人,却不会分享给那些真正需要的人们,甚至他们拥有的远远超过自身需要的时候。他们害怕分享,害怕失去自己的财富。
In Canada, we live the privileged life, with plenty of food, water and shelter — we have watches, bicycles, computers and television sets.
在加拿大,他们过着特权般的生活,他们有很多食物、房子和水。他们拥有很多手表,汽车,各种电器和奢侈品。
Two days ago here in Brazil, we were shocked when we spent some time with some children living on the streets. And this is what one child told us: “I wish I was rich and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes, medicine, shelter and love and affection.”
在巴西,我被2天前见到的情景震惊了,那时我和当地的小孩在玩耍,其中一个小孩说:“我希望我能富裕起来,然后我会给这个街道所有的小孩饭吃,给他们衣服穿,医疗,住房和爱”。
If a child on the street who has nothing, is willing to share, why are we who have everyting still so greedy?
如果一个孩子在自己一无所有的时候都能愿意分享,为什么拥有一切的大人却如此贪婪?
I can’t stop thinking that these children are my age, that it makes a tremendous difference where you are born, that I could be one of those children living in the Favellas of Rio; I could be a child starving in Somalia; a victim of war in the Middle East or a beggar in India.
我永远不能忘记这些和我同龄的孩子,当你出生的时候,他和我们真的很不相同,我也许生活在贫民窟,也可能是终日饿着肚子的小孩,也可能是中东战争的牺牲品,或者印度的小乞丐。
I’m only a child yet I know if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this earth would be!
我只是一个小孩,然而我知道,要是把花在战争上的钱,用在找寻环境问题答案上来,或用在结束贫穷并找到解决的方案上来,这个星球将是个多么美好的地方啊!
At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us to behave in the world. You teach us: not to fight with others, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share – not be greedy.
在学校,甚至在幼稚园,你们大人教我们如何处世,你们告诉我们不要打架,要尊重对方。找出答案,解决矛盾。去分享,而不是贪婪。
Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do?
你们大人为什么去做与你们教导孩子相反的事情呢?
Do not forget why you’re attending these conferences, who you’re doing this for — we are your own children. You are deciding what kind of world we will grow up in. Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying “everyting’s going to be alright” , “we’re doing the best we can” and “it’s not the end of the world”.
不要忘记你们为何而来到这里开会,你们为谁做事情?我们是你们的下一代,你们正在决定我们将要在一个什么样的环境中成长,父母需要能够宽慰孩子们,告诉他们“一切都没问题,那不是世界末日,我们正在尽其所能的改变”。
But I don’t think you can say that to us anymore. Are we even on your list of priorities? My father always says “You are what you do, not what you say.”
但我不能再相信这样的话了,孩子们还是你们的优选名单吗?我爸爸总是说:“听其言,观其行,是认识一个人最好的方法”。
Well, what you do makes me cry at night. You grown ups say you love us. I challenge you, please make your actions reflect your words. Thank you for listening
然而,你们所做的事让我在夜晚哭泣,你们成年人说你们爱我们,我不会再相信了,因为只有行动和语言的合一,才是找回信任和未来的唯一方法!谢谢!
In the context of global warming, low carbon economy based on low energy consumption and low pollution has become a global hot spot. Energy saving and emission reduction is imperative. Low carbon development has gradually become an inevitable trend of social development. Low carbon life is not only an attitude, an obligation, but also a responsibility. To reduce carbon emissions, not only is the international and national things, for our living environment is the rapid deterioration in every place, every department, every one of us should take positive action, actively promote and to practice low-carbon life. We should start with the following points:
1., save electricity, close the classroom lights, electric fans, computers and multimedia, save every kilowatt hour. When using the computer, turn off the unused computer program to save electricity. When you do not use the computer for a short time, you can activate the "sleep" mode of the computer. The energy consumption can be reduced to less than 50%, and the power-saving effect is good.

"From now on, let's try our best to save energy and protect the environment." we will try our best to do more and more effort". Let every one of us become the advocates of low carbon life, become a communicator of low-carbon ideas, and join hands to build our new green low-carbon homes!
Dear teachers, dear students:
The trees are dark, the flowers are fresh, the air is clean, and the ground is clean. This is the campus environment that everyone loves. But in the campus, many people have let the doings is very sad: in the classroom, on small pieces of paper on the playground, waving a contemptuous disregard; all kinds of garbage ignored; toilet, people turn a blind eye to sewage and dirt; the faucet, water flows have gone
Therefore, the school launched the campus environmental protection activities in September, and solemnly issued the following initiatives to all teachers and students of the school:
1., water conservation: after running out of water, turn off the tap in time; see the dripping faucet, tighten in time. Avoid large faucets and avoid excessive use of detergents. Domestic water, one water multi-purpose.

Students:
In recent years, climate change is a major challenge facing the world today, the middle school low carbon environmental protection initiative. Curbing climate warming is a common mission for all mankind. For you and for me and for him, but also for the survival of our earth family, but also for a better life tomorrow, as a middle school student, we should take positive action to curb global warming. To this end, I have issued to all students "low-carbon life, we act" initiative, called on all students to do so:
1, carry forward the traditional virtues of thrift and economy, stop waste and avoid waste of food;
2, use less disposable chopsticks, paper cups, plastic bags and other disposable items, usually bring bottle, drink bottled water, reduce waste discharge;
3, less use paper towels, use handkerchiefs. Repeated use of paper promotes double-sided use and reduces paper consumption;
4, save electricity, shut the lamp, computer, TV, air conditioning, immediately unplug the plug, do people stop walking, in natural light is better, to minimize the use of lighting, avoid the "long light".
5, cherish every drop of water, rational use of water resources. After running out of water, turn off the valve conveniently. If the faucet is dripping or damaged, report it to the school teacher.
6, love flowers and trees, not picking, do not trample on the flowers do not litter, every tree and bush, readily pick up trash, maintaining green environment;
7, protect and use good textbooks to achieve the "green cycle" of the textbook.
8, do "energy-saving emission reduction" propaganda, and vigorously to the family and around the publicity and popularization of low-carbon knowledge, so that more people to join the "low carbon life" team.
Students, energy-saving emission reduction, low-carbon life, we can do it. Maybe it will make our life less convenient, but it can lighten the burden on the earth we live on, and help us to form a healthy lifestyle and peace of mind. Let us start from ourselves, start from a little bit, be an advocate, propagandist and practitioner of low carbon life, and join hands to build our green, low-carbon and beautiful home.
