ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TOWN

Good morning ladies and gentlment,
First for all, let us praise to Almighty Allah SWT for his blessing that enable us
together here. Before to I deliver my speech to the honorable my lecturer, Mr. Janness and
to all my beloved friends. In this occasion, I would like to deliver my speech for you about
Environmentally Friendly Town
Ladies and gentlment,
City is phenomenon has become magnet for villagers to migrate. They are motivated
to develop technology, business, and government services to get to the higher level of life.
Nowadays, half of populations in the world are living in big cities and the number keeps
increasing significantly every year. Urbanization is acceptable as long as the people who
migrate are equipped with skills to achieve a decent living. However, high number of
urbanization risks population density, as it increases slum areas, carbon emission, waste and
the other consequences. Not to mention the citys limited capacity of environment that also
affects social welfare.
Now is the time to build smart and environmentally friendly city. Smart city will
compete giving the best service to the public and companies in the regions aiming to improve
economy competition, preserve the environment and build a civil society and harmonized life
have become targets of everybody who wants to live decently. And the factors make a city
eco-friendly would help us in making our cities clean and green. The first factor, green
roofing to guarantee us a greener world. Green roofing essentially involves covering the roof
of building, partially or completely with vegetation or planting a growing medium over a
waterproof membrane. These living roofs help to combat the heat island effect by absorbing
rainwater and lowering urban air temperature. They also provide insulation against heat and
create healthy habitat for wildlife.
Second, pack your city with parks to go green. A city, abundant in parks, is definitely
a charming sight. Parks expel enormous amounts of oxygen which is vital for our existence.
They also cool down the temperature of the city drastically and promote rainfall. A green
canopy always makes a city, a riveting sight. And another factor, incorporating bicycle lanes
in traffic routes, replacing halogens by solar panels as streetlights, using wind turbines as a
source of electrical power generation these are treads in our travel towards a greener world
and make environmentally friendly town.
The cities we live in are the microcosms of mundane existence yet play a vital role in
our eco-orientation. By proper redesigning and restructuring, a city can turn eco-friendly,
saving millions of lives. And cities should be encouraged to become sustainable, green cities.
Spatial plans must be friendly and environmentally sensitive and accommodate an adequate
proportion of urban green space. Urban infrastructure development must be directed into
green urban infrastructure.
Finally, I hope we always to protect the our city environment, we can start from the
smallest things such as planting trees around the house. When every person in Indonesia
plants a tree in the backyard, this country will have a very good environment in the next five
years. The fresh air and the rivers flowing can certainly be easy to see and Indonesia will
never lose its best environment. I think thats all, thank you for your attention.
