    The document discusses the need for governments to take a leading role in encouraging environmentally sustainable lifestyles and addressing climate change. It argues that while individual actions are helpful, they are not enough to solve this global crisis. The government should implement policies like carbon taxes on large polluters and strictly enforce participation in events like Earth Hour to reduce energy consumption. Raising public awareness of eco-friendly products through advertising can also motivate citizens to adopt more sustainable behaviors. Strong government leadership and policy changes are urgently needed, as political declarations alone no longer satisfy demands from the public and scientists for bold climate action.

    CAS- Extemporaneous Speech

    Good morning! The sunshine is bright and gorgeous but it's hot
    and not warm, right? It's piercing right on our skin. Our sunblock is
    hanging just right and I have to retouch my make up over and over
    again. Now, speaking of cosmetics, are your cosmetics eco-friendly?
    Did you check the label? Some of us, checked and some of us didn't
    checked it. However, despite checking it and finding out the product
    I'm using is not eco-friendly, I cannot quickly change to another
    product because it's the only brand of product that I can afford. Have
    you ever brought a reusable tote bag to the grocery store? Or refilled a
    water bottle rather than buy a disposable one? Do you separate your
    recycling from your trash? If you answered yes to any of those
    questions, you’re not alone. Yes! Some individuals have taken actions
    to preserve our earth. But will individual actions be enough to address
    the massive, transnational challenge of climate change? Unfortunately,
    no.

    Now, let my ask you a question,"Should people be encouraged


    by the government to always maintain a sustainable and
    environmentally-friendly lifestyle?" My answer is yes, people should be
    encouraged by the government to always maintain a sustainable and
    environmentally friendly lifestyle however individual efforts are not
    sufficient to end this climate crisis. The government is established to
    lead the people, thus this imply that they should take actions
    regarding how to implement rules that will benefit the earth, not that
    they are the ones who are patronizing capitalism and exploit the
    natural resources for profit. Nearly all experts concur that
    governments, not people or firms in the private sector, must take the
    lead in the battle against climate change.

    You see, we are suffering the impact of climate change and we


    are encouraged to maintain a sustainable and environmentally friendly
    lifestyle when we cannot even afford to buy eco-friendly products
    because it's too expensive. We tend to just use the products that are
    affordable because the capitalism takes advantage of this climate crisis
    way too much that middle and low class people have no choice but to
    swallow it. The government can encourage the people to live an
    environmentally friendly lifestyle by starting the change. The
    government should implement carbon taxes. Carbon taxes attempt to
    minimize those emissions by requiring the largest greenhouse gas
    producers—for instance, coal-fired power plants—to pay for the
    damage they cause.

    Every citizen should participate in earth hour or earth day and


    the government should strictly implement this in order in order to
    consume energy. Furthermore, the government should raise more
    awareness and knowledge about using sustainable and eco-friendly
    products so that citizens will be inspired or motivated to do so. Just for
    instance, advertise eco-friendly products on television, radio or social
    media in order to reach more people.

    Political declarations no longer satisfy the public. Government


    trust in climate change is poor. People demand action. We must
    change the way we tackle the climate crisis. Sustainability is now
    recognized as more than a passing fad. Scientists from all across the
    world have demonstrated to us the startling realities and the issues we
    will soon be confronting. Our current approach is too slow and risks a
    catastrophic failure to meet climate targets. Moreover, people are no
    longer satisfied with political pronouncements. They demand action.
    We demand action and change! Every human on this planet, should
    stand up and make an action.
