Speaker one.

I realize that climate change is already affecting our lives. I also understand that these changes can influence the lives of future generations. I think that if we don't act now, we will leave a much larger problem to our children. But if we all join in to stop, or at least to slow down climate change, we can make its influence on our environment less dramatic.

Speaker two.

Nature. What a great joy and mystery, full of surprises. I love nature for its peacefulness and how it distracts people from their problems. I know you can think it's a cliché, but I do love sunrise and sunset. I love to lie in the grass and watch stars high above in the sky. It is amazing how all plants and animals live in harmony and depend on each other and nature.

Speaker three.

In my view, each of us can do something to change the world for the better. There are many simple things we should all do to prevent environmental disaster. For example, I always try to switch off the computer if I'm not using it at the moment. I never drive to my office, but instead, I use public transport. And I never buy lilies of the valley, because they are endangered plants.

Speaker four.

I never use the lift to get to my flat, which is on the fifth floor. Why? You may ask me? First of all, it's a green thing to do, and I want to be green. So I don't use electricity to go upstairs, and I know it's good for the environment. Every little helps, they say. And then, it is very good for legs, and your head, by the way.

Speaker five.

Nature certainly is a unique thing. For all the talk from journalists, ecologists, environmentalists about humans destroying the planet, I think that we should remember that nature itself is a powerful force, and it is capable of doing a lot of damage on the earth too. We shouldn't forget about volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tsunamis, floods and earthquakes, which bring so much harm to our environment.

Speaker six.

I work for the World Wide Fund for Nature. Our mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which humans will live in harmony with nature. Our work covers many different areas and we have many supporters.
