Assalamualaikum and a very good morning to the Honourable Judges, dear contestants, teachers and members of the floor. Well from the chorus, I think you can guess my topic. Before I go futher, I would like all of you to recall some incidents around us. It is common to see people or children kicking empty cans, packed drinks and plastic bottles near the street or at their housing compound. More over I think everyone definitely will feel hatred to pass by a hilly rubbish dump or any garbage trucks. Why? It is because of the pungent! Ladies and Gentleman, Recycling should be made part and parcel to every Malaysian in Malaysia is the accurate answer to the situations I have mentioned earlier. I have a few reasons why I said so, My reasons to support this statement are, we can foster attitude as part of being a good citizens, we can reduce our domestic rubbish and we can support environmental campaigns to save and love the environments. Let me explain my first reason why I strongly agree that recycling should be made part and parcel for every Malaysian. As Malaysian we should appreciate and be thankful for what we have gained. Therefore it is part of our responsibility to save guard our country and environment as recycling is part and parcel of good citizenship. We can play significant role to make recycling a succes. Did you know that household produce could be divided into five categories of waste? Sound funny right! Garbage has its own categories? Did you know what do you produce every day at your home can harm our mother nature slowly ? Let me explain to you the household categories are namely paper, glass, plastic metal, natural material which roughly about 70% and another 30% of our rubbish that should not go into our bins but a compost heap included our food leftovers, fruit peels, vegetables trimming and other scraps. Obviously, the greater the variety of wastes the faster it will decompose and become an organic fertilizer. So, as human we should think smart and wholeheartally to save our nature . Ladies and Gentleman,

Normally, the first stage of recycling is ‘sorting’ . This process of sorting is at our homes which makes recycling cheaper than when it is sorted out at recycling centres. Well this is where every Malaysians should play their role as good citizenship. We play our role to sort out our rubbish at home then we leave it to our regular garbage collector. Thus if this part has been implemented by every home, I’m confidently we have helped a lot to save our environment. My second reason why recycling should be part and parcel in every Malaysians in Malaysia because as a good citizenship indirectly we can reduce our domestic rubbish. Through recycling we can save raw materials, some of which are available only through expensive mining process and pollutants. Did you know, for every ton of recycled aluminium prevents extract four tons of bauxite and surprisingly every two tons of plastic recycling saves oil. Well my friend, have you opened your mind to foresee out what the precious benefits of recycling to our life and to our mother nature that had been sick for a long time because of our own activities? Ladies and Gentleman, Here are some effective ways to reduce our household waste, for example stop purchasing items that you do not need anymore. Go for electronis billing, this is the best step to get rid of paper billing and open for e-billing. Then , you can make a compost bin at your home that would serve as natural fertilizer. Next, purchase of quality products and make sure the content of the product are recyclable items.Last but not least, avoid habit of storing things on shelves and in cupboard in the name of keepsakes. They should be given away to a recycling instution towards building a better environment. In addition, the following options for waste reductions programs are some suggested method that work for others. After evaluating your need capabilities and goals you can choose recycling on your own and along with the misson to save the environment. The options are one-time or periodic reuse, continually recycling programs, stationary or mobile collection centers, sponsored waste reduction programs and credit accounts at local recycling centers. So, what are we waiting for ? Grab it before its to late and its is better to take prevention than cure. In conclusion, recycling should be made part and parcel to every Malaysian in Malaysia as it brings more benefits to us and it save our mother nature for centuries. So, take this oppoturnity before we regrets when we realise it is no use anymore. Let consider about it, this world is our 2
home and we are going to live in it for another decades especially our next generations. With this, I end my speech and my final word it is better to act now than never. Thank you.
