This document has the answers to the question on My Messages. This document has the text to the storybook. =DO NOT COPY! GET YOUR OWN!= =Our Marvellous Speech:= We humans do things to our ecosystems and to the environments around us. We change what was there before to something new, which may present as good... or bad. Today, as a speaker of the group Titanium, I will tell you what humans do to ecosystems and what happens when they do it. The topic I'll be talking to you about today is Human Impact on Our Ecosystems and what it's all about. The impact on our ecosystems is basically what humans do to the land and how it helps it or makes it worse. Deforestation and pollution are just two of the many examples of human impact that has a bad effect to the human ecosystem as well as the animal's. One good thing is greenhouse effect but that's only one. Why don't I tell you more about what humans do to ecosystems that affect it in a bad way and how we can solve it?

Humans are a part of the natural environment, but when they make changes, such as constructing a building or even building a whole city in their local ecosystems, they will be more or less affected by those changes. The impacts include: pollution on land, rivers, seas and air; deforestation, where people cut down a large amount of trees, and therefore endangering the flora and fauna species by destroying their habitats; the increase of deserted lands, since when humans try to increase flourishing lands in one area, they must get needed sources from another area; the introduction of introduced species from another ecosystem; interfering with the local fire cycle and increasing the times of bushfires happening; the overwhelming of use of the local natural resources, such as coal, resulting with the decrease of those resources and also the development of climate changes, mostly affected by greenhouse gases.

One main factor that damages our ecosystems is pollution. Pollution can be in the air and may be caused by these major concerns: cigarette smoking, the driving of cars and also big factories that create many things. These all pollute the air by letting off smoke and this leads to something called acid rain. Actual rain and acid rain look the same but acid rain contains all that polluted air and if you drink it, you may get very sick. One other type is water pollution. How does water pollution start, you may ask? Sadly enough, it starts off with scraps of rubbish. Some people do the wrong thing and throw their rubbish in the water, not knowing what they are doing to their environment. This gets the water very dirty and some plants and animals can die from this.

During this speech I have explained the way we humans can affect our environment. I've also explained about the many cons of the human’s existence. On the other hand in our future city we will have many gadgets to help us to go solar and stop wasting the Earth’s natural resources. Like using carbon dioxide for a substitute of fuel and having flying cars that don’t give out any carbon dioxide from the exhaust fumes. Some other examples of saving the Earth from ending we decided that houses would be up in trees to save take less space on the ground, only medical stations and police stations would be located at ground level. The houses in the trees are also made by fireproof material. The whole idea of having houses at ground level will stop us from cutting down trees and increasing the amount of carbon dioxide because we need space. I hope you have learnt something from our speeches thank you for listening.
