=Script: Earth Day Presentation=

Part 1: Intro

Derick: This is KIKD's Earth Day presentation and we hope you enjoy it! Ilina: But before we start we will give you some background on Earth Day! Karen: John McConnell was the man who thought of the famous Earth Day. Kentaro: And even though the idea was thought of in 1962, first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970. Karen: Earth day was a day to celebrate the earth and to remind us humans to keep the planet clean. Derick: Now we will start our presentation...

Part 2: Pollutions affect

Derick: Have you ever wondered why car exhaust smells so bad or why sunsets are caused? Ilina: Well there are many reasons for this... Karen: The most common reason is pollution!! Kentaro: Pollution harms both the human body and the animals around them. Derick: Plants are also affected by this terrible process.

Part 3: Plants

Ilina: Ozone molecules block the breathing holes in plants.... Karen: So they can't grow. Kentaro: OMG!! Plants are very important to us! They supply us with oxygen! Karen: If we don't help them we will die!

Part 4: Animals and Humans

Derick: Pollution can cause many human diseases.. Ilina: Including respiratory disease and cardiovascular disease. Karen: Ahem Derick: oh yeah, I forgot....animals are also harmed by pollution. Kentaro: Yes, oil spills in the ocean can kill millions of fish. Derick: Pollution also kills many land animals because it affects their lungs. Karen: How sad!



Part 5:The Sunset!

Ilina: Have you ever wondered what causes the sunset to vary in colors? Karen: Yeah... Kentaro: Why is that? Derick: When ash, soot, etc is injected into the air by various events it changes the color of the sunset, this process is called the Mie Scattering.

Part 6:Buildings

Ilina: Hey guess what? Karen: What? Ilina: If we don't stop polluting then buildings will deteriorate! Derick: Whoa thats freaky. Karen: Yeah, it is. Kentaro: I wonder why buildings will get damaged.... Derick:Hmmmm... Karen: I think acid rain harms buildings by burning the outer material. Ilina: Pollution not only exists outside building but also inside! Kentaro: Really?? Derick: Chemicals in the air inside buildings harm humans as much as pollution harms them outside! Kentaro: What are some of the toxins inside buildings that affect humans? Karen: Well, there is tobacco, heating appliances and vapors.

Part 7: Conclusion

Derick: Well now you know all the horrid things that pollution does. Ilina : And we hope that you help this planet. Karen: For both animal and plants! Kentaro: Together we can Save the Earth! KIKD (all members) : Happy Earth day!
