Everyone's Responsibility to the Environment
By Yiler Huang
Yesterday, Mr.Cheng from EQPF came here again to introduce more things about environment. He was talking about the whose responsibility is environment protection, and he also talk about the strange relationship between politics and environment. I think the things he said are important to the environment, because this could affect our life and the place we live in.
At first, Mr.Cheng talked about what is politic. He said that politic means things about managing people, And people has lots of meanings. The meaning of “people” depends on how different people think about this word. But the important part is that “ do the people who in future has the same right as us?” The result is: the people live in future have the same right as us, so we should give them a good environment.
For letting people know the relation between people now and people in future, we must now how the politics work with environment. So, Mr.Cheng talked about political ecology and ecological politic. The first one means consider about balancing the politic with environment first, then care about the environment. The another one means consider about environment first, then think about the political things. The reason why we talked about this is because we need to pity the environment more instead of thinking like a robot.
The reason why we need to pity the environment more is because of “politic does not serve environment.” So we should pity the environment and get rights and help for them, because environment doesn't talk. For pitying the environment, we need to know the environment more first, cause it is hard to pity a thing that you don't know a lot. So Mr.Cheng talked lots of things about the algal reef, and that's the most things I learned in this speech.
At last, I hope everyone who can vote should search about this, and vote for your self. Because it's your chance to protect environment or tell others your thought by voting. Because everyone's thought is important, so we must tell others our thought.
每個人對環境的責任
昨天，EQPF的鄭先生又來跟大家介紹更多關於環境的事。這次的主題是保護環境是誰的責任，他也談到了政治與環境之間的微妙關係。我認為他的分享對環境很重要，因為這可能會影響我們的生活和我們居住的地方。
一開始，他介紹的是什麼是政治。他說，政治是指管理人的事情，而人有很多含義。 「人」的含義取決於不同的人對這個詞的看法。但重要的部分是「未來和我們有同樣權利的人嗎？」結果是：「未來生活的人和我們有同樣的權利，所以我們應該給他們一個好的環境。」
為了讓人們了解現在的人和未來的人之間的關係，我們現在必須了解政治如何與環境共存。於是，鄭先生談到了政治生態和生態政治。第一個意思是先考慮政治與環境的平衡，然後再關心環境。另一種是先考慮環境，再考慮政治。我們之所以談論這個，是因為我們需要憐憫環境，而不是像機器人一樣思考。
我們之所以更需要憐憫環境，是因為「政治從來不為環境服務」。所以我們應該同情環境，為他們爭取權利和幫助，因為環境不會說話。為了要憐惜環境，我們多了解環境，因為我們不了解的東西很難同情。所以鄭先生講了很多關於藻礁的事情，這是我在這次演講中學到的最多的東西。
最後，希望能投票的人都去查詢和藻礁有關的事情，為自己的權利投票ㄝ，也是為了環境的權利。因為這是你保護環境或通過投票告訴他人你的想法的機會。因為每個人的想法都很重要，所以我們必須告訴別人我們的想法，來保護自己和他人的權利。
