Good morning chairperson, good morning audience.

This is the way that I started my speech for the debate at Campsie P.S. yesterday. Our debate was topic was: Earth Hour is a waste of time.

We were the negative team and that means we said no, Earth Hour is not a waste of time.

Our 4 arguments were:

  1. It raises awareness
  2. It gives power to individuals
  3. It gives us a taste of future reality
  4. It gives global warming an international focal point

Campsie P.S. were the affirmative team which means they said yes, Earth Hour is a waste of time. These were their arguments:

  1. Not many people participate
  2. It’s only one hour
  3. It has no sponsors
  4. Big companies don’t participate

We WON the debate and are hoping to go well in the future as well. Here is our team: Natalie was the 1st speaker, Naomi(me) was the 2nd speaker, Ramiz was the 3rd speaker and Celia was the team adviser.

After the debate the school provided food for us, this food included: chips, cakes, donuts and poppers.
