In this speech you will learn about the increase of the increases of the traffic charges and why is there an increase. Because of traffic congestions, charges will increase to ease the congestions of places during peak hours. Congestion will increase waiting time, slowe speeds, increase travel time and increase fuel costs. Therefore congestions must be eased. There are two ways to ease congestions, one being widening the roads and allowing more vehicles to pass but the widened part would just be congested all over again, the other, is the increase of traffic charges. It is effective, as not a lot of people would pay or would want to pay. This would ease the traffic congestions. Also the first way would use up resources and that is not good for the environment.

In this speech you will learn why animals should not be hunted for their body parts as medicinal ingredients and preventing cruelty to animals. Using animal parts for medicinal ingredients is cruelty to animals, and over killing of the animals will lead to the extinction of the animals. Parts of animals like bears, tigers, slow loris, civet cats and rhinos have been used for medicinal ingredients. Parts of bears like fat, brain, spinal cord and other parts are used to treat everything from cancer to general pain. The tiger, with almost every part used as powder, balms, pills or meat to be eaten, is like a 'walking, living drug store'. It's penis, is used as an aphrodisiac, bones for arthritis and muscular atrophy, claws against insomnia, fat to fight leprosy, and brain to clear pimples. A tiger on the black market can sell for 10,000 US dollar. The slow loris is a big-eyed tree dwelling primate. It's fur is believed to accelerate healing of wounds,and the extract from it's eyeballs is turned into love potion. The anal scent gland of the civet cat is used in potion to induce abortion, and used in Dragon, Tiger and Phoenix soup, for fighting arthritis and to stimulate blood flow. The Rhino's horn is believed for centuries to ba able to cure fevers, convulsions, delirium, headaches, heart and liver problems, toothaches, and snake bites. The horn is also more valuable by weight than gold.
Other cruel acts to animals include what happens to animals that we eat before they are killed for meat. Their lives are spent in cages that are filthy and barely larger than their bodies. They should be treated humanely even though we are going to eat them. To produce veal, most calves are taken from their mothers when they are just hours or days old and then hung by their necks in crates too narrow for them to turn around or even lie down comfortably. Almost totally unable to move and prevented from engaging in natural behavior, they suffer tremendously.
During nearly their entire four-month pregnancies, millions of female pigs used for breeding are kept in gestation crates – individual, metal stalls only two-feet wide. The crates are so small that the animals cannot even turn around. Barely able to move, these highly intelligent animals suffer terribly and develop various illnesses.
Hundreds of millions of hens are kept in tiny cages so small that the birds can’t spread their wings, nest, dust-bathe, perch, or even walk more than a few painful steps. Each caged hen has less space than a sheet of letter‐sized paper on which to live for more than a year before the hen is killed for meat.
In conclusion, hunting animals for their body parts as medicinal ingredients and cruelty to domestic animals must stop.

This proposal will hopefully convince you to fund the recycling campaign launched by our school's Recycling Club. By funding our campaign, there will be three ways you can benefit. Firstly, recycling reduces the amount of materials wasted, thus reducing landfill costs and therefore you would have to pay less. Energy costs would also be reduced since getting materials would be mining, and various ways so recycling would reduce the costs of using energy to get the materials. The air would also be less polluted because the materials would not be incinerated but recycled, giving you materials and less pollution.
