ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE: A CALL FOR ACTION



 
The sudden changes of weather condition and the wrath of nature are experienced in the different parts of the world. Some experts identified these Global Ecological Crises. As of now, many of us refuse to believe how our environment has been abused. We are facing a problem that confronts our country and the world as a whole. Undeniably, this is brought about man’s insatiable thirst for wealth and ambition to advance the technology.

               Is there anything we can do regarding this problem? Many of us deal with this problem with indifference. We refuse to believe that everything starts in small things, as an old adage says, “a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step”. Hence, even in small ways, we can do something to restore the healthy environment we used to have.

                There’s no age limit in becoming a responsible protector of the environment. How old and young are we, there’s always a reason for us to contribute in saving our environment. We can start by planting trees which greatly help in minimizing air pollution. In this way, we also contribute to the protection of the ozone layer. The trees also prevent floods and soil erosion especially these days when inevitably confronted with a phenomenon called La NiƱa. We should also practice self-discipline by not littering around. Let us dispose our garbage properly because in doing so; we help in the prevention of water and air-borne diseases. Lastly, we can support and cooperate in any projects of our government. We all know that our government and even the non-government organization are very eager for the campaign in saving the environment. As an individual, who are experiencing the changes in the environment, we should not be limited of what we know and what we have in saving and protecting our environment. In fact, there were lots of ways which we can do for our environment. What we do to help save the environment will be our contribution to the future generation. We must bear in mind that whatever we do today will go back to us someday. We can do something today; this is a serious issue that we need to take some efforts and actions for the world we live in.
               





Take this from me, if you dream for a better place to live in, start with yourself. Remember, you can make a difference.
