Environmental Awareness

Our Planet, Earth, is rapidly walking towards its destruction due to our negligence. The environment is rapidly changing, not changing for better but for worse. And all of these changes are caused by us. The forest that has a lot of trees before, it is now bald. The river that was clear is now dirty and full of plastics and wastes. Supposedly, our role is being the protector of nature but what we are doing is to destroy it.

Nowadays, the effect of Climate change on us is very alarming. Temperature is soaring at a high speed, which affects the yield of the crops and also causes some health problems, like heatstroke and dehydration. The melting of glaciers can cause small islands to sink. These effects are very threatening.

One of the major issues that we are currently facing is air pollution. Using a car can lead to air pollution. Not only cause by using a car but also burning fossil fuel that is used in making electricity and fuels. But even though we are already experiencing it, we can reduce the effect of it by using a bicycle or walk if the distance that we want to travel is short. Avoid burning leaves and other rubbish like plastics since it will release carbon dioxide and other elements into the atmosphere which can increase air pollution.

Environmental Awareness Month educates us on what really is happening in our world. It continuously reminds us that the world is hastily deteriorating. This, we must love and cherish what God has given to us, nature. We are the protector, not the destroyer of it. So we must play our role correctly. We must protect, improve, sustain, and pass the Earth to our future children perfectly.
