Climate CHANGE

Earth on Fire           Have you ever noticed that the world has gotten hotter? Have you wondered what it means? Have you pondered what the future will lead us if this phenomenon remains unsolved and continues to grow worse everyday?
          This natural phenomenon is known as "Climate Change". It is the unexpected increase or decrease of temperature of a region. Its effects are observed in the environment. Glaciers have shrunken, lands have dried, forests have burned down and people have gotten ill because of the extreme rise of the temperature. All of these are happening because of our wrongful doings to our environment. Human activities such as cutting down trees, emitting harmful smokes from vehicles, overspreading of scattered trash, igniting plastics and rubbers are what caused Climate Change and what's making it a bigger threat. If we don't stop these  reckless actions soon, we will lead ourselves to our own destruction.
          The solution to Climate Change is simple. The answer is in the name of the problem, all we have to do is CHANGE. Firstly, lessen the cutting of trees instead plant more trees. Don't you know that without these trees, there won't be any oxygen we can breathe. Secondly, if your destination is not that far avoid using vehicles but instead walk. This way you are already helping Mother Earth and you are exercising your body. Two birds with one stone, right? Thirdly, pick up every trash you could see. If we continue this practice, we will be able to witness the beauty of our environment. And do you believe that one man's trash is another man's treasure?- yes, this is true.We can earn money by selling trash like plastic bottles to junk shops. Fourthly, avoid burning plastics and rubbers. By doing so, you will spread dangerous chemicals in air that are harmful to our health and environment. There is another safe mean of getting rid of these materials,we can decompose these materials by burying it in the ground. And finally, always keep in mind the 3Rs- Reuse, Reduce and Recycle. This way you can lessen the trashes,improve your creativity and save money.
          Through these changes, we will be able to change ourselves for the better. We will be able to change our Mother Earth's unfavorable state. We will be able to change our  future.
