Protect Our Environment

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but Mother Earth is acting strange. It's no longer at peace with mankind. I think Mother Earth is angry with us. You see, more and more natural disasters are happening all over the world.

The Asia Tsunami struck many parts of the world in 2005. It was one of the deadliest disasters of mankind. More than two hundred thousand lives were lost.

Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, a city in the United States. Thousands died as a result.

Global warming is, of course, the culprit, but we must ask ourselves this question - why is the Earth getting warmer?

The answer is pollution. Due to greed and selfishness, our planet has become extremely polluted. Over development and industrialization are the main reasons. So, nature is fighting back!

We must be more environmentally conscious. We must do our best to save Planet Earth.

We must make sure we protect our forests. If a tree is cut down, a new tree must be planted. This will ensure our forest do not disappear.

So, how can we help in our daily lives ? I say - car pool! Car pooling reduces the number of cars on the road. This will help reduce pollution.

Another thing we can do is to reduce the use of plastics. Plastic products do not disintegrate. They are a real burned to our environment.

We can also reduce recycle cans, bottles and newspapers! You could earn a little money by selling them to recycling companies.

The Earth belongs to all of us. We must treat it well - we must love it, protect it and never abuse it!
