Earth, the only known 'green' planet in the solar system. From geographical point of view, it is made up of great mass of earth and minerals and all sorts of elements with a hot red core as the center. On top of this mass of earth are living creatures, walking, crawling , flying and stood still striving to survive. Nowadays, over half of the populations are human, walking on a busy street, eating in a cafeteria , having fun with see-saws , driving ships around the globe and all sorts of activities carried out. However, where are all the flying birds? Where are the tigers? Where are the bears? Survival for the fittest. This was the only possible answer to all the questions. We have surpassed their intelligence . We cut down trees for papers, construction , charcoal and furnitures; we clear jungles for housing estate , bungalow, skyscrapers , hypermarket and schools. We survived because we have all the efficient needs. What about the living things beside human? Have we not thought of them ? What have we done to the ecosystem? Did we destroyed the balance? All sorts of questions are bombarded . Now the question is, how should we commit ourselves to the environment?
22nd April 1970 , more than twenty million Americans were not pleased with the polluted environment . demonstrations were held in America with over twenty million citizens protesting . The day had become the sign of human fighting for the earth's long lost right . So on the 22nd of April since 1970, it has been declared Earth Day. This essential moment was not concerned by many until the 1990's , Earth Day was known internationally. Time passes , it is now the 40th anniversary of Earth Day . Compared to all the countries, our country is still adolescent . Our environmental activities are far below the expectation of many countries. There are various reasons , the citizens dared to scowled at the polluted environment but don't have the gut to present there anger. I would be asked , "Are you not one of them?" Yes, I am. Demonstration may be a way to emphasize the government on our concern about the earth's right, but it won't be long term for demonstration are not held every day in our life. What we should be doing is to show our concern by action.
Take fashion for example, every season or decades, human donned on different clothing. Isn't this obvious humans are easily influenced? Why not take this opportunity to influenced others by committing ourself to the environment? We can start of our journey by doing recycle. Newspaper recycled into another paper; aluminium cans , glasses can be reused . All unnecessary junks can be reduced by recycling. We can first instill this habit to our family , then the process will go on as our family begins to influenced there friends, and their friends influenced their friends and family. This habit will go on and on . This may take some time but it eventually instill everyone with the habit of recycle and conserve the environment. Why not be the hero of the environment by indulged in the activity of recycle? We may not be the president of America whose job is to influence others by strong words, but we are spreading the message of conserving the environment. We are doing his job !
This may sound not as convinced, but this is a great deal to help the environment. We do not need to shoot down those who polluted the environment or demonstrate under hot sizzling sun, all we have to do is to do what we are suppose to so, take care of the environment. Everyone who is standing will know the severe damage we have done to our mother nature, everyone is worried about the future, everyone is looking forward for a solution to the problem, but the answer is simple. All we need to do is to spread the passion for the environment and conserve the environment starting with yourself , eventually, everyone will follow.
