Environmental protection and managemet

Blog entry for the environmental protection and mgt session

We only have one earth. We were born here and this is the place where we made a lot of memories with the people we love. Will we just let this place stumble and die little by little? It is very important that we be conscious of our earth's condition because if we, the people who lives in it doesn't, who else will? This place has given us a lot more than what we deserve and don't we all have a responsibility to somehow give back to it? We owe it every second of our memories. If it weren't for our precious environment, we won't be able to jog in the morning, swim in the rivers or even just stare at beautiful sceneries.

A lot has been happening lately and we're so busy with our lives we don't even have time to take a look at what's happening around us. Our environment is slowly dying and it's all because of us. People always say that everything starts with a little baby step. Well, it's the same with what has happened to our environment. One candy wrapper thrown at the ground evolved to us almost running out of clean water to drink and a very polluted air to breathe. Most of the reasons why our earth is suffering all of these is because of all our race has done to it. Starting with the very common yet still unsolved problem, global warming. We all know what caused this and now that a lot of CFC appliances are being made, smoke-belching cars, people smoking, people burning the forests, it is almost impossible to control the pollutants of our air. So now, our earth has a lot of trapped energy/ heat and even though we don't see it that much, it has a big effect on our environment. glaciers are melting, polar bears drown, forests burn, etc. Another example of whats going on our environment is the cycle of deforestation, flooding and landslides. People chop down trees in our forests for their lumber and when it there's a storm, there's no more roots of trees to hold the soil thus flooding the area which leads to landslides and we all know what things might happen after all these. The worse part is people don't replace the trees they cut down leaving our forests plain and dry. These effects can all be addressed by making the people knowledgeable about all of it and making them realize that either we all do something for it or literally good happens and we just watch our earth die. I, as a student, am responsible of helping the officials spread the information needed to be spread and do what I can do to reduce the causes of environment's destroyal. I can start with my friends and make them see that I am doing something and make them realize that they too, have to.

The experience of making a filter was fun b
ecause I am really not a garden person even though we have a lot of plants at home and it was my first time to make one.
