We loved the earth so much. Once it was boundless, unattainable and inaccessible for us and waiting to be exploited.
But in the 20th. Century by the help of advancement of communacation and transport means it became a global village. Subsequently it was in our hands with all its untouched beauty and possibilities. And we assailed it with all our madness. Our unquenchable greedy of profit and ambition of accumulation of wealth has rapidly consumed all the available resources.
Since the equilibrium on earth was designed presuming the fair play of humans who have an exceptional power and dominance over all other beings. The morality collapsed first, then came the destruction of the planet which was entrusted to human beings.
Today we consume so much oil in one day which deposited in a 1000 year. Just a century ago the oil reserves were full, but now they are alarming and we are almost at the end of the road. The earth is dying out and we are consuming it swiftly and helplessly playing our role that is given us by the consumption manner of the age.Yet, another disaster of course is the global warming.
The effects of global warming are felt everywhere from the mountain tops down to the depths of oceans and from the equator to the poles.
As a tragic result of the global warming, while on one side the frequency and intensity of storms, hurricanes and floods are increasing, on the other side long lasting, severe droughts and growing desertation are prevailing in many parts of the planet.
Temperatures are constantly rising in winters. Springs are arriving earlier, while the autumns are late to come. The periods of animal migrations are shifting. Climate changes are taking place and in ten years time it might be impossible to turn the time back.
The one third of all forests and animal species are under the threat of extinction since they can`t adopt the radical changes in the climate. Climate change and pollution directly effect the human health too. They might trigger some illnesses or directly causing some kind of infections, allergies or poor health such as heart, or respiratory system diseases.
We must learn to live by gratefulness for ungratefulness veil the endless blessings and favors that are given to us and cause the misuse of them. We must stop wastefulness at once and save energy and economy on water, electricity, paper etc. Try to use public transport as much as possible. Avoid using materials that are causing pollution such as plastic, nylon detergent etc.
We human beings are on the same boat. And its appereant that we have seriously damaged the boat that we are aboard with our own hands. Since we have nowhere to go to abandon the ship, it`s better we abandoned our destructive habits and lifestyles that are harmful to environment. Thankfully it is not too late yet. It all can be restored if we care good enough and take action without delay. Don’t think that it makes no difference if only I care for the earth and abuse the environment. At least you don’t take part in this dreadful crime headed for all living things.
