Here's to me wishing the whole world a Happy Earth Day. For my part, I am going to do my part to refuse to throw away a single object (recycle them instead), although that's what I always do.
For this Earth Day Special, I wish to shout out a message to the whole world.
*Clears Throat*
The Earth is 4.6 billion years old. Cecilia Tan probably saw it ALL happen. Anyway, man has continually inhabited this planet for 2 million years now, and the Earth can provide it all.
But then, there is a hitch.
The Earth is dying. Fast. But we, the species who started it all, can end it. The crisis began during the industrial revolution in the 1800s when many new inventions appeared on the face of this Earth. Little did they know that the stuff the contraptions release are dangerous. The very stuff destroying Earth, unfortunately, is difficult to get rid of. When refrigenrants and styrofoam was invented, they did not realise that the ozone hole is developing. And the ozone crisis continues today, but it is heartwarming to know that the hole is closing up again.
What can we do?
Well, for starters, it starts from YOU. Yes YOU. By doing your part, you can save tonnes of waste by the 3 Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Excess waste caused by humans is causing a bulk of these problems. By reusing old stuff, or supporting by bringing your own carriers when shopping, or even using biodegradable plastic carriers can go a long way. Buying environmentally friendly products such as rechargables and hybrids also can go a long way.
That way, we can hope for a better future for our future and for our future generations in future.
