Rethink Nature

Nature is a beautiful creation given to us by Mother Nature. As time passes, we are caring less and less about our nature. Taking care of our beloved world is a very important duty that we all have. Learn to save the Earth, and care for it. Think about the next generation and the situation they would get into if we are not careful today. It’s time to rethink nature; it’s time to think green.

The trees, the bushes, the plants are ‘little things that don’t matter’ in the eyes of some of us, but they are one of the most important requirements in our lives. People are now starting to cut down more trees than planting them. It wouldn’t take you much time just take a day off to plant a tree, and two minutes to recycle. Maybe you want to do a project. Why go out to the store and buy all new materials? Why not reuse? It’s amazing how you could reuse to make such beautiful and amazing items. Buy containers and reuse them instead of buying Ziploc bags and wasting them.

Another problem we have is that our air is beginning to get dreadful. The factories and burning of coal is a big part of it. Since we can’t do so much about it, we can prevent a lot of it by doing other things. If you close your eyes and really think it’s pretty easy. Just start with walking to school instead of getting a ride from your parents. You can also take a bike to the park or take a bus to the mall. Why not finish all your errands while you are already using your car? That way you can simply reduce the fact of using your car even just a little. Having everybody doing this there is not a single doubt of making the situation worse.

The worst problem is we do not know how to save energy. The question, ‘What if?’ is very important here. First question, what if we run out of energy? Sure, we have enough today, and we may have enough tomorrow, but what about in two year? Five years? Ten? Twenty? It isn’t very hard. You can start by turning off the lights when you are not in the room. Turning off the computer when you’re not using it, will also help. What good is it if you let the water run when your not using it? Think twice before you leave the water running, while brushing your teeth or washing the dishes. You will be surprised at how much gallons of water you can save if you close the tap when you’re not using it.

Our world is an amazing place to live. Why ruin it by polluting and destroying our planet, when you know it will harm not only yourself and not only me but everyone, because this is ‘our home’ not only mine nor only yours. It doesn’t take long; it’s the simple things that make a difference in this world. It’s time to rethink nature; it’s time to thing green.
