Our planet is dying. What can we do to stop this?

 

“Save the earth!”

I’ve heard this slogan since I was a child. But it seemed like vague and a difficult proposal to me. Everybody is worrying about it but they don’t know how to deal with it. It’s about time that we considered it consciously. (we should keep it mind)

 

Most importantly, we shouldn’t forget the fact that resources are limited. We get used to wastefully consuming everything like materials, food, water and even air. We have dominated all the resources and we are using it up. We must remember that we are only borrowing the earth for a while.

 

Secondly, we should reduce all kinds of trash straight away! Today is the time that producing less trash is more efficient, not only littering trash everywhere. Now we are repeating that between using resources and throwing that continuously. We must input the recycling system first, and then divide the trash when we produce it.

 

Education can be a good solution as well. If I were in a very dirty place, I wouldn’t throw my trash away freely, because I would feel guilty. It is the result of education and I think it is a very valuable thing. If we were taught about it repeatedly, we might behave and think of the importance of our planet.
