Red Alert: Missing In Action

Sweat falling. Perspiring all day. Thirst visits. Dehydration once again.  It’s really getting hot in here.

            This will surely be the scenarios that you will be meeting nowadays. No doubt, there has been a recorded increase in the temperature of our planet. What is more alarming is that, it is continuing to elevate and still, not enough actions have been employed. It seems Mother Earth has really reached her boiling point.

            With the fusion of naturally occurring catastrophes and human activities, planet earth has been continuously experiencing this so called climate change? First and foremost, what is this climate change all about? It is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average. Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth.

            As far as I know, climate change can be classified into two: El Nino and La Nina. El Nino is the sudden rise in temperature of our environment. It causes drought and some sickness to human beings. La Nina is just the opposite; it is the lowering of temperature which causes blizzard and shivering to us. Just like El Nino, it can be a huge damage to humanity since it hardens our jobs, literally.

            So how do we avoid these earthly punishments? Of course, we need to implement mainly the 3R. Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Of course, also plant trees. Trees provide great assistance to us. They give us fresh air and helps in reducing the tendency of suffering from disastrous flash floods. Segregate your wastes, the biodegradable from the non biodegradable and plastics. In addition, avoid burning plastics; it contributes a lot on the extension of the hole on our ozone layer which has been recently reported to be as large as the Australia.

            Above all, let us practice the system of amity. Tasks can be accomplished quicker if people work together. Let us love our nature. It is a gift by Almighty God so we must really nurture and take care of it for him. We are the stewardesses of this planet earth.

            Let us now move. I am sure, God does not like what he sees right now.
