Nowadays it’s really hard to measure what season are we really in. Summer heat is now expressing its presence ranging up to 40 degrees outside. But before you know it, rain will unexpectedly appear out of nowhere. Imagine the hassle of wearing your fad summer clothes while running on the pouring rain. We know what’s causing this weather confusion. We are aware of this Global Warming thing that’s going on. But less than 1% around the world is just doing something about it I guess.
The irony of hating what’s going on to our planet cursing the heat or the rain when in fact it’s because of us people why the earth’s going crazy as it seems. For the years that I’m living in this world, I haven’t seen not a single country who really takes seriously of this matter. Most of the posts and ads that I’m seeing imposing to save Mother Earth is just to make us aware. Making people aware is just an easy thing but wouldn’t be better if we can just use the word oblige rather than aware to take action on what’s happening to our home planet? Different religious groups are saying that the end is near that’s why we’re experiencing a lot of fortuitous wrath of nature nowadays. This may be true, but I’d rather believe that it’s because we’re taking earth for granted that’s why it’s losing its control. And again, I really don’t think that we really care that much about it.
If the government really care about Global Warming, why do they still continue to allow the tobacco business progress and let the manufacturing of cigarettes go on when we are all aware that smoking can messed up our ozone layer? Each pack of cigarettes now has this warning saying that it’s dangerous to your health. May I request to also include that it’s also dangerous to our planet? I find it weird that they’re putting this warning sign but they still allow the consumers to purchase it for the purpose of good income regardless of the threat it can dealt to us and to our environment. To smokers who’re reading this, can you imagine how small sacrifices such as quitting on smoking can do a lot of good things for you, for everyone? I’ve been a hardcore smoker before and it only damaged my lungs which caused me to undergo a year of medication to cure my tuberculosis during my younger years. The tree planting projects that a lot of pro-earth institutions are organizing is a good thing to make us aware that we really need to do something. It’s a good thing, but it’s not enough until the government or someone with a higher authority will oblige us “all” to do it. These simple things that we are already have the knowledge to save our planet needs some major push to put it into action which can benefit us all. Enough about other stupid ideas such as the Earth Hour. What’s the sense of closing all the lights for an hour to pay tribute to our earth? What good changes does it make? NONE! Worse is if you’re living in a third world country, it will only give the wandering thieves all over the metro a big opportunity to do their action in an hour!
Awareness is already not an appropriate word to save the earth. Because even a little kid knows how to bank the safety of our planet. Simple things like what I’ve mentioned above that can help. Simple things like not throwing your garbage anywhere which I’m always reminding myself. Don’t expect that there’s another planet for us that we can just transfer once we let this Earth died in vain. Well there might be, but not in our time. And it’s better not to expect nor hope but rather do something to prolong this big round thing that supports our existence for now.
