Free Topic: Earth Day and How to Preserve the Sanctity of Earth?

  What is Earth Day? Earth Day is an annual event which is celebrated worldwide on April 22^nd. Various events and campaigns are organised by governments and non-profit organisations to create awareness to the community and the citizens of every country to let them know how much impact an activity can caused to destroy nature. Natural disasters, that’s a different issue. They occurred naturally and we cannot prevent it from happening. We can only depend on the news and the authorities. On the other hand, pollutions caused by humans such as air pollution, water pollution, high acidity of soil, can be prevented and avoid such activities from occurring. The question is how can we preserve the sanctity of Earth?

  One of the ways we can use to preserve Earth is to start recycling recyclable products such as cans, plastic and papers. We can sort them and that is why we have three different recycle bins to ease the waste sorting. The recycle products will be collected by the recycle truck to be send to the factory to be processed to create new products. This is decrease the amount of waste and lessen the number of dump hills created because of tons of waste we created each day. Developed countries such as Singapore, Japan, South Korea, the United States of America and so on, create a lot of waste compared to other countries. According to Wikipedia, the United States of America created around 4.5 pounds of waste and that is more than other developed nations. When we practice recycling in our daily lives, the amount of waste products created can be reduced.

  Besides that, schools can organise programmes regarding nature as the main subject and create objectives to preserve Earth against pollution and destruction. Students can learn about the Earth and useful ways to preserve Earth alongside the causes and effects that pollutions can do to Earth through gallery walk. Schools could also create “Nature’s Club” which focuses on activities to create awareness to the students, especially the members about Mother Nature. Schools can create competitions to encourage students to create new things using only recycle products. Students can showcase their creativity to the school and the things they made can be displayed for Earth Week or any other activities at school related about Earth.

  Not just that, non-profit organisations could create campaigns to create awareness about Earth and natural habitats. They can hand out flyers and organise talks about preserving nature to public. They could also create a sale with the money earned used to donate to the organisations to replant new trees, buy new equipment and so on. The society should lend a helping hand to make the campaigns about preserving Earth a big hit. Without the society, the steps that could be taken to preserve Earth and protect Earth against pollution will become a huge fail. The government should support the campaigns and contribute with them to accomplish the objectives to save Mother Nature. Not only politicians, famous people, especially celebrities, are also encourage to support these activities since most fans will follow what their favourite artists do. Thus, awareness regarding about Earth can be created.

  Every step will always start from ourselves, right? We should make the first move. We love our Earth because without Earth, how are we supposed to eat, drink and live? We, as citizens of Earth, should take actions to take care of Earth. Besides recycling and replanting trees and flowers, we can volunteer ourselves to help the organisations that is in charge of taking care of forests and natural habitats with an open heart. This will ease the work the employees and at the same time, we get to experience it with our own hands. We can also stop buying products that is made out from endangered species, whether it is animals or plants. If there is an increase in sales, more animals will be killed and also more plants will be used, and at the end, the future generation will not know about these animals. For example, Sumatran rhinoceros are facing extinction along with the Bornean Orang-utans. Lots of actions taken to protect these endangered species from extinction and we should help them as well. The government should fine hunters and poachers who dare to hunt for endangered animals with a fine.

  In conclusion, we should preserve our Earth for a better future. New generations can enjoy what we have right now without anything on their way. We should love our Earth as much as we love ourselves. Love yourself, love the Earth, love Mother Nature. Take care of our Earth.

That is all for now. See you real soon!
