Save Our Mother Earth

Our earth is in trouble and it needs your help! 

Everyday, the air is being filled with poisonous fumes from vehicles, the water is polluted by toxic wastes from our industries and the forests are being cut down.  All these are slowly putting the earth in danger.

Why should I worry, you may ask. There is just one very example reason. We live on this earth and this is the only place we have. We can't live in space. If we treat the earth so badly.  It will so dirty we won't be able to live on it anymore. If we treat it well, the earth will stay a clean place, perfect for living.  So, it's our job to help save the earth.   The earth now needs all the friends it can get.  But then how can we make the earth a better place to live in?  First, we need to be Eco-conscious. Being Eco-conscious means being aware of what you are doing, buying, using and what it does to the environment.  A little awareness and thing you could do is to reduce air pollution.  You could walk or bike to school it you live close by.  Taking a public transport like bus would be suitable for those who live for away.  Car pool in your area if you by car. 

• The second thing we must know is that some resources are limited on earth.  
• Turn off the lights and fans in your room when you leave. 
• Before you open the refrigerator, decide what you want to take from it.
• This not only prevents warm air from entering the refrigerator but also conserves energy.
• The next thing you could do is to conserve water.  
• Take a five minute shower instead of a long bath.
• Turn off the tap as soon as  you have filled the bucket.
• While you brush you teeth don't keep the water flowing.
• The next thing you could do is to shop wisely.
• Many children discard all the old pencils, pencil cases, notebooks, bags, lunch boxes, uniforms and shoes at the end of each year and buy all new supplies.
• Just because they are old doesn't  mean, they don't work any more.
• You can give away things like shoes, uniforms, clothing or things you think you cannot use to someone   who needs it rather than littering them all over the place and buying more.
• So, the next time you want to buy something, as yourself if you really need it.
• Be creative when wrapping gifts.
• Instead of expensive gifts wraps, cover the gifts with comics or magazine pages.
• Save and re-use decorative ribbons and bows.
• When you go to supper market with you mom, carry cloth bags.
• Say 'no' to plastic bags.
• And last, but not the least, plant trees. 

There  is a well-known slogan " Each one plant one."  So go ahead and do your bit to make this earth clean and green.  "Small drops form an ocean" is a well known saying.  The little things we do can go a long way in protecting Mother Earth.  So let us all come together in our effort to save our planet earth because it's the only one we've got.
