Who wants to live in paradise? Of course, everybody likes to. But how can we achieve it if we people are never taking good care of our environment? Literally, the world we lived in is a true paradise. And since people neglected so so much of being responsible in taking care of our mother earth, our environment become devastated. Climate change occurred.
What is climate change? It is a significant and long lasting change in the Earth’s climate and weather patterns.
// the half- tonne… turtles were thought to have died out 30,000 to 40,000 years ago because of climate change.
-New Scientist
// concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change are renewed among scientist and the public with every new report about the possibility of melting ice caps and rising temperatures.
-Randy Showstack
// drought is a paleontological fact in the American west, but the latest desiccations have a new signature, and my regions’ climatologists, hydrologists, foresters, and water managers are seeing how is climate change, the anthropogenic kind, a consequence of too much carbon dioxide (Co2) and other greenhouse gases.

Here’s some personal recommendation that might help in reducing climate change.
*Planting trees/ tree planting- this will help much to lessen landslides and soil erosion because it’s roots hold the soil well. This also help in having fresh air and lessen air pollution. Trees also maintain the oxygen cycle wherein trees releases oxygen and we give off carbon dioxide.
*Proper Segregation of Waste materials (5R’s)
-Reuse
-Reduce
-Recycle
-Repair
-Recover
*Avoid the use of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) because it can cause stratospheric ozone depletion.
*Avoid burning of trash, it causes so much air pollution.
*No kaingin system, it also causes so much air pollution.
*Do not throw garbage everywhere especially on bodies of water, keep the trash and throw properly.
*Avoid deforestation and illegal logging, it causes flash floods.
*Avoid mining and quarrying, it also causes flash floods.
If those things that I mentioned above will be exercised by each and everyone of us then surely, we will live in paradise. It’s one’s obligation to take good care of the world we lived in for the next generation will experience all the good things that we experienced during our times. I’m sure that many of the readers here experience swimming in a clean river, climb on trees, enjoyed the fresh air and greener environment. I want the next generations live the way we lived and enjoy the things we enjoyed. And who among you doesn’t want to? I know everybody want this too that’s why we should be united in maintaining the wellness of our nature. If each of us do good things in our very little own simple way, it can accumulate and will turn into a big impact.
Our weather nowadays is very much unexpected, sometimes it’s very hot then it rains so much and happened repeatedly in a day. There’s a strong typhoon that happens every year which is unusual, there’s a formation of tornadoes, there’s a storm surge, earthquakes occur at times. Forest fires occur in some countries, sandstorms also happen. Super-hot temperature can cause skin cancer and heat stroke. These things probably are the effects of the said climate change. So, we must be aware of the things we do, we should try to make things right. We must act right now for us not to suffer consequences. We are the ones who will benefit in one’s act of kindness. No matter how big or small good thing you did and it will save our earth. Let’s do our part.
