“Climate Change and Me”
Change is inevitable. It is unstoppable just like what is happening to the
world today. The world is undeniably affected by climate change and the people
from different countries are suffering from this phenomenon. Those people,
including me, should be the catalyst for change. Climate change and me has an
invisible relationship that establishes a “give and take” commitment. The things
I do the environment will also be the result of its present condition in return.
As a student, who is truly concerned with the environment, I must be the
number one agent for change. These changes must be beneficial to all mankind
in a better way. There are a lot of ways and activities which result to global
warming but there are many ways to prevent this kind of change. We can save
the world from our on little ways like increasing the people’s awareness about
environment though seminars, training and workshop. The best way to save the
world from climate is to start within yourself. Promote the ecological solid waste
management act, maintain the cleanliness campaign in your own area, be an
advocate of environmental implementation of best practices to prevent global
warming.
It is a matter is showing concerns to our environment for the welfare of
the present and future generation. There is no turning back to our past
generation. Therefore, people should be responsible to our mother nature and
focus to our present conditions for a better future. If there would be no
corrective actions today, people will be continuously suffering someday. Always
instil in our minds that the future relies in our hand. Me and you can save the
world because we know how.
