April 22 is designated as "the" Earth day. Thousands, maybe millions will hold hands(not literally, but could be), raise their voices, staunchily stand up for Earth. As obvious as their is sky above us, our Earth is ailing, and is in dire, dire need of a saving grace. From freak weathers here and there, hotter summers, colder winters, stronger storms, from melting ice caps and glaciers, heating seas which kills coral reefs in the process called coral bleaching, from rising sea levels caused by the latter. If i was to put here everything being the effect of what is popularly called Global Warming, then i'd be filling up a tall order.
In our little ways, we can celebrate Earth day with little but reverberating daily activities. For starters, we can lessen up our intake of pre-packaged food such as junkfoods, canned goods, processed foods and the like. What is their connection to global warming if you should ask? For the primary reason that packaging and delivering them to designated places requires energy, which in turn requires electricity, which in turn requires primitive coal burning, which in turn exhaust massive amounts of CO2 to the air. Think again! We can also put off lights which are not in use, or not even use them if deemed unnecessary. By not turning on our faucets, and use natural sources of water for our daily hygienic activities, we can save as much energy as 100 PC's turned on and off at the same time(could be more than a hundred). How, you shoudl ask? Well, faucets siphon water, and siphoning water requires so much electricity. Wasteful use of water faucets is like hitting two birds in one stone.
Little things, can be big. One action from each one of us, would add up to hundreds, maybe thousands. It all starts from one individual. We are that individual. Put in mind that we only have one Earth, one place we call home, if that we lose, we'll never find another one. She(pertaining to mother earth ^_^) has given us so much, she has lost so much from us, it's time we gave back what is for her, clean our dusty trails off, and start thinking as a one country. As one thinker said, "The Earth is our country, we are its people". We are all in this together. Open our eyes, clench our hands in action. One place, one Earth, one place we call our home!
P.S.
Don't Fart!^_^
