In today's highly technological world, we seem to neglet the it's effects on nature. More than 100 years of rapid industrialization and technological advancement has made our life much more easier and made nature's life a living hell. It was not more than 20 or 30 years ago that we have begun to notice the foreshadowing of events today, terms like "greenhouse gases", "global warming" and "environmental refugees" have become all too real my friends.
We are in the procees of warming up the Earth. Already, there is a piece of ice sheet that is the size of the state of Texas that broke off. Water frozen for a million years has melted. What ig the world was 1 degree warmer, you'd think 1 degree is only small, but it has enormous implications in agriculture. I learned this in the National geographic documentary "Six Degrees can Change the World". If you want to know more about the effects of global warming, then I suggest you watch this,and this.
Now you would ask what can we do to save the environment? Here's a tentative list:
1. Turn off all electrical devices and lights when it is not necessary.
2. Recycle and reuse paper, bottles, Be creative!
3. Use a bicycle when traveling short distance, if not, just walk. It's good for your health!
4. Downloads are a necessity. It cost much to ship DVD's and CD's by planes.
5. Be orderly in the things you do.
In Christianity, God has given humankind stewardship over the Earth. let us take care of it. Everyone of us is responsible to Him. We have only one World, and One life. Don't ever take for granted what He has given us.
The former U.S. VP Al Gore stated that the combined effort of people CAN make a difference in the world we live in! Take a lesson from the ants and the bees, they're social insects. I see the Human race as Leaf-cutter ants, or locusts. Leaf-cutter ants and locusts can strip huge swathes of rainforests in a matter of hours and eat up crops respectively. However, It seems that we've surpassed these ravenous ants. Well at least the ants give back to the rainforest. It is a well-known fact that revolutions start with the self and then gradually influences the society. If we can make the planet's natural processes go awry, we can sure minimize, if not stop it altogether.
With that said, I am going to leave you with a challenge.
Are you willing to change your simple habits for the benefit world?
Are you ready to change for the better?
