Nature is the physical world and
everything in it, place where we live and fulfill our needs. Nature provide
everything for us, such as water, foods, clothing, and many materials, but what
we do to reciprocate them? Nothing. At this time, there are more people who
destroy the nature instead of caring them. Why they do that? Why they destroy
it? What will happen then?
Many people doesn’t know the
importance of nature to their lives. NO! OUR LIVES! We depend on nature not
vice versa. We can’t live without nature. Long time ago, many people really
care of nature, because they knew that they cannot live without it and their
descendants will need it, so they take care of nature for their descendants.
They were not greedy. They exploit it as needed, not excessive, so that their descendants
can also use it. How about now? How about NO! Now, many people ignore it. They
took everything. There are overexploitation everywhere. They cutting down trees
to create a huge place to live, however it’s too huge for them. They also
exploit nature excessively just for make them looking good than others.
Actually it’s not! What they do is destroy nature just for greed. What do you
feel about it? Many people ignore it, and the others just “like”,”favorite”, and
“share”, we need the real action! Not a “like” or “share” in social media!

Today, many people can use water as many as
they want. Have you ever see African people? They must struggle to get clean
water. It’s really hard to get it. There are many pollutions going on, such as
air pollution and light pollution. Long time ago, we can see many stars at
night in any places without any telescope. Now, so many light pollution, it’s
hard to see a star although with a telescope. How about air pollution? You know
asthma? Asthma is a specific respiratory problem. Long time ago, asthma was a
rare diseases. Today, asthma may affect as many as 334 million people and
prevalence is rising. It is estimated that the number of people with asthma
will grow by more than 100 million by 2025. It is one of the consequences of
air pollution. There were less pollution many years ago. Now, there are
pollution everywhere. Is that bad? Yes, it’s really bad. Can you imagine how
our descendants will live with this pollution that will increase anytime? Do
you want your descendants suffer? Today, we still can use water easily and breathe
easily. How about 20 years later? Is it still easy? Many years later, there are
water crisis everywhere, we can’t breathe easily because the air is
contaminated by the pollution. Air is rare, disease everywhere. Maybe later,
air won’t free anymore, we should pay for it. No one will have teeth or hair,
or maybe human will be extinct. Hunger, violent, and greed would be rampant.
How to stop it? What can we do
to prevent that happening? Is it too late? No, it’s not late. We can do
something. Stop illegal logging, so there are many tree to prevent floods and
landslides. The air will also be clean and we can breathe easily. Stop overexploitation,
so there are many things our descendants can use. Don’t waste a land just for
greedy! Create a high house instead of comprehensive house, so there are areas
for planting. You also can do a simple way such as not littering. Therefore,
our nature will stay clean. If you think littering is fine if it’s a small
trash like candy wrapper, then imagine if everyone in the world or more that 7
billion people do that. Is that still fine? Another things that can we do is don’t
waste water, use it as needed, don’t be greedy. Do recycling especially
plastic, instead of wasting it, or it will be better if you do not use plastic.
You can use paper bag or tote bag to go shopping instead of using a plastic. Wake
up! We need a real action!
What do you prefer? A world with
pollution everywhere, water crisis, no free air, disease everywhere, global
warming, and misery everywhere, or a world that has clean water, clean air, less
pollution, free air, calm, and peaceful? You prefer the second one, don’t you?
If so, let’s do the real action! Is not too late, you can begin with a simple
one. The longer the time pass, the world will be better if we care about nature
and not greedy. It’s not only for ourselves, it’s for our descendants too. More
and more people care for nature, the better our world will be.
