We all live in one world similar to a house. But just like a house, the earth will simply not be good enough to live in if we do not do our simple roles into maintaining it and doing certain chores to uphold its worth. Many of us forego the conclusions that things such as trash, pollution and using toxic materials that damage various parts of the earth. We are only concerned of living in the world and existing to accomplish and satisfy our own needs. That is perhaps all we are aware of and nothing else.But the earth cannot continuously revolve and take in all the abuses coming from us. We forget that nature can take its toll and a lot of it can be seen in the various natural disasters seen today that include earthquakes, Tsunamis , and the thinning ozone layers. We, the human inhabitants, are responsible for most of this although we refer it to global change. But change does not happen alone. There are instigators and all of this are pointing towards man himself. This is where Earth Day comes in. We need to re-orient ourselves on the overall green environment.

The next time we go out or after reading this article, think about it. When we see trash or see dying trees, we should take the initiative to do something about it. Put trash and waste in its proper place and dispose of it properly is a good contribution already. Dying trees need replacement. It only takes one seed to plant. This is why Earth Day was set. To help remind us that the earth needs our part for it to survive.
