Plant Trees to Preserve Nature

We heard news from different parts of the world that many countries suffer from flood, soil erosion or landslide. It is because of man's abusive attitude to nature. Trees were being cut down and no replacements were made. Trees whose roots use to hold the soil to prevent flood and soil erosion, sad to say were cut down due to personal interest.

As a result of this, many lives were lost, houses and properties were lost due to floods and soil erosion. The world need to do something to prevent this calamity that has come. Many more lives will be lost if we will not find ways and means to solve this problem. Let us bring back the trees that has gone out from our mountains. We need to have reforestation.

When we say reforestation, it is the restocking of existing forests and woodlands which have been depleted. Reforestation can be used to improve the quality of human life by soaking solution and dust from the air, rebult natural habitats and ecosystem, mitigate global warming since forests facilitate biosequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and harvest for resources, particularly timber. We need to replace those trees which was taken out for we know that trees plays greater rule in our environment. We must do this not just for our own good but for the good of the generations to come. Let's help plant trees, let's participate in the reforestation.

When we will do this a very great change will happen to our environment. It's not only that we participate in government programs but most of all we help build for the future, we help bring back the forest. We also help the wild animals. Though we cannot see the result right away but our children will be the one to harvest each effect.

Help save the environment. Let's plant trees.


Polluted Air Around Us

Living in this polluted world we are not sure that the air we breathe are still fresh air. We know that wherever we go, almost of the air we breathe were already polluted. Air pollution is caused by a variety of things. The earth is great at cleaning the air on its own. However, air pollution has grown so much, the earth could no longer clean all of it. This is now the start of adverse effect on the environment such as causing acid rain, smog and a wide variety of health problems.

Cars, trucks, jet airplanes and other combustion engine vehicles cause air pollution. The exhaust from these contains carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and gaseous oxide. This type of air pollution creates smog which causes respiratory health problems and holes in the ozone layer, which increases the exposure to the sun harmful race.

Factories, office buildings, homes and power-generating stations burn fossils fuels, which cause air pollution. This air pollutions destroys plants, damages buildings and create oxidation on iron.

Petroleum refineries release hydrocarbons and various particulates that pollute the air.

Some power plants are not insulated and are high voltage.

This creates air pollution. Pesticides used to kill indoor and outdoor pests, insecticides used to kill insects and herbicides use to kill weeds all cause air pollution.

Radioactive fallout causes air pollution from the nuclear energy dispersed, which is a dust.

Dust from fertilizers used to help plants grow causes air pollution. Sick building syndrome (SBS) is the term used when there is an indoor air pollution. This happens when there is not enough  ventilization to disburse the toxic fumes from carpet, paint and or cleaning chemicals that are used indoors. Mold can also cause SBS.

Mining causes air pollution by releasing a variety of particles. Mills and plants, includes paper mills, chemical plants, iron mills, steel mills, cement plants and asphalt plants, release emotion into the air causing air pollution.

Because we are not sure and we are not safe of the air that we breathe we should know what are the does and don't in order to avoid and not to create more pollution to our air.

Polluting Our Water

Everywhere we go, we are not safe with our environment around us. Our air, even our water is now polluted with dirts coming from different contamination. We are not sure if the water we are drinking is still safe or what will be its effect to our health? These but are just the result of man's negligence of its environment, the result of many discoveries that they didn't even notice that it already resulted to pollution.





Water pollution is the contamination of the water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, groundwater).
Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water; and, in almost all cases affect is damaging not only to individual species and population, but also to the natural biological communities. Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.




Water pollution is a major problem in the global context. It has been suggested that it is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases, and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people daily.

Love Environment/Preserve Nature

Now, try to observe the world, try to look at God's creation. Have you notice something? Have you notice changes? Definitely yes. I hope you would agree with me. A very great change is happening to the nature, the mountains (forests) and even in the water (sea). Maybe some of us haven't notice it, but certainly there's a great change in our environment which was done by human's abusive attitude.

God gave humans freedom when it comes to nature, on how to take care of it, or what to do with it.
Because human is wise enough and has its own way of thinking on how to improve nature, they didn't even notice that what they did is a great abuse to our environment. Just like the cutting of trees in the forest. They thought that what they did was good because they can use those timbers in some other uses but the negative effect is that, it creates floods due to soil erusion because roots of trees which use to hold soil was cut down and nothing can hold the soil anymore.

Another thing is the hunting of the wild animals. They did it because of the reason that they can make money out of it. Sad to say that it creates another harm to our environment. This animals live in their place freely because as humans they were created by God to explore their surroundings freely. This wild animals plays a greater contribution in biodiversity. Hope that human would think over it. Not to think just for their own goods but for the benefits of all. Many more things will happen if we keep on abusing our environmment. Many lives will be lost and many creatures will be harm.

Let's take care of our environment. Preserve nature that  God entrusted to us.
