Ailing Mother Nature — End of the World or Bad Lifestyle?
Nature is the totality of all that is not man-made. This will include plants and animals and all natural environment including the atmosphere and the marine habitat. However, with science, nature can be imitated. From man-made water bodies to genetically modified foods and science fiction of clones. Taking inference from the old Panadol advert ‘If it’s not natural, it’s not nature’
Mother Nature is a force that keeps all life forms flora (plants) and (animals) as well as habitats and environments in existence. While we may attribute these to religion, it is essential to understand that mother nature is dying. This isn’t a religious question but scientific and commonsensical.
Species are going extinct due to hunting, the earth is getting hotter, fishes are dying or migrating due to change in aquatic temperatures which also caused more hurricanes and wildfires in the US as well as other adverse weather conditions. In the Arctic, ice caps melt creating an enormous increase in the volume of water, attributing to the increase in rainfall and floods. Other actions that contribute to our ailing environment are bush burning, burning of refuse, carbon emission from cars generators and factories. We are the reason why our environment is ailing.
We need to change to save mother nature because without her we would not exist. There is an immediate need to promote a green culture. Use less paper to reduce the need to fell trees, plant more trees to increase oxygen. Use renewable energy instead of coal and fossil fuel which emit a lot of carbon as against renewable energy which is carbon free. Practise energy saving cultures and learn to recycle, reuse and reduce.
Above all, be your environment, protect mother nature.
For 200 years we’ve been conquering nature. Now we’re beating it to death. — Tom McMillan
