With all the talk of sun screen and swimwear, I forgot that that on April we celebrate Earth Day. Although this is the day where we are most active in preserving the environment, it should be practiced the whole year round. These days you don't have to be an environmentalist to realize there's something wrong with the environment. It's quite obvious that the planet aint as fresh as it used. This is what I realize when I listen to the song "Nature's Way" by Spirit.
I have to admit I'm no expert when it comes to conserving the planet's resources, let alone solving pollution. The planet is already telling us that it's having a really hard time supporting us with the disappearance of resources; piles of garbage getting bigger, air becoming less fresh, inconsistent weather and so on. Sometimes we brush off such signs as being just a plot in a movie. Sadly, it's happening and it's no science fiction film. It's becoming more and more obvious that we need to change things before it's too late.
It's a good thing that a lot of people are now moving to take action. In my city, Paranaque, we have implemented several ecological projects such waste segregation and river rehabilitation. Not only in my city, but in other places as well are people taking actions. Tree planting, recycling are now are starting to take off. Ordinances promoting healthy lifestyles as well as promotion of alternative fuels are now the talk around the world. It's good that we're starting to set thing right because it's our way of giving back to nature what we have taken in the first place.
