Nature
was once a paradise. The former proverbial heaven on earth. It is then
considered as one of man’s best gifts from God because of the vast vegetation,
various kinds of species (either perceptible or not) roam around and migrate
from one place to another, everything we need in order to survive is here. Everything
was in equilibrium not until man’s greed disturbed nature’s balance. We destroyed
earth and earth’s future state depends on us and us alone.
Take a
glance around you, what do you perceive? In cities, loud roars of roving
vehicles, black foul-odored smoke emitted by cars and other modes of land
transportation, polluted bodies of water, tons of rubbish scattered down urban
streets. All of these are caused by man’s negligence and ignorance. They are
all caused by OUR wrong doings. We brought forth too much sufferings to Mother
Earth and now is the time for her sweet mode of revenge. Natural calamities
destructed the livelihood of people causing millions, billions or even
trillions of the cost in infrastructural and agricultural damage and even
killing thousands of people. Nature, itself, is making its own way to make us
realize that we are in the cataract of ruin. Will we wait for further
catastrophic events? Or shall we make a move before it’s too late? They say
that the youth holds the key to the future of the nation and student
empowerment is one of the possible ways out. If we hand-in-hand help each
other, we can build an eco-friendly nation and in that way, we may not be
bothered by such natural disturbances.
Every
person has to make a move. A move that would change the present state of Earth.
A single move that could encourage the nation to make a stand for nature. A stand
for the gradual improvement and retainment of the original natural equilibrium.
