Steps to a better future

We belive we are a superior race with rational thoughts and the capacity of thinking and acting wisely. But how can these intelligent beings, the humans, harm the natural environment so much. Studies show that if we continue to pollute our natural habitat, Earth will no longer be the healthy and harmonious place we have been given, but an overpopulated and greenless planet.

To prevent this natural disaster, we must begin our journey for a healthier planet and a greener environment, being conscious that we can’t afford much time; our planet is already ill and if we don’t begin now, our children and grandchildren will hear of trees only from books.

Firstly, considering that our planet suffers from global warming, we have to find alternative sources of energy and facilities that are environmentally friendly. There are lots of auxiliary sources of energy that we don’t explore at their real potential. They don’t harm the environment with fossil fuels and they are inexhaustible. The most popular, yet not very used sources are solar energy, wind energy and even tides.

Secondly, people don’t realize the importance of sorting their garbage in categories according to the natural balance. It means very much to the planet itself to protect its natural beauty by recycling our garbage.

We, teenagers can change this dark future. Our voices must be heard through the adult world! Let’s be an echo, not a whisper!
