With the advent of modern technology and because of human intelligence, our lives have been made easier. It is apparent that people work hard to have the good life that they dream about and to enjoy the things that we can acquire.
To have a huge a house filled with appliances can provide the comfort that we need. Traveling is made easy with the various modern forms of transportation that we have today. Human intelligence has paved the way for the emergence of computers, the internet, various gadgets, huge machinery and all the tools that can make life easy no matter if we are at home, in school, in the office or anywhere we desire to go.
But do we realize the costs that this technology brings? Little by little without knowing, this technology is affecting our environment causing destructive disasters. Typhoons, earthquakes, tsunamis, flash floods and oil spills are some of the disasters that should give us a clue that we should take action to prevent these disasters from take their toll.
The earth is ill because of our actions and our selfishness. Some people and companies engage in illegal logging which is causes flash floods; dynamite fishing and oil spills cause water pollution. All such examples are harmful to humans and to the environment. That is why now is the best time to help the planet heal by joining non-profit organizations that endeavor to provide good environmental services and environmental remediation that Mother Nature needs now.
We do not have to wait for tomorrow, all of us should act now to prevent momentous calamities from happening. There are many simple ways in which we can take part in environmental services and remediation that our environment needs like:
Proper garbage disposal
Recycling
Consume energy and electricity
Avoid the use of plastics
Tree planting
Through these activities our environment will be clean. We can surely enjoy the bountiful blessings that Mother Nature provides like fresh fruits and vegetables, clean water, clean air and clean surroundings, all of which help to prevent epidemic diseases as well. Not forgetting, a healthy environment that will lead to a healthy life.
We need to repay our planet with good things because it is the one that provides us with what we need to live.
