 Turn back to Nature

People may think that natural calamities are inevitable, but we cant deny the fact that we contribute to these calamities. We always point our fingers to others whenever a calamity happens not knowing that we should put our fingers on ourselves. No matter how we deny it, we are killing nature even at the slightest sin of throwing a candy wraper everywhere.

As an education student, we should take the first move of helping nature. Mother earth has never failed in giving our needs but we never look back on taking care of the thing that keeps us alive in this world. According to Ms. Gerlinda Corpus, “we should preserve nature up to the next 7th generation in order to keep the balance of nature”. We are nothing without mother earth. Lets show our love by starting the change whithin ourselves. Only then, that we can spread and encourage everyone we know to the significance of nature in our lives.

Living our lives on a clean and green sorounding will be a dream come true for us who lives in a grey and dirty environment. One piece of candy wraper may cause a life which we can never take back
