The future of our planet

As all of us already know, we live on EARTH, depending on it. Us humans live till nowadays only by using the natural resources that the earth gives us. However, how did we repay the earth for giving us rich natural resources? We destroy it. That's right! Every second in our lives are making us get nearer and nearer to our doom as we exploit our one and only home planet.

The most well known and also biggest problem is pollution. Anyone who is reading this can notice that the temperature is rising and it is all caused by pollution from the likes of cars, motorbikes, airplanes....and also factories that give off dangerous and harmful fumes, making the pollution problem worse. The biggest fear that scientist now have is that if the pollution doesn't stop, the temperature of the earth will keep on rising. It is known that there are two thick big piece of ice at the top and bottom of our earth. These ices' jobs were to cool down the earth but when the temperature rises, the ice can't take the heat and start to melt, making the sea level rise. Also, if the sea isn't cooled down, it will start to expand which means that it will take more space. If the temperature keeps on rising, the sea will keep on expanding and cover our entire planet before we can do anything about it.

You would say: shouldn't we find a solution to this problem? Yes, yes we have to find one if we want to survive on earth longer. We can help plant trees so that it can help absorb the harmful gases that makes the earth warmer. We can also start recycling, saving power and electricity and there are lots more of possibilities we can do to help our environment but we can only achieve it if we cooperate and work together for a better place to live, not through war.

If you feel that you want your grand children and great grandchildren to live a long happy life, you should start saving the environment now.

However, it's only a matter of the time before the sun starts to die and eventually explode, taking earth along with it, so it your choice to help our environment or not, but there's thousand of years more to wait before it happens. By the time it happens, we would have found another way or planet to live already, however.

Thanks for taking your precious time reading this but I hope that we all can help save our planet together.

  4. Rotha,
    this is a very clear essay. You describe the problem clearly in a way that everyone can understand.

    The solution part is good, but general. I wonder what each individual person can do, in their daily life? What specifically can be done here in Phnom Penh? I think many people know about this problem, but it seems to big for them to do anything about.

    The last paragraph was very bleak. I think it actually made your argument less strong. It seemed like the 4th paragraph was a more natural ending. The last paragraph starts a new topic.

    Thanks for a well thought out essay. I really appreciate that you are thinking about this and that you care. I hope that we humans don't destroy our own beautiful habitat.

    P.s. Do you think it's possible the earth will survive just fine but humanity will not? Just something to think about!
