Earth needs our love

Do we ever realize where are we now? We as humans live on Earth starting from birth, a small, growing up, until we die. We are deeply indebted to the Earth, the planet we live on this beloved.
But, how much we have contaminated the Earth, the Earth, and make this Earth to be no longer beautiful? Sometimes we do not realize that our actions are very damaging to the Earth and seem ungrateful to the Earth, which has contributed much to the Earth.

Therefore, we must begin to change our lives so that our actions are no longer destroy the Earth. Of course we are human beings who can not do everything. So, we just do the deeds we can do and do not have to push yourself. If we can only do simple things, yes we do these simple things. Not only because of the simple things that the bus we do, we are ashamed to do so we do not do anything. But we also have to develop themselves in order to make it bigger. Most important is the intention and sincerity of our hearts.
The little things we can do is to remove such waste in place, to save electricity, save on fuel oil and many more.
Maybe we're tired with the words "Dispose of waste in place". We heard those words since we were kids to adults. But if we are doing simple things that we think that? Maybe, maybe not. Sometimes to a large garbage we remember, but if a small trash such as pieces of paper, plastic, or pack a snack, we just throw begirtu. If we are in a class, then we put the garbage dikolong table. if there diangkot then put under a seat.
It was not only done by children, but also by adults. That suggests that the most important is self-awareness. Age had no effect on a person's attitude. The most influential is the consciousness. That's the most important. So is the use of electricity and water. We always assume that more people are using more water than ourselves, so we think if we save, it still would not be useful. That is wrong thinking. If everyone is thinking that, then nothing will save it? We must instill the mind of all things good things it has to start from ourselves. Do not wait for someone else to do untuik good thing.

Therefore, it is to keep our environment, our beloved Earth's environment is, do something small for something great that does not exist before there is a small thing. If the little things done by many people, the little things that would be a great thing. If a thousand people dispose of waste in place and maintain the cleanliness, the area will be clean. But if a thousand people for littering, then of course the area will be very dirty at all.

So, do not ever underestimate the little things like save electricity, save water, save fuel, or dispose of waste in place. Do it yourself and then start from tularkanlah on the people around you. Jadilha friend and love the planet Earth. Hopefully if we have done the best we can do, Earth was again beautiful, cool, fresh air and more comfortable so itâ ini.Kelestarian happy life on Earth depends bagamana earth we react to it.
