Why do we need to protect the environment? By: Lyka Mae B. Ayad

The rise in temperature of the Earth may seem nothing to you, however they have devastating impacts on all of our lives. I daresay, our lives are threatened! Natural disasters such as heat waves will happened often due to the increase in temperature. All of us should be very thankful because we are blessed with such a beautiful environment to live in. Even so, the environment we are granted with may not last for a long period if we do not take necessary actions to save it. We must realize that each one of us is responsible and plays a role in saving the environment. Many people tend to question the reasons for saving the environment. There are several reasons why we need to save the environment; that is to prevent the extinction of living organism, to prevent global warming, and to preserve Mother Nature. Firstly, saving the environment will help to prevent the extinction of living organism. Living organism refers mainly to the wildlife and also the plants which is the source of oxygen.. For example, wildlife needs certain habitats to survive or will become extinct if their habitats are destroyed. Before we even damage the environment, we should question ourselves, wouldn’t it hurt our eyes to see those cute bears, birds or insects become extinct? Plus, it would be a shame if we could not introduce those animals to our grandchildren. To prevent the extinction of living organism is a reason why we need to save the environment. Next, we need to save the environment because it can prevent global warming. Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and oceans. It is a big issue and can never be taken lightly. If the temperature will continue to rise, the glaciers in the North and South pole will melt and the water level of the ocean will rise. What will happen, low lying areas will be submerged and islands will disappear. It’s now time for us to act on this problem because all of us will be very sorry in the end. Thus, it’s very important for humanity to be more pensive towards the environment that we live in. A better environment can make people feel more joyful and can be more beneficial for their lifestyles. Therefore, it shouldn't be difficult for people to protect the environment and you can do this in many simple ways like Recycling waste. Recycling is a main step in protecting the environment, but the important outcome that people should take and accept is the idea of having a cleaner nature. To do so we should teach and aware communities for such problem and let people understand how it can be fixed. For instance, a very basic way to recycle in our everyday life is to separate our trash bins into sections to split different items from each other. The need to recycle is based on the fact that our natural resources are becoming smaller and awareness should be developed.
