My Role In Creating A Peaceful World (b)

THE ENVIRONMENT AND ME

            Talking about world, it is not just about our daily activities. It is all about life, including ecosystem and also humanity and responsibility. World is beautiful. It has many living things. Trees with colourful flowers decorate the world beautifully; making our sense fresh and also can destroy any stresses.

            Actually, human does not appreciate what had been given by our God. Many forest had been cleared by certain irresponsible human. They had never thought of the effects to our world. So, we must be committed of creating peaceful world starting from now.

            I am a student, a student in a very beautiful smart school, also the showcase school for all other students in Malaysia. I also have the best teachers and friends. My school uniform, stationery, books; all of these completed my need in searching knowledge. As other humans, I also have been given by God perfect thinking skills.

            At home, my identity is completely different. I am a daughter of a happy couple. My dad and mom always give me whatever I wanted. They bought me a big beautiful Barbie doll, a huge bedroom with an air conditioner that always makes me fresh. My routine will be filled with five times of meals. The food will be laid out on my table every time I am hungry. My health also increases day by day on having a balanced diet.

            But why I felt all these were not enough for me? Am I greedy? Am I an ungrateful person? Or maybe, is my life incomplete?

            Every time I step out of my house, the sunlight will shine harshly towards me. Ouch! Today is as hot as yesterday and even hotter than before!  Why this happened? Without wasting much time, I quicken my steps to a long narrow road. It is very dark in here. Look, there are three men lying on some newspapers, with many strange things beside them. It looks like drug’s facilities. They are very thin and smelly. The situation makes me uncomfortable and persuades me to leave.

            It doesn’t take a long time to be in this place. This place is called ‘town’. There are many people rushing to work on their own vehicles. Meanwhile, my ears caught a voice from an old man, coughing. He looks very weak when massaging his chest. I think, this is all because of the smoke and dust in the air.

            Help! Help! ‘What was that? Ah, that was a woman shouting for help!’ My sight caught two men on a motorcycle. One of them was snatching a bag from the fat woman. Oh, no!

            Nowadays, kidnappers, snatchers, robbers and crimes are everywhere. Every day, we would have to survey for places that are safe before starting walking propitiously. But for how long we want to be like this, living with fear? Where is the peacefulness, where is the humanity, where is the responsibility?

            As a human, we must be concern on any issue about the world. As we all know, our world nowadays is not much peaceful than before. So, we must have a role in creating peaceful world. I am a futuristic person, so I also want only the best for our world.

            Environment influences the peacefulness of the world. So, I must take care of my environment. I will never be selfish like them. They just focused on buildings and technology without thinking about nature. I also won’t litter anywhere. I have a smart brain, so I will always confirm that our nature is always clean.

            My beloved earth today is suffering from air pollution. People always release chemical smokes from factories. Open burning also causes air pollution and global warming.

            I know that I must appreciate the environment. I love my world. I promise that I will protect our environment to make the world peaceful starting from today, tomorrow and forever.
