Philippines, located in the
highway of typhoons. Almost every year the number of typhoons visited the
country increases, and the number of casualties swells in rate and properties
are frequently destroyed. Not to mention the flood follows it. Why are there
typhoons anyway? The constant increasing number of typhoons every year is
because of the Global warming.
The global warming is a sudden
change in atmospheric pressure because of the amount of the CO2s produced and accumulated
in the surface of the planet. What causes Global Warming? To answer that, I
went to figure it out myself.
I roam round the city and
see what are the different activities causes it. I began with the most common
observation that contributes in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, smoke
belching. Irresponsibility is in the air. Then, trash everywhere: on the
street, canals, drainage systems. I keep on roaming around to see if there’s
more till I went pass by to one street. I saw a guy burning rubbish, and this
one is just a block away from my brothers house. The next day in the same time,
the same guy did it again. I stayed in my brother’s house to observe. It wasn’t
just him who keeps on doing it, but there are others. So, I did my own investigation.
I ask them, why are they keeps on doing the activity. They came up into a consensus
that if they won’t do it they’ll probably going to be drowned in rubbish if
they won’t do it. Because, no garbage collectors are coming around to fetch
their trashes, so they think it was the best idea to get rid of it. By burning
them. “They said, there are even others who just simple dispose it in the
nearby river. I thought this activity forbid by the local government, and why
then they keep on doing so? I went to the Baranggay hall, a local government unit
that holds responsible of the area, to know why they are no garbage disposal
unit deployed in the area. The head told us, “residences need to sign something
in the office to legalize the collection of garbage in the area, but nobody has
an initiative to do so. These small actions contribute to send the area, even
the planet from dying.
Sometimes we don’t have to
wait for someone to make an initiative for us; we must do it by ourselves.
There are very little thing
that’s left in this world and they are worth the fight. We can predict the
weather before because of the pre-warnings. Now, the weather shifts and it is getting
worst. Don’t let the fate dictate you, you dictate the fate.
