Pro-Nature: Make the Right Choice

Burning plastics is a bad habit. Don't burn plastics.

Ignorance and laziness. Either of the two can create a huge impact from the human race that can later lead to impairment of the earth.

With these intolerable acts, incorporated with the human nature of being selfish, it is highly regretful to say that our very wealth in our forests are fading slowly, and even very noticeable no immediate remedy can humanity ever sustain.

With the unpleasant effect the raging storm named ‘Pablo’ has left to the people of Cateel, the town is now highly in risk of like disasters, and due to the fact that majority are unaware of their wrongdoings, they become instant contributors of distraction to the balance of ecosystem, resulting to another ‘Pablo’ episode that might strongly happen in the coming days.

The community is trying to rebuild the lost haven that is the once prosperous Cateel, but the way I see it, we were lured to the wrong road, that is why it is such a work to save this bosom place, let alone Mother Nature, especially the world.

Several months after the aftermath, people are still engaged with clearing operations, striving hard to attain cleanliness and beautification at best, but by using the method that is incorrect.

Burning garbage or pag-dok­ as locals used to say is extremely hazardous, not to mention the trashes I cautiously am talking about are purely made up of plastics. Our environs grew weaker and weaker whenever one of us involves ourselves in such activity.

Take it from science: burning plastics is a very unsafe practice of cleaning, let alone the risks to our health as well as our nature. The said process is cancerous and can ruin our respiratory system, and worse our whole body. In the other hand, the dark smoke conjured by burning plastics contain poisonous gases that depletes our ozone, resulting to global warming, and later climate change.

In my opinion, ignorance and laziness takes charge from here. If not uneducated, people become indolent in trash segregation, and only engages self to a much quicker way. Out of laziness, we aren’t even taking 
interest in recycling, let alone the rest of the four Rs – reuse, reduce, and restore.

At this day and age, each one of us are tasked to cure the unending wounds our nature has thoroughly suffered. The youth are the new generation and the future lies in our hands. We need immediate solutions, and I know we can put a stop to this illness that we, as one society, have once started.

Just an eco-friendly reminder: Avoid burning plastics.
