Mother Nature Speaks, A Little Louder This Time

Mother Nature Speaks, A Little Louder This Time

I don’t usually speak loudly.  You know this is not my style.  But, things are really getting out of hand and I have to raise my voice before it’s too late.

You are here on this paradise called Earth for a great adventure.  Yes, agree.  I did mention that I would give you complete freedom to explore, experience and have fun.  But look at what you have done to her.

Through your actions, excessive potent greenhouse gases have been released into the space and this makes her terribly ill.  Now her face has even distorted.  Look at how the climate has changed.  How the weather patterns have gone haywire.  How the length of seasons has altered.  How the seas are getting warmer.  How the many species are facing extinction.

That is not all.

Ice is melting and snow is disappearing.  Lands are cracking and more deserts surfacing.  We see severe drought.  We see massive floods.  Agricultural products are wiped out.  Buildings are destroyed.  Water is contaminated.  Infectious diseases emerged.  We now see fiercer storms than ever.

I have allowed you to have fun.  But certainly not in the way you have conducted yourself.  How could you have killed the trees and forests?  Yes, I know.  You did not do it yourself.  By through your actions, through your desires, deforestation has been ongoing.  Trees and plants remove carbon dioxide from the space and in turn release the oxygen you need to breathe, to stay alive.  Do you know what you are doing to yourself?

As I said, Earth is paradise.  There is abundance.  There is enough food for everyone.  Why do you need to eat more than your generous share?  Don’t you know that eating excessively will also give you health problems?  And for goodness sake, there is much good-tasting and nutritional food to choose from, why do you insist on eating tons and tons of meat. If you could just reduce 2/3 of your meat consumption, do you know that you can help feed billions of people?

Now that you have created these problems, you will need to solve them.  Given the magnitude and severity of the problems, every single one of you, whether you are in the North, South, East or West, will need to work hand-in-hand and heart-to-heart to prevent this catastrophe.

What can you do?

1) If you cannot refuse meat, choose to eat less meat.  Go for plant-based alternatives.

2) Practice “Reduce, reuse and recycle” as best as you can.

3) Save resources.  Use less water and electricity.  Buy energy-saving appliances.

4) Go green.  Travel in public transportation or go for car-pooling.

5) Plant trees if you can.

Before I throw my next tantrum which I promise will be a BIG one, you’d better hurry and do your part to help restore Earth’s face.  She may look strong.  But if you continue to abuse her, she will certainly collapse in no time, as you go under together.

Food for thought, before your next meal.
