Our planet is a gift given to us by God. It is meant to be loved, respected, cared for, and cherished. It is meant to be kept clean and beautiful. Why then is it being unloved, disrespected, and becoming dirty? The gift of our planet needs to be taken better care of or one day it may be destroyed.
When people pollute and litter they are ruining our gift. The gift of the Earth can not be replaced; we only have one shot with it. We cannot destroy one of the most beautiful gifts God has given to us. Natural resources, given by the Earth, are so important to our everyday lives, such as, the water we drink, soil we plant in, and the air we breathe. People need to realize that doing even the smallest things can help save our gift of the Earth.
Recycling, reusing, and conserving are all easy ways that we can make our world a beautiful and clean place to live. Throwing plastic bottles into a recycling bin instead of a garbage can is an easy step towards helping to save our environment. Another way to better our planet is by turning the computer off when you are not using it; that conserves energy. An example of reusing would be using both sides of a piece of paper, instead of using just one side and starting again on another page.
If more people took the time to do simple things like recycling our world would be a much cleaner and safer place to live. If something does not change soon we could lose one of the most precious gifts that could ever be given to us. Remember next time you have a plastic bottle to throw it in the recycle bin or when you see a piece of trash on the floor to pick it up and put it in the garbage. Little things can go a long way when you’re dealing with something as big as the planet.
