Blog #3: Personal Responsibility and the Environment

Finding a place or a country where is the most suitable for people to live, up to 50% people on the earth would like to chosse Canada or Australia to be the place to spend their rest of life after retiring. If you ask them why, they may answer that the air is fresh and the environment is gracious. Everyday you can see poeple who put "reduce the aggravated environmental problems" on the tip of their tongues, but actually some of them do nothing to heal the world. It is nonsense. Actions will demonstrate everything.

Even though environmental problems can not be cured thoroughly, what can we do to diminish the environmental pollution and balance the ecology, such as global warming, extinction of animals, and trash? The most efficient and easiest way is to do things around you. Giving up driving your own car, taking a bus instead, which can decrease the air pollution. Do not throw the used paper away, collect them, which is recyclable goods. We also should lessen felling trees, which can alleviate air quality turn a bad turn. Avoid using nonrecyclable plastic goods. The objective wiil never be reached only by our ability. At this time, the government should enact some related policies and laws to punish people who break the regulation.

When I was only 6 or 7 yeas old, because I always wasted food, my parents told me that how much food you wasted right now, how much you would eat when you were in the hell. Do you believe this ??

I agree that "actions speak louder than words." That is, we can talk all the time about the importance of doing something, but if we don't do it, the talk is meaningless.

Over here, our parents told us that, if we wasted food, we should think of all the starving children around the world who could be eating the food. So we all learned that it was important to "clean our plates." That's one of the reasons why many of us are obese!

I think actions are always louder than words. I believe everyone also say that they love the world and will take care of it. But only a minor part of the people do that. So I think I should try myself to be included in the minor part.
