Saving Planet Earth

The entire human race is currently suffering from a global shortage of rice but what’s causing it? Six years of drought in Australia took its toll in the global rice market. With that in mind, I think it’d be safe to say that global warming has something to do with it.

Rice fields have turned into dusty lands as global warming continues to affect every single country in the world. Weather is no longer normal. Some parts of the world suffer from too much rainfall while others suffer from too much heat.

With drought, rice fields have turned from this:

For those living in countries where rice is consumed daily, this is very very bad news. One such country is the Philippines. It’s where me and my family live in and we eat rice three times a day. With the current rice shortage, many families are resorting to some other food source to satisfy their starving stomachs. The same is true for many countries in the world.

Global warming is a serious threat and we have to do something about it. It might not be affecting you much now but sooner or later it will.

After the recent earth day celebration I knew within me that I have to start this blog as one of my “planned” efforts in joining the worldwide community in saving planet Earth. It’s the only planet we have and it’s the only place that our children will live in - at least in the near future. I have three children and I want them to breathe fresh air and live in a “friendly” planet.

I do understand that saving planet Earth is not an easy thing to do but I believe that it can be done. It however would require a global effort to accomplish such a tremendous responsibility. I call it a responsibility because it is not something that we can ignore.

With this blog, I hope to help spread the importance of being earth-friendly citizens. It doesn’t matter what country we’re from, we all live in planet Earth. This planet is the only home and it’s quickly going to the bin if we don’t act now. Let’s start cleaning up and let’s begin to be pro-active. Let us all work together in saving Planet Earth.
