  This day, the whole world is suffering from climate change. Every day, hundreds of thousands of species are in danger of extinction. Some say that the world will last until the year of 2012. Now, we are standing in the corner of the world of the very time, what is to be done?

   There was an important period in human history two centuries ago. It changed the way human survive and changed the attitude to the world, our mother earth. The Industry Revolution may be only the term that is heard in the history class to us, but in fact if it were not the Industry Revolution, things around us might not exist, your mobile phone, cars, planes, etc. Beside those benefits that the Industry Revolution gave us, what we give to the mother earth? Our earth is a very nice mother. She has deprived herself of rest and health to make the human, her beloved kids, thrived.

   Two hundred years ago, the human race was only just grown into adolescence. Every thing he did was for himself and did not care about others. Through the wheels of the time rolling, the boy has grown up already. Every thing he has is the top class. However, he is not happy at all he discovered that the used to be beautiful mother is now becoming an old lady. Her face is now wrinkled and wizened, her eyes dim and colorless, the grace of his figure broken and deformed. The scarlet passed away from her lips, and the gold stolen from her hair. Seeing these, he realized that what his mother did for him these years and what he did to his mother. Sitting beside the bed where his mother laid; yes, due to the labor she got these years her body crashed, a sharp pang of pain stroke through him like a knife and made each delicate fiber of his nature quiver. His heart is bleeding.

  To save our mother earth, many people organized some organizations to help saving the nature. For instance, the Green Peace teach the world that a loaf of human action really harm the nature. They sail round the world to anywhere that have the event of nature-unfriendly action take place and use some special ways to protect it. Other from Green Peace, the World Wild Animals Foundation (WWF) use another way to help the world. They try to raise money from all at the world to buy the land of ocean to help the wild animal’s origin living place would not be destroyed. There are a lot of these organizations to help saving our world at the place we don’t know.

   Every one in the world is a part of the world. We all live sharing the air that we breathe. We have the responsibility to save the mother earth from dying. So, what should we do now? When we use any energy, we are actually using the energy of mother earth. To reduce our impact on her we should use the energy from other space and that will be the only way to get energy in the future. Because it is safe, pure and unpolluted, solar power would be the main way that human gain the energy because we can get it everywhere, anytime outside the earth, and it is clean. But it is so far away from us, it’s future energy. What we can do is to save any energy we use every
