Our Home

Home, is where we live, where we stay and where we grow. It is a very big part of our life. It gives us shelter so we can be protected. But now our home, the planet earth is in a big problem, a problem if will not be solved can cause its destruction.

        Global Warming is the increase of temperature in the earth surface and can cause climate change. It can cause very big effect in the agriculture. Just like in the Philippines, we experienced extreme heat and this causes rice fields to get dry, and rice really needs a big amount of water for it to survive. Because of drought, planted rice will die, and there will be a shortage of rice.

        It causes climate change and because of climate change people will suffer deaths, diseases, injuries and loss of properties caused by the extreme floods and extreme heat. Floods can destroy the houses and properties of people; it can also get people killed. Extreme heat can cause heat stroke to people and it can cause death.

Because it increases the temperature of the earth surface, it can cause melting of ice and increase of sea level. If the amount of melting of ice will increase, the sea level will also increase and it can cause some small islands to sink. If global warming will continue, not only these small islands will sink but also all the lands in the planet earth will sink and we will lose our home, not only our home but most especially our lives. The destruction of planet earth can be a really big problem, because if we lose planet earth, our lives will also be lost. Planet earth’s value is like our lives.

Today we do not take care our planet earth, we do things that can cause its destruction, and we help to contribute to its death. But we do not realize that because of this action we are destroying the life of the future generation.  Simple things that we did had a big effect on our planet. Yes! Because of technology, life became easier, but because of some technologies, the life of planet earth is shortened. If global warming will continue it will cause the destruction of our planet earth, the destruction of our dearest home. Because of our action we destroy planet earth, the planet earth where we grow, where we stay and most especially were we live. So now we must protect our planet earth.
