We humans have existed on this planet since the beginning of time. However, as humans continue to inhabit this planet, we intentionally and unintentionally destroy our wonderful nature in order to make life simpler for ourselves. Humanity is experiencing the effects of what we've done to our planet as a result of the harm we've done to it. Many people are feeling the impacts of natural disasters, and as a result, we humans are facing problems. We must act quickly because if we do not, the earth will destroy us before we can destroy it.

            Humans have been linked to a variety of activities that have significantly contributed to the destruction of the environment. Pollution, such as the release of harmful gases and the overuse of resources, are two of the most common ways in which destruction has occurred. Some include habitat destruction, such as deforestation, and climate change all caused by human activity. But let us be part of the solution, not the pollution. It is not too late to make a difference, and it does not take much to make a significant difference in our environment. We can start small, and we can start at home. We can create change by first changing ourselves for the better. We must put our knowledge of how to help protect our environment into action. Then we can start to put our knowledge to use by helping clean our surroundings at home. Then we can teach and encourage the people we have at home and in our community to help in protecting earth. This way, you could inspire people to help save the environment. And it is through this simple act that we can grow and inspire others to help save our environment. Even if we believe we have only made a small difference, the people you have inspired may in return inspire others. Let's inspire others to contribute to the protection of our environment so that future generations can have a chance to experience what we have now.


            Even though it appears that we will never be able to undo all of the damage we have done to the environment, it is never too late to make a positive change. When we humans do harm to the environment, mother earth strikes back harder with things like natural calamities. We must be kind to the planet in order for it to be kind to us. We can make a change by starting small. We can inspire others to change, and in turn, those we inspire can inspire others to change too. With that said, I hope we use the time we have left to do what is right, which is to be a part of the solution, not the pollution.
