The World: A Ticking Clock


How do our selfish needs affect the enviornment? Do we care more about our economy or about our environment? We want more resources than the Earth can provide. We keep digging for more, wringing the Earth dry. Soon there will be nothing left. And when there is nothing left we will be lost. Everything we have, what we wear, where we live, how we travel and even how we cook, use up these resources. We are completely dependant on the Earth and what it provides for us but when it stops providing we will die out. We as human beings do not know how to survive without all the things the Earth gives us. If we continue abusing the Earth and the gift it has given we will suffer. Karma has already begun to take its course with climate change and has affected millions. The natural disasters like hurricanes, tsunamis and more could be results of climate change.

Hurricanes have increased by 70% in the last 50 years. Heat waves have struck and rain fall has intensified. As we continue to pollute the planet, the planet strikes back. It has been telling us it is sick. These disasters, all these people dying are signs to tell us our environment is dying too. Once this climate change, a result of human abuse, has gone past a point of no return we will be living on a ticking clock. That last hand just needs to turn and human life will cease to exist. To save ourselves we must save our home too.
