Blog Action Day 2009: Saving the Planet, One Action at a Time!
I am really excited that I was invited to be a part of this great cause, and it really makes me proud that bloggers all over the world feel confident enough to unite and do something about an important issue like Climate Change, because if each one of us did a small action, we will together combine a big action that will eventually make a significant difference.
It is no secret that our planet is undergoing a lot of changes, and if we read through history, Planet Earth witnessed and survived major changes; lines of species disappeared because of these changes and Earth is what it is today as a result of all these changes. However; what accelerates the changes that we are witnessing these days is that the dominant species’ actions are contributing negatively and causing the change to happen faster than it should.
Nature has its own special way of creating a perfect balance; that’s how God meant it to be and He took care of all necessary details to maintain and retain this balance, but human beings are the most superior creatures in this life and they enjoy having a unique feature which is the free will. Humans are not driven by instinct alone, it is combined with the power of choices; but how do humans use this power??
Unfortunately; when it comes to climate and preserving the environment; I am afraid that our choices are not the best out there. Pollution, wars, killing forests, ozone layer damage and many other effects are caused by our choices and how we consume the environment, and the problem is that now we understand the problem, but we fail to contribute to the solution which makes us a part of the problem itself. If each one of us did a small thing in the right direction, these small actions will make a huge action in the same direction, then why aren’t we trying???
That is why I am so happy to be a part of this Blog Action Day 2009, I am considering the words I am writing here on my blog to be only a part of what I can do as a human benefiting from our Planet. Maybe I do not know exact numbers and facts that I can share here, but I have a strong belief in the power of words that can reach intellectuals all over the world and make a difference even if small.
If you are reading these words, ask yourself about what you can do to contribute in creating a better tomorrow for your children, how you can be a positive force towards maintaining Planet Earth for a good future, how can we prevent the drastic change that is crawling and becoming a sad reality every coming day, if each one of us treated this as his own personal mission, we will be able to make a positive change, together, we can, so let this be a good start for a great cause.
