Let’s turn gold to green



Do you think that the future generation will still be able to experience and see the beauty we’re currently living in? Will they be able to see the different species that are now endangered? Feel the fresh air that we’re having right now? Can we still continue this current life style without changing the quality of life style in the future? 

It’s possible but I think it’s a little bit too late. Some people are starting to change because they can already experience the bad effect of it, but some people they still continue doing things that harms the environment. I hate it but most of the people prefer to be rich, to have a good economic status than to save our planet. It’s like a mine; they prefer to choose the gold than to save the earth.



Here in my hometown in Biñan Laguna, I already experience having a flood. When I was a kid, whenever there’s a typhoon it will flood but it will quickly drain, but now it will take a week or more before it drains (as you can see in the picture). I think it’s because of the new villages and the loss of other farms in the area.  Now people around there are starting to change, especially in the market place. They’re promoting the use of bayong and paper bags. They are very strict in using plastics. When they see you using plastic they will punish you by cleaning the area. There we’re also preserved ancestral homes and other historical landmarks.  So I would say that in my hometown we’re trying and coping to live sustainably.

We should always remember that everything is limited and we should always give importance to everything we have. We should learn to be contented of what we have and not ask for more. Getting only the right amount and necessary things that will satisfy our needs and not always the wants.

We should be responsible for everything here on earth and maintain it for the future users. I hope that the gold will turn to green.
