The photo shows a sheet from a comic calendar that I received many years ago. When I saw this page, I grinned because of the humor. The idea of balloon animals was creative but exaggerating. Looking at the very same page 12 years later, my grin disappeared. It reminded me many mass animal deaths that had been reported in 2011. Many familiar species are under critical threat of survival. And I can’t help wondering how many species extinct unknown every day.
The fate of the animal kingdom is getting worse over the years. This is a warning to humans. We are too busy in our daily life, exploiting the earth aggressively and are not sensitive enough to our surrounding. We overlook the negative impact of many changes and then feel shocked to hear reports about mass deaths in the animal kingdom. Terrible news broke out one after the other. Frankly, the alarm is on for a long while and tends to go on non-stop. We must forsake our passive or “not-my-business” attitude and take constructive actions to save other species on earth.
Don’t think animal preservation should be done by experts only. Humans at all ages can make contributions to improve the fate of the animal kingdom. Let’s start to protect the environment with a list of feasible measures to join in the saving force.
1) Do not pollute the air, water and soil.
2) Replace plastic bags with environmental bag that can be reused many times.
3) Recycle the plastic, paper, tin can and glass.
4) Recycle the residue of meals to minimize the refuse.
5) Cut the use of disposable items such as paper dish and cups, drinking stalks.
6) Write in both sides of a piece of paper.
7) Use hand towel rather than tissue to dry your hands.
8) Share with others, or donate seldom used / no longer used or never used items to the charity organization to extend the lifespan of those items.
9) Don’t buy excess and let the things seat idle or deteriorate.
10) Share usage rather than buy new ones, for example, books and toys.
11) Don’t buy new cell phones, appliances to keep up with the trends and create a lot of refuses.
12) Try to fix the appliances rather than buy new one.
13) Change the use of an item to extend its lifespan. For example, make a bag from your worn blue jean.
14) Report any pollution discovered to the government for a quick cleanup.
15) Do dispose refuses to the countryside, mountains and lakes and report any illegal disposal.
Individuals can help in many aspects and the collective force will make significant changes. So, no more delays but get started to change our habits in daily life to cast a better future to the animal kingdom.
