ENVIRONMENT
First, let me first explain the definition of
environment, environment is the natural world, as a whole or in particular
geographical area, especially effected by human activity.
As we can see, especially in Malaysia, our environment is
getting worse day by day. The air is no longer clean for us to breathe the
ocean is no longer clean for the sea habitat and the land also being polluted
by illegal activity. There are 3 types of pollution that are of growing concern
in Malaysia, air, water and noise pollution. All these pollution will doubt our
quality of life.
Air pollution is mainly caused by the toxic gas from
vehicles, open burning and factories. Transportation is an industry that
growing rapidly in Malaysia, in Kuala Lumpur obviously, people tend to use
motor vehicles every day to go to work and college. There will be a lot of
toxic gasses released from the motor vehicles and pollute the air environment.
Factories also release the same type of toxic gasses to the environment,
especially the manufacturing factories. As the demand for the manufactured
things increase, the air pollution also will increase. Open burning is happened
around us everyday without us noticing it, at the village area, people usually
burn down their rubbish or waste, and from that, it will effect the air
environment. As we breathing, we will inhale and exhale the air, and if the air
is polluted, it will cause many type of disease to us, such as asthma and chest
problems.
Next is water pollution. The sea habitat is badly
effected by the water pollution since they depend on the nutrients of the
water. It also will effect our source of sea food, and fisherman hard to find
their source of living. The water pollution caused by the waste that being
threw into the water by irresponsible factories. If the rivers affected by the
pollution, it also will affect our everyday drinking water and will cause us
serious health problems as water is important to our body.
Noise pollution is also a problem that we are facing
currently. Noise that made from heavy machine and vehicle can cause us bad
hearing and lead us to deaf problems. We being exposed to noise pollution every
single day, especially for those who live in urban area where there will be a
lot of road and building constructions. All these noises are actually killing
our peaceful and silence environment.
A lot of people start to worry and aware about all these
pollutions but the action taken is not as much as their worries. As the old
quote says ‘action speaks louder than words’. There are few things that we can
do to help the Mother Earth.
First, we can use the 3R steps, recycling, reducing and
reusing. We should prepare the recycle bins which separate the aluminium can,
plastic and paper. All these 3 things can be sent to recycle centre, so that
they can produce something good from it. We can also use our food leftover as
the fertilizer or seed to grow plants.
Next we can also practice living with the small amount of
water consumption, save water as much as we can. We cannot predict our future,
who knows we will run out of water supplies because of the water pollution. The
simple steps that we can take is don’t wash the dishes or do the laundry before
it full load and don’t let the water tap open while we brushing our teeth.
We can also save our environment by encouraging people to
ride bicycle to school or work since bicycle don’t release any type of toxic
gasses. In other hand, riding bicycle also can maintain our healthy lifestyle.
Use less of electricity power. The government have done a
good job by created ‘Earth Hour’ programme where we stop using the electricity
power for an hour including the light and television. This brilliant idea not
also help us to save our earth, it also can unite all of us to stand against
the pollution.
As the quote goes “precaution is better than cure”. We
should stick together to decrease the pollution and create a better future for
the next generations.
