Take Action
The recent heatwaves, flooding, and unexplained weather changes are a wake-up call to the need to do something about our environment.
The earth is experiencing a lot of pressure from technological advancement, industrialization, and population increase.
The overall effect is a lot of pressure on land, air, and water resources, which can only work at optimum levels.
Anything away from the norm is disastrous. It’s our duty to get out of our comfort zone and do anything within our means to save the planet earth.
What Can We Do
- Go Green
- Recycle non-degradable waste
- Save energy
- Opt for non-renewable energy sources
