Changing Times

            One day, I have heard somebody asked, is there a chance? Can Mother Earth still be saved? I simply said, I do not know, but if people will start to live up on the virtue of self-discipline and teamwork, maybe there is a better future. If everybody would put in their minds that trash cans are invented not for display, but rather for something of good use, maybe there is a chance. If companies invest more on air, solid and water waste treatment, maybe there is a chance. If people would stop to think that good life is only in the Metro, maybe there is a chance. If people would care enough to give the homeless, or the illegal residence by the bridges a good place to live, maybe there is a chance. If each person who owns various transportations mean, be it a car, trucks, jeepneys, etc., think more of the future rather than how to to be rich*, maybe there is a chance.

            If people will not only think of earth on days like March 28, 200, an event started by Earth Hour, but rather support the organization each and every day, maybe, there is a chance.

            Let us all make Mother Earth part of our family, part of our dreams, and part of our future plans.

* Come to think of a future wherein you have the money, but you cannot go out of your house because if you do so, you’d be dead because of the radiation from the sun, will you ever be able to enjoy all the fruits of your labor?
