The earth is our home, our mother and our indispensable support. So we should cherish the earth and cherish every resource of the earth.
Think about the earth before, so beautiful and rich. Like her mother, she constantly provides various resources for human survival. At present, natural disasters such as hurricanes, snowstorms, floods, etc. Pollution caused by improper environmental protection is everywhere ... bringing endless pain and loss to people all over the world.
I remember reading an article describing Saite Caidas Falls. It turned out to be so magnificent that the raging river roared down the cliff, spewing out and rushing thousands of miles. It was once the pride of the people of Brazil and Paraguay. Now, it withered and withered, just like a dying old man. Soon, it will disappear completely. The recent severe drought in southwest China is even more shocking. "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world", but now most of the riverbed of the Lijiang River has been exposed, and the beautiful scenery of the past has long since ceased to exist. Similarly, Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou has shrunk to about a quarter of the same period last year; Due to drought and water shortage, all crops such as wheat and corn have been harvested in a town in Mile County, Yunnan Province, and people will face the danger of food shortage; Even, in the disaster area of Yunnan, a ton of river water has been sold to 50 yuan.
After reading these, I was deeply shocked. It is not only the sorrow of the people in the disaster area, but also the contempt for human selfishness. Think about it, people are desperate to cut down trees for their own interests, causing a lot of soil erosion on the earth. For example, in order to obtain wood and expand cultivated land, some countries in Asia destroy and clear forests. In the short period of 20 years from 1970 to 1990, the forest area in India has decreased by 40%, which led to the intensification of floods and droughts in India. Since the 1940s, African forests have been cut down by nearly 50%. With the continuous reduction of forests, the continuous spread of deserts and the ravages of drought, hundreds of millions of people in Africa are threatened by hunger and water shortage. The tropical rain forest of Amazon River in South America, the largest basin in the world, is called "the treasure house of mankind". The Amazon River and its drainage area exceed 7.05 million square kilometers. Now, the area of tropical rain forest is decreasing sharply. Once the tropical rain forest in Amazon basin is destroyed, it will make mankind face great disaster. Many resources needed by human beings could have been regenerated and contributed to human beings for a long time, but ruthless human beings destroyed them, causing a series of ecological disasters.
Finally, the harsh facts awakened people's conscience to protect the earth. People began to take action to protect our beautiful mother earth, increase green vegetation as much as possible and reduce deforestation. All countries recognize the importance of environmental protection, and the 2009 Copenhagen World Climate Conference fully reflected this knowledge of environmental protection.
Here, I appeal, let's work together, love our mother earth from scratch, refuse pollution, protect the ecological environment, make the land from barren to rich, make the beautiful scenery of the earth reappear, and make human beings no longer suffer and suffer!
