“Threat to Ecological Crisis”

The threat to ecological crisis is no longer a probability but a certainly. Can something still be done? That’s the usual or common question that comes first in our minds. Every time that we heard anything about crisis --- what are we thinking about? What can we imagine when we heard that word? Are we proud? Happy? Disappointed? Depressed?

At my young age, I heard a lot about crisis. The most common crisis is the financial crisis. Every time I heard that before, I’ll just ignore it because for me, it’s just a simple and common issue. But as time goes by and as I understand the surroundings more, I know now that it’s not what I mean before. It’s a serious problem that people usually encountered during his or her existence. Once, I experienced having a financial crisis and that was really hard. You need to sacrifice just to make sure that your allowance would fit for that week because you’re afraid that your mother would not give you because there are still a lot of expenses that she needs to pay. The same as the ecological crisis, we are now losing our resources. We’re just wasting our natural resources for nonsense things. We are overusing it for our own sake not thinking about the harm it can bring us to our lives. The people now were very selfish and only know how to earn money. Always thinking about money and so forgot to think right. They will do anything just to earn money even if it can cause harm to us. Like, cutting trees in the forest without planting a new one. The major cause why there are flashfloods and landslides.

We as an individual, always use the environment and other resources there. And because of there are a lot people who are using this we are now undergoing a crisis. For me, we can still prevent and fight for this. If all of us knows the word self-disciplined and responsibility. One should have these characteristics so that we can prevent the crisis and so that we can cure it. It’s just self-discipline and knowledge on how to organize everything- our country would never ever suffer from crisis and there would be no more poor citizens of this nation.
