When we talk about respecting things, we are talking about taking care of them as if they are your own. Most people take care of their own things, cars, homes, etc., but when it comes to taking care of the things of others, or things that we share with others, such as beaches, parks, or the environment, they lose some of their respect.
Many people take the attitude, “That’s someone else’s job.” But the job of taking care of our environment belongs to us all. You see, we’re all the “Owners” of the Earth!
There are many examples of disrespectful behaviour towards the environment, from littering, to dumping toxic chemicals into the waters of the globe, to global warming brought about by the use of certain refrigerants in our cars and refrigerators.
The problem is our world is being affected by the lack of respect for the environment. Fish in our rivers, lakes and sea are dying; there are toxic dumps where no one can go near. Everywhere we look we can see examples of man’s disrespectful behaviour to the environment.
How can we demonstrate respect for the environment? We can start with the simple things. Refrain from littering; pick up litter around your house and neighbourhood. If a fox gets into your bins and pulls your rubbish over the street…Clear it up!
Recycle aluminium cans, glass, plastic bottles and, oil from your car. Raise an organic garden; use composting, and solar energy devices. When you know of a non-polluting method to do something, use it!
If you desire, you can take even greater steps to respect the environment. You can join an organisation aimed at improving the environment, or donate money or time to rejects such as planting trees. Whatever you choose, remember respecting the environment is an investment for you and generations to follow.
