I don’t think this is a question that we should ask Mother Nature. I tell you, if you ask this question to her, you would really wish you haven’t asked the question. Or even thought about it. What recently happened in Haiti and to the rest of the world only means one thing. Our planet is having a hard time of keeping up with the things that we’ve been doing to it. Right now, we are not just depleting our natural resources, we are also filling it up with our wastes. Wastes that came from acquiring things that we don’t really need and things that we get tired of in the long run which ends up in the sanitary landfill. Things like cell phones, mp3 players, clothes, shoes, cars and the likes. On cell phones alone, how many times have you changed your cell phone? Or better yet, how many cell phones do you have? Do you realize that multiple phones would mean you are using up more energy to sustain them? And the sad pary is, after a period of time, you throw it away once it’s broken or you grew tired of it or worse, because you don’t want to be left behind and always prefer a new model. I can think of several ways on how to save the Earth few of them are to stop our consumerism and let us let go of the notion that everything is disposable. Let us buy the things that we need not the things that we want. That way, manufacturers won’t have to make more than what is necessary. That way, we can control the use of our natural resources like our fossil fuels which would in turn lessen the production of the green house gases. How can Mother Nature do this to us again and again? Instead of asking this question, take this as a wake up call. The things that are happening now is a desperate call for help. Mother nature is not avenging against us, it’s crying out to us. Crying out to us for us to act. Act to change our ways else, she will be forced to fixed things her way. El Nino, floods, earthquakes? They’re nothing once the Earth shuts down. Remember the ice age? There will be a great possiblity to have that phenomenon if we don’t change. Let us try to restrain ourselves from wanting to have what’s more than what we need regardless if we can afford it or not. Let’s do our share. Donating money to organizations to help the needy during calamities is one thing. Doing our share to help reduce wastes is another.
