"We only have one earth to live in and we should take care of it. Like a mother takes care of her sick child." - RLM It is very sad to see people misuse and abuse the planet, especially those that litter around and cannot seem to put their trash it its proper place. Simple things we can contribute will help a lot in making our planet a liveable place for us and the future generations.
We have to consider others and the future generations in how we treat our environment and our planet. We should not only think of ourselves and what we have now. I believe that our ancestors made our planet a liveable place for us, and we should do the same for our family and others. Apparently, due to technological advancement, the misuse and abuse of our natural resources and improper care of pollutants, we failed to protect our only home. The good news is, it is never to late for us to correct our wrongdoings. We may still correctly act and protect our environment from getting destroyed. As a mother, I want my daughter to see, feel and experience the earth as we experienced it. Be able to swim in beaches, play with the animals and breathe a clean air. Unfortunately, my daughter started to have asthma at the age of 8 months. She's already 2 years and 5 months and has not outgrown it. I hope and pray that she will eventually outgrow it. Seeing your daughter not able to breathe properly is very heart breaking. And the simple cause of her asthma are the cigarette smoke and emission from vehicles. These things we could have avoided if other people will be sensitive enough. Government should be strict and limit smoking areas which should not be allowed in public places. Sin taxes should be tripled or even quadrupled to discourage consumers from purchasing them. Furthermore, emission testing should be strictly done. I have been to a couple of emission testing sites that really does not conduct the testing but takes a picture, pretending they did it. When we questioned why they are doing that, they said that the machine is broken and that our car seems to be in shape. This is very disappointing that you pay for a premium amount but you do not get the service you need. If this happened to us, what more with the jeepneys, trucks and buses who are willing to bribe just to get renewed and avoid the maintenance or changing car parts to have a cleaner emission. Let us all please be sensitive to the needs of our family, of our loved ones, and of the future generations. This earth is not our own. However, we should show compassion and treat is as our own. Love and respect mother earth, it's the only one we have.

With it comes to the environment, specially with climate change or global warming, both the rich and the poor are equally affected. This is why i agree with you that we all should do our part in taking care of the environment.
