ACID RAIN

Acid Rain damages a lot. It damages farm crops, furniture, rooftops, statues and may be harmful to living things. It could damage our skin. Of course, it is acid and everything it touches is like it is being melted. It brings many damages to things outside. If it is inside buildings or houses, it is safe. For example, the rooftop of houses becomes rusted. The statues become damaged. Most especially, many farm crops or root crops our damaged. It brings severe damage to the financial status of people. Many amounts will be lost because of acid rain. It could not be prevented but caution will be better.

STREET FOODS

Street foods can be seen anywhere. Although it is the nearest place that we can run when we are really hungry, it is not safe. This is where we can different kinds of sickness which are transferred through ingestion. When we eat foods in the street, sometimes we are not sure if it is clean or not. When the foods are sold on the sidewalk, sometimes, the dust or smokes coming from the vehicles are flown to the food. We are also not sure if the utensils they use are clean or not. When there is a sauce, sometimes people are not contented with one dip. After biting their food, they still dip it again which may leave bacteria to the sauce. For example, if a person having hepatitis eats there and dips the food he is eating again and again, the virus will be left to the sauce. When the next person dips there, his food will be contaminated and the person will get hepatitis already. We should always take good care of ourselves. We should always make sure that the food we eat is clean and safe. It is better to buy foods with high price but clean rather than cheap foods and pay a high price for hospitalization.

FISHING

Fishing is one source of income of people near the sea. They catch different sea foods and it serves as their food or as their source of income. They sell it to people or to the market. But some fishermen use bad ways of fishing. They use dynamites which kill lots of fishes and damages the coral reefs which serve as the fishes’ home. Some use fine nets and the small fishes are also included in the catch even though it shouldn’t be. We should help promote the good fishing ways. If fishermen will use the bad ways, at the end, there will be hardly anything to catch. They might be no more left or the fishes will transfer to a different place. If they feel disturbed in the place, they will leave it and transfer to a place where they are comfortable. We should follow the proper way of fishing. We should also take care of the fishes. We could even make our own coral reef under the sea so that they may have a place to stay.

Wild Life

Our wildlife is very rich in animals. But some hunters kill them because of enjoyment or for selling. They hunt for animals because they use hunting as their leisure and then, the hunted animal is eaten. They also hunt for selling, after catching the animal, they sell it because they need the parts. Animals in the zoo belong to the wildlife. They should not be locked up in cages. They should be free in the wildlife. There are animals which should stay in the wildlife because it is where they live and their way of living is connected to it. They should bet set free in the wildlife. It is better for them than being confined in a cage. They eat food that they may find in the wildlife or they may be fed by the caretakers of wildlife. We should protect our wildlife.

Ultraviolet Rays

Ultraviolet Rays or UV Rays comes from the sun’s light. It is very harmful to humans. Because of this UV Rays, our skin becomes sunburned. It happens when it is very hot during summer but sometimes, even in regular days, we experience sunburn. Sunburn is the burn in the skin caused by excessive heat brought by the sun or by the ultraviolet rays. Sunburn, when excessive may cause skin cancer. People who are always under the sun are prone to sunburn. To prevent from having sunburn, put sun block or lotion. If you are staying too long under the sun, it’s better to wear cotton loose long sleeves as clothing. Choose the clothing which is breathable. UV Rays cannot be stopped or prevented but the effect it gives us can be prevented with proper care.

TREES

Trees are very precious to us. This is where we get our paper, materials, furniture, and most especially our house. Trees have lots of use. It could serve as our shade, our source of income and as a defense against storms and strong winds. But sad to say, there are lots of illegal loggers who cut trees without mercy. We should prevent this. We should take good care of the trees. It gives us many benefits. All people benefit from trees. If it will be cut, it should be replaced by a new one. If we take one tree, we should plant a new one for replacement. After years, it will also grow and the other generations will benefit from it. If it will not be replaced, it will lessen the source of many materials.
