Last night together with my friends Oscar and Nino, we’ve watched a documentary film titled “An Inconvenient Truth” presented by Vice President Al Gore; courtesy of a friend Oscar. It is an inconvenient truth to know that my source of living, petrochemical manufacturing company that uses fossil fuel as a raw material to where I am employed, is a major contributor to global warming. It is an inconvenient truth to know that all industries in the world are dependent in the products of the so-called petrochemical manufacturing industries. Another contributor to global warming is the degradation of forests; trees and plants do help us a lot by absorbing the carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere; by cutting trees and plants we deprive our environment of another way to balance the abundance of carbon dioxide that makes the environment warmer. The film discussed a lot more factors contributing to global warming and consequences to people’s behavior towards the environment ever since.
Apart from merely watching and enjoying the film, I have been moved by the message it conveys. The film is an eye opener of the real situation of the mother earth. It is a challenge to all of us, those who can read and will reach this blog note to rise above the challenge. An individual act, however small, can contribute a lot to reduce the increasing trend of risk. We can start small by conserving natural resources and energy. We can start small by reducing our use of electricity, we can start small by using the water effectively and efficiently. I don’t have to specify how, but I’m sure, each one of us knows what shall we do.
As the situation calls for it, WE SHALL RISE ABOVE THE CHALLENGE, like any happenings in the world that tested the strength of the people and recovers and rise from it. God bless us all!
