Earth Day

Earth Day falls on 22nd of April and it is a very important occasion for our school which possesses environment conscious and green motto. All of us were concerned about this event and the school had further publicize the importance of being environment conscious to the whole school on this special day.

Early in the morning, Mdm. Angela Tan had talked about the purpose of celebrating Earth Day and the ways which the school had contributed to help in protecting the earth as well as what we can do to help as an individual. Two upper sec students had presented a powerpoint which showed the importance of protecting our earth and the consequences caused if we failed to do so.

The powerpoint had urged all of us to do our part in protecting our earth and make it a better place to live. It had also showed some shocking pictures which conveyed the consequeces that we had caused currently by our daily activities. The pictures showed people slaugtering poultry. From the powerpoint, I had learnt that killing poultry is actually damaging the earth's ecosystem. The pictures also urged the public to be vegetarian so as to help in protecting the earth.

I had also realised that human's daily activities had actually contributed to the damage of the earth. We may not consider it or think of it as a problem, but since we were being told, we should start to take note from now and try to avoid all these. We have the responsibility to maintain the earth and protect it as it is duty as a human being.
Earth Day is a special occasion when the whole world celebrate the earth that we live on. I am glad that I can live in such a beautiful and magnificent planet!
