I take care of the planet and you? Contest

Introduction

Good day great people of Steemit Community! This week has been a serious engagement week, it has made so many of us go back to research to know somethings we knew and had forgotten and equally know somethings we do not know before. I sincerely want to appreciate the management of this great platform for taking out their time to organize this great contest.

In my days in college we were meant to understand that the universe is made of nine planets, we learnt that these planets revolves around the sun in their orbit. In the whole nine planets we were meant to understand that the Earth is the only planets that has life in it, the other planets doesn't support life. And this life is tired to the abundance of Oxygen that is around the planets Earth. For one to travel to other planets that is not the Earth one need to make provision for abundance Oxygen if not he may not come back alive.

The reason we found ourselves in this Earth is because it this planet that supports the existence of our lives. One thing I want to us to know is that this Earth doesn't have the ability to take care of itself it is the duty of the inhabitants of the Earth to see to the well being of the Earth.

What can be done to preserve the Planet Earth

There are several things we can do to ensure that the Earth and the life it supports is preserved, and one of the many things we should invest our time on is Afforestation and Reforestation. Afforestation is the culture of creating forest where non existed before while Reforestation is the culture of replanting trees in places where they have been cut down.

Trees are very important for some many activities which have led so many people to pull down serveral of them. Tree cutting has been a serious activities in recent years because most of the things we use are made from trees such as Tissues, books and so on. Land is regularly cleared for development and trees are equally cut down for cooking fuels. These cut down doesn't just affect the trees alone, but the plants, animals and insect in that Ecosystem is seriously affected and equally the soil is left bare and whenever there is rainfall these soil are carried into our Rivers and stream which pollutes our water and equally affect the lives of the animals that would consume the water.

In regulating Global climate, forest plays a very key role. Most of the Carbon dioxide gases released in the atmosphere are collected by the forest which in return gives back Oxygen to the atmosphere which one of the most important gas man need for survival. If these forests are destroyed and but down the amount of Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas in the atmosphere would be too much and the effect would be something dangerous..

Am encouraging us to take Afforestation and Reforestation scheme very seriously in our different environment to be able to sustain our planet.

Make tree planting your hobby....

What I have done to preserve my planets

When I was serving as a Corper in my Country I was part of a Community Development Service Group that majored on Environment Sanitation and Sensitization.

Our work is to go around our community in Taraba State Nigeria to sensitive the people on the benefits of keeping their surrounding clean and to equally teach them the importance of clearing out drainage channels to allow easy flow of water during raining season in other to avoid Erosion.

Most times we teach them by showing them how these things are done by doing it ourselves.

One of the things we were supposed to do during our time was to plant trees, but we were unable to achieve it because so many situations on ground.

Conclusion

There are other things that we can do around our environment to equally contribute to the preservation of our planet. If you can't plant trees you can equally plant flowers around your compound to help preserve our planet.

Thank for your time here.......
