Concluding Sentence
Educated about the importance of loving the earth

4. The world now is in a critical situation. Disasters such as landslides , flash floods are a
common thing for people nowadays . These disasters are the after effects that we have to face.
Every one need to play a part to help the Mother Earth. Even the small deed can help make a big
charge to the world. These things can start at home. There are many ways that can be done at
home to help our Mother Earth.
These three ways can be practised at home to help our Mother Earth. First we can start
by planting trees, may they be big trees or small flowers, at home. The numbers of trees in
Malaysia are decreasing due to illegal logging and urbanisation. The declining number of trees
led to global warming, landslides and even the loss of habitat for flora and fauna. The trees play
a very important role in our life as they absorb carbon dioxide in the air. Carbon dioxide is then
used for photosynthesis. Trees also gave support to the earth to avoid landslides from accruing.
Even though it is just a single trees, we have actually play our role to the Mother Earth. Planting
trees also help make our earth look greener. By planting trees at home we get to save our earth
and also beautify our lawn. Planting Herbs can grow in weir indoors and are good for urban
gardens. Besides, gardening is a good hobby that can be shared as a bonding moment with
friends and family.
The second way is practicing 3R. (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle). Most at the thing that
we used can usually be reduce, reuse, and recycle. We need to be aware with what’s going
around us, these days. We can make habit to reduce the things we need or we consume, recycle
things to conserve our resources, collect old newspapers, books, magazines, used papers, bottles
(plastic and glass), and any other things that you could sell in junkyards. There is money in
garbage and at the same time we’re doing our part in the recycling process. We can recycle the
paper and newspaper, then reuse them into something useable. Materials like paper can be
recycled and be reused especially when printing paper for exercises and examination. We can
reduce the usage of plastics when shopping by bringing our own bags. We can use cloth bags at
the grocery store and for all our grocery needs .Store them in the trunk of your car so you always
have them on hand. We also can recycle gadgets and electronics such as sell to other person or
company which buys old electronic. Donate the gadgets to the most charities and give away to
family members, friends and whom they needed.

5. The third way is save energy at home. These days, it’s more of a win-win than ever to
save on energy. Every time you lower your utility bills, you put more money back in your bank
account. Lower bill means less energy consumed, these mean less harmful emissions released
into our environment. At home you can minimize phantom loads. It’s refers to the energy that an
appliance or electronic device consumes when it is not actually turned on. You can eliminate
phantom loads by unplugging appliances and electronics when you are not using them, or by
plugging them into a power strip, and turning the strip off when they are not in use. Another way
to save energy is use more energy –efficient appliances. If you are shopping for new appliances,
make sure to look for the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star label before making a
purchase. Energy star appliances use between 10 and 50 percent less energy and water than their
conventional counterparts. You also can save our energy at home by change our light bulbs.
One of the least expensive and most effective changes you can make in your home is replacing
your light bulbs. Some people are concerned because compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)
contain mercury, Energy Star says that compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) do not release any
mercury when in use, and actually reduce mercury emissions because they lessen the need for
electricity from power plants that emit mercury.
The fourth way is by using public transport to work. The statistics of cars in Malaysia are
increasing, these past years. The burning of fossil fuels from the cars is one of the main factors
for global warming and thinning of ozone layer. The cars contribute
the release of carbon monoxide to the air and disrupt to the ozone layer. The ozone layer helps
protect us from direct sunlight and ultraviolet ray. UV rays causes skin cancer and many more
harmful disease. Sharing transport or using public transport is a good practice to help the earth.
You can also save money from buying fuels for your car.
As a conclusion there are many ways that can be done by us to save our Mother Earth.
Our contribution to the earth’s is also for our benefits. Children should also be educated about
the importance of loving the earth.
