Hello friends in ecotrain Lovers,several areas in Indonesia from November to December still have high rainfall, one of which is the province of North Sumatra. High rainfall caused flooding in several areas. I observed several areas that are usually not flooded, but this year they did. After I looked carefully, it turned out that several areas that were originally agricultural land, this year have turned into housing. rainwater that should be able to flow into the rice fields cannot flow, because the rainwater flow is blocked by housing. Several of my neighbors also complained that rain water had entered their yard. I am grateful because water does not enter my yard and also my house. I have predicted that rainfall will remain high until next year, global climate change due to global warming also affects rainfall. We can't turn on other people because of global warming, this is our shared responsibility. we must be able to green the earth to overcome various climate problems, because a green earth with various plants can reduce extreme climate change. What have I done to help tackle global warming?
1.Planting ginger, turmeric and curcuma.
It may sound trivial, but by growing plants I have contributed to producing oxygen around where I live. Plant roots quickly absorb rainwater, thereby reducing the discharge of rainwater on the soil surface. I plant various herbs, this will help my neighbors and friends who need herbs. The herbal plants that I grow a lot are ginger, turmeric and Curcuma.
2.Familiarize children with gardening.
Apart from herbal plants, I also plant fruit trees such as coconut and rambutan. I always invite my children to do gardening, so that children get used to liking plants and loving nature that is green. Since the children were small, I have reminded children the importance of planting trees for their future life. I even told them that one day our earth will be hit by a heatwave from the sun and it will be difficult for us to get food. We must be able to plant a variety of plants that are useful for everyday life. Floods will also prevent farmers from harvesting crops and the price of necessities will soar. Therefore, we must be independent, not completely dependent on other people. Even though we don't have a large area of land, we have to use the existing land to meet our daily needs.
3.Learn to love the beauty of nature without destroying it.
Humans who like something beautiful and that is human nature. When we see beautiful flowers, birds chirping freely and other natural beauties, sometimes greed arises in us to be able to have all of this natural beauty. We must realize that if all humans do this then nature will be damaged more quickly without us realizing it.
4.Loving Nature is like loving Self.
The aging earth needs our help to rejuvenate itself. Why? because not all humans realize that the slightest action can help the earth to improve itself, a small example is disposing of trash in the space provided. Almost every day I see humans who are not friendly with nature, they throw their garbage into rivers or even into ditches, actions that seem trivial but have fatal consequences, when it rains the water cannot flow because it is clogged with garbage. Even though if we can love nature as we love ourselves then nature will also love us, this is the law of cause and effect.
Those are some small I can do to help the earth from global warming. Thank you friends who have read my post.
Best Regards
