Fact: According to statistics, the transportation sector is the source of almost 30% of the greenhouse gas emissions particularly due to the burning of fossils and coal for cars, planes, ships and generation of electricity.
Today marks another chance of change
Each new day holds new opportunities to become a better person
To evolve and reduce our carbon footprint
As the earth breathes its last breath
It’s our constant reminder that we must change
Due to our selfish ways and inability to compromise,
Oceans have become bins,
Most of our favourite animals in children’s books
Will soon be fiction.
All the beautiful daisies and roses have been withered.
The farmers have been struggling
Longing for rains to save their dried up crops
With nothing being done statistics prove by 2050
All the animals we hold dear to our hearts will be
Gone!
The same creatures that survived the ice age,
And earthquakes shan’t make it past humans.
Less than 3000 pandas still roam the earth,
Only a few lions are left in line
Day by day the giant white sharks continue to
Evolve into a myth
The white rhinos are now functionally extinct,
Gone for good.
The inspiration to some of our favorite classics is fading
Away!
Simba and Mufasa will soon be like they never existed!
But it’s not too late,
It’s never too late.
Benjamin Franklin once said “Attitude is one smaller
thing that makes a big difference.”
So if we can rehabilitate our minds,
Reform our attitudes
And become the better versions of ourselves,
We can slowly but surely reverse the damage.
And when you are about to give up,
Remember why you started
Remember the animals, the plants, the earth
And then by all means keep on moving.
