All of us know that there were lots of catastrophes and calamities happened in our world. Many lives were killed and many properties were destroyed but still people didn't lose hope. They tried to stand up and create a new a life again. Behind these happenings, there are many explanations and reasons why happened. We people, also have faults why these calamities occurred.
Just like here in the Philippines, Filipino have lots of business that affects the environment. Activities that have bad effects to us especially to the nature like mining minerals,cutting trees,usage of chemicals and the manufacturing companies. These are some of the reasons why we experience climate change, global warming, different kinds of pollution and calamities. So we just can't blame the nature because, also we have our own faults.
One of the known calamities in our country is typhoon. Typhoon causes the land to erode that creates landslides. It's because of the strong winds and rainfalls it brings. Why it happened? Trees are cut down by illegal loggers and its number is rapidly decreasing. That's why there are only few trees that would help sip the water in order to prevent land erosion. The effects? Many lives were killed and lots of were ruined.
Another example is earthquake. Earthquake is the shaking cause by seismic waves that can cause damage buildings or causes buildings to collapse. It also causes landslide that is triggered by earthquakes, liquefaction that can cause other problems as the soil loses its ability to resist shear and flows mud like quick sand and tsunamis which are frequently confused with tidal waves.
These are just some of the effects of human activities that have bad effects to our environment. Hoping that one day, people would realize that it is time to change our bad habits and help nature to be more useful and love our nature as much as we love ourselves.
