Global Warming: An Idea for Prevention

By: Ms. Loma Isa Pangesti

Do you know about global warming? Global warming is the upgraded of temperature in the world. Since last 18th century, the temperature in the world rise from 0.4 – 0.8 degrees. And the geologists guess that temperature in the world rise from 1.4 – 5.8 degrees. Global warming can damaged the ecosystem in the world. Peoples, animals, and plants can’t adaptation in the fast different climate.

Global warming happened because the people’s activity. The activity for example: burning from vehicle, factory, electric power station, etc. This burning can produce carbon dioxide. The trees and plants have function to intimate the carbon dioxide, but the opening land with felling of trees can add the carbon dioxide in the world and the carbon dioxide can’t be intimate. So, the world experiences rise of temperature.

How can you put a limit on learning more? The next section may contain that one little bit of wisdom that changes everything.

Global warming can evoke the life in the sea damaged. The coral will damage. You must thought, when you swimming in under the sea, you not found coral and fish there. Scary!! Global warming also can difference the nature, disturb the weather, rise of sea surface, and disturb the health of peoples, animals, or plants. Global warming also can difference the harvest crop. Global warming can difference the harvest time because global warming make the season come more beginning, so, can make difference the harvest crop.

We can limit the global warming with judgment the refined fuel oil or the electricity. We can difference the electricity with wind power. We can use the wind to make electricity. If we pair the spool in agricultural field, beach, or in open field, in fact the spool can turning. So, we can make electricity with wind power. We also can make electricity with water power. Indonesia are archipelago state, if we can use the water power, we can judgment the refined fuel oil. We also can use the sun power. If every house in Indonesia can take the sunlight and make that to be electricity, the daily activity can complete.

I have 2 creative solutions to limit the global warming. First, we must limit the use of tissue. You know that tissue make from stem of tree. When you sweat, you take the tissue to rub your sweat. More than 1000 trees falling to rub your sweat. So, if you limit the use of tissue, you can limit the falling trees, and you can save the earth.

The second solution is limiting the use of plastic bag. DROP THE PLASTIC BAG!! The production of plastic bag needs a big energy. Beside that, the production of plastic bag can make rise of emission in the world. If you buy something in the shop, don’t use the plastic bag. You also can’t use paper bag, because paper also product from tree. So, the solution is cloth bag, besides durable, cloth bag also can cycle and used again. So, why you don’t change your plastic or paper bag to cloth bag now??

I think through a world or global network, we can make these prevention efforts. Education is the key to start the movement. I think we must add it to our national geography lesson plans.

Now might be a good time to write down the main points covered above. The act of putting it down on paper will help you remember what's important about Global Warming.
