When I was a child, I had a phobia in the rain because I'd immediately hear the rumbling sounds of the rivers that surround the place. In my mind, there were many "what ifs." What if it'll flood, for sure only few of us are saved against the tremendous and mighty rivers that flow.
But for many years, the place is still okay and safe even there were strong calamities that passed by. Why?
Dear friends,
I don't like walking when raining in the city because the highways flood even pouring only an hour. Classes at all levels are canceled shortly for their safety and because the buildings at school are used as an evacuation center.
Flooding is very hassle. Seems like we are living in Noah times. But that Noah times and this era have a huge diversity. Today, we can see industrial wastes that float everywhere.
We human beings are the most powerful species, yet those powers are used mistakenly. Flooding is among of those scarier calamities caused by our environmental abuse. We've done antagonistic actions against our ecosystem. If we fight the forces of natural calamities, no one has to blame but us.
Our common mistake is the technological scraps that contaminate our air and water. Because of this reckless demeanor, we experience the confusing weather and conundrum disasters. These enigmas threat survival of human species in the next generation.
How to balance our ecosystem in some ways?
For us to know, pollutants danger that one layer in the atmosphere while the water contamination perils our health.
The Philippines is positioned in typhoon belt so that Filipinos continuously face storms. If we lived in this country, what can we notice in the market, pharmacies, and grocery stores? Surething, merchants invariably use plastic bins. It consequences a steady flooding in the nonheavy rain and why our ecosystem is imbalanced.
**I believe that the government has sufficient power to resolve this issue. The administration should designate an agency who controls the people that abuses our environment. How?
**
- Markets and stores should use eco-friendly bags.
- Stores that use eco-bags should be awarded and those factories and industries that still use plastics should be fined.
- The government should ban using plastics as bin except if the substance is liquid.
If all of us understand the problem of our environment and every individual participates, it creates a positive result to our ecosystem that makes our world a better place to live in.

There was a time here in Saudi where stores used paper bags but now they go back to the old times, using plastic bags
Here in Western Australia they have just voted to ban single use plastic bags in shopping centres. This is a small step in the right direction. In the world we need people like you to keep writing about environmental problems and also solutions. Thank you for your words and please keep the environmental message going.
Well explained!
I want this to happen also. I'll support you in advocating.. :)
This is a worldwide issue. Every time I come home from a supermarket and unpack purchases, I find myself in possession of a dozen disposable plastic bags. Fruits, vegetables, bread, sweets, household chemicals, clothes - all this is packed in plastic bags. But they are not recycled.
In the end, you get the dilemma: throw it away with the rest of the rubbish or accumulate them at home for possible reuse. This is a real problem.
There really should be an iron grip in implementing better garbage disposal and regular cleaning of sewers. The discipline and education starts in us.
As a kid, I fear the rumble of thunder because it literally shakes our house and you will find me under the bed cowering and covering my ears lol!
Polution of east south coast Asia became world problem... I am glad there lives people like you... believe in better tommorows... 🙏
