Earth Day

By Ahmad Hussein from Nablus

Earth has been surrounded by many things. Each one has a different role.

Some people call it "Mother Earth."

This is a good name because it provides shelter and food for our survival. It seems like a mother taking care of her children.

Earth has been as a picture. When the person takes care of it, it will be beautiful. But, if it is put apart and forgotten, it will be torn and bad. That is what happening to Earth. When there is something wrong on it, it hurts the other parts.

Earth has always been a natural environment . But we have changed it to an un-natural one by what we are doing. Factories emissions, waste materials, polluted air, and dirty water. All of these menace the Earth life. But, the worst thing is that the demand for construction activities is going to damage the natural parts of it because the world population are growing very fast. And that is taking large amounts of natural areas to observe that demand. So, we have to know that although Earth is sturdy, it is also fragile.

Earth Day is signed on April 22, to make an appreciation for "Mother Earth" to help her keep her lustre. And what mankind can do is following good ways to keep her balance because everything depends on what she provides. That is what Earth Day is about.
