         Food, clothing, and shelter. These are some of the basic needs that we need to survive. But how can we aim these basic needs if there are problems that trap us through the right path?

         

Our country faces so many problems, especially environmental problems. Last October 15, hundreds of people died and were buried alive due to a magnitude 7.2 earthquake in Bohol. Thousands of people also died and still not found because of the super typhoon Yolanda that hit Visayas. Millions of properties were destroyed and taken by these calamities.

          Climate change.    It is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of weather around the average conditions.

          Yes. We may say that it’s because of climate change. But, isn’t it that it is our fault why this climate change is happening? Climate change is caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions. Certain human activities have also been identified as significant causes of recent climate change, often referred to as "global warming".

          Our leaders are seeking solution how to cure theses problems and how to rebuild our country. especially those who were victims of calamities. They say that, “Prevention is better that cure.” But since some us were not thinking about what will happen next in our wrongdoings, we haven’t prevented it. Cure is the only way to solve our problem. But like when we cure our wounds, it will stay as a scar and will never be removed.
