			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Imagine what life would be without the sun’s heat and light. Almost all natural forms of life need the sun to grow and to live. Trees and plants need the sun to perform photosynthesis. Humans need it, too to keep their body warm. It is going to be impossible to live without the sun. Sun therefore, is very crucial for living.</p>
<p>Sufficient hot temperature is just what people need. However, if temperature exceeds too much, problem may arise. Arid lands will begin to exist, drought will fall, and calamities will occur. As for the present, everybody is looking at the hottest side of global warming. The planet earth has been experiencing this environmental issue but it is only during the present period that it really made itself known to all.</p>
<p>The sun’s heat is what keeping the Earth’s temperature hot. What makes the temperature to increase are the other environmental factors and human activities. Too much human malpractices alone can cause global warming. If this happens, everyone must prepare themselves for environmental attacks.</p>
<p>Global warming is caused by the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere. Carbon dioxide does not only come from humans as they exhale. Excessive amount of carbon dioxide comes from industrial factories, from every house that uses appliances, and from the mountain of mixed biodegradable and non-biodegradable trash. When their number is summed up, they could emit a large percentage of carbon in a day, enough to worsen the Earth’s condition.<span id="more-33"></span></p>
<p>Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are the one responsible for greenhouse effect. This happens when the heat produced by these gases are trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere. This process is important to living organisms because they are able to receive enough heat. But if too much heat is trapped in the atmosphere, the earth receives the same amount of temperature increase and that is also equivalent to regular natural disasters.</p>
<p>In some environmental updates, global warming is causing the glaciers in North Pole to melt. If the ice turns to water, animals that live in that region are going to be in danger. Sea level will rise which may lead to extreme climate change. As the climate changes frequently, calamities are more likely to come.</p>
<p>Several lands that used to be luscious green are now turning into a lifeless arid spot. That is due to the extreme heat that kills the plants and dries the land. The surroundings are losing their beauty. All these things happen because of global warming.</p>
<p>It is not yet too late to lessen the impact of this warming issue, especially now that several people are doing their best to find some alternatives to the usual things that emits greenhouse gases used by most individuals. Bills that can also help the environment are being processed. By these simple steps, the Earth will hopefully cool down, leaving only enough amount of heat for everyone to live. There are also the nonstop tips and reminders for everyone made by both the government and NGOs that will also help in lessening the greenhouse gas emission.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Energy is what we use in dealing with our everyday life. We may not notice it too often but it is a reality. We use energy in eating our foods, in doing our everyday tasks, in running our vehicles, and even when we are asleep. We can in fact say that without energy we are nothing. This is due to the fact that according to science, energy is simply our ability to do work. There are various forms as well as sources of energy which are in existence for so long already. Unfortunately, some of these forms and sources seem to decrease as time passes by. Thus, we need to look for ways on how we can conserve energy so that we can still live wonderfully here on earth.</p>
<p>As human beings, we should be the one to do some actions on how we can conserve the energy. After all, it is us who will benefit the most from it. The following are 7 energy saving tips which we can consider in saving as well as conserving the energy:</p>
<p>1.    Use energy-saving compact fluorescent light bulbs instead of the conventional incandescent bulbs. This is because of the fact that the compact fluorescent light bulbs can last many times longer and are really efficient.</p>
<p>2.    Turn off the lights and appliances when not in use. We should avoid using the ‘standby’ mode as much as possible. This is due to the fact that even if our appliances are in the ‘standby’ mode, they still consume energy for about 25%.</p>
<p>3.    Make sure to run the washing machine and the dishwasher with a full load during either late in the evening or early in the morning. In doing so, we can definitely save water and energy. We should also try to air-dry our clothes and dishes instead of using dryer.</p>
<p>4.    Ensure an apt maintenance to the air conditioners. Maintaining properly our air conditioner can surely boost its efficiency.</p>
<p>5.    Look for the Star labels when buying appliances. The Star label indicates that a particular appliance is a certified energy efficient.</p>
<p>6.    Always make sure to fully close the door of the refrigerator. This is important because an open door of a refrigerator can easily consume energy. Furthermore, to certainly conserve energy, we have to think carefully if what we are going to take out in the refrigerator before opening it.</p>
<p>7.    Take fast showers instead of long baths. In this way, we can surely save water and energy.</p>
<p>Indeed, we can definitely conserve energy by simply putting into consideration the aforementioned 7 energy saving tips. The tips mentioned above are so simple that there is no reason for us not to put all those tips into action. After all, we should act now in conserving the energy before the time runs out because if we are just going to let time pass us by then, definitely we are going to suffer in the end.

<p>As mentioned above, it is really us who brought despair to our environment. Hence, it is also us who should bring back the original beauty of our environment. In point of fact, there are nine simple acts which we can put into consideration in order to save the environment and bring to life once again our dying environment. The nine simple acts are the following:</p>
<p>1.    Frequently defrost the freezer and the fridge.</p>
<p>2.    Recycle bottles, cans, glass, papers, and other materials that can still be used.</p>
<p>3.    Avoid buying things with Styrofoam.</p>
<p>4.    We should lessen our vehicle usage in order to reduce the carbons being emitted to the environment.</p>
<p>5.    Throw the trash on garbage cans. We should not litter to make our environment clean. In addition, we should not also throw our garbage in any bodies of water.</p>
<p>6.    Turn off the lights when leaving the house or no one is at home. There are times when we are used to leaving our homes with lights on. However, this is not a good thing to do. Hence, we always have to turn off the lights when we are leaving our homes.</p>
<p>7.    Make sure to fill with a full load the washing machine as well as the dish washer when in use. This is actually a simple act but can surely help us save electricity, water, and washing powder.</p>
<p>8.    Shut down all the appliances when not in use. It is somehow irrefutable that we are not using our appliances all at the same time. Thus, we have to make sure to shut down the other appliances which are not in use.</p>
<p>9.    Take out the mobile phones from the outlet once fully charged. This will not only save our dear environment but also will save the batteries of our mobile phones from being ruined.</p>
<p>Indeed, we have to be responsible enough in taking good care of our environment as well as we really have to do something to save the environment. After all, it is us humans who have caused our dear environment to reach its critical situation right now. Saving the environment is a serious matter and in fact sounds difficult. Nevertheless, we still have to do some actions like the nine simple acts mentioned above to somehow lessen the pain which our environment is enduring and suffering. Besides, it is also us, humans, who will be affected by the damage in our environment. Thus, we should not waste anymore time and act now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some environmentalists would say that the planet Earth is getting worse. Commoners don’t seem to mind this notion because they thought that they aren’t affected yet and their daily tasks are still doing fine. Anyway, it seems that they cannot do anything about it and they have no choice but to continue their activities even if they are risking the Earth’s welfare.</p>
<p>It has been a long time before most people become aware of what’s happening around them. If it was not because of the El Nino phenomenon that dries a good number of nations, and if it wasn’t because of the violent hurricanes that devastated a lot of properties and took away many innocent lives, people won’t ever think of their environmental problems.</p>
<p>However, awareness seems not to be enough to help the environment. Although it is a good thing that most of the individuals know the reason behind the different environmental phenomena, that alone is not making a big help because what is needed at this point is a thorough action. Everyone is not required to perform a major action. As simple as not using a dryer when drying clothes is already creating a huge leap towards a better surrounding.<br />
(NGO) Environmentalist groups never grew tired of sharing their knowledge and their discoveries through intensive researches to the people. These pieces of knowledge propose specific actions to help the environment. Various tips on how to alleviate the hot temperature that keeps on increasing every year are also being aired in almost all major television networks in different countries.</p>
<p>If there are individuals who ignore the current environmental situations, there are also some people who took the initiative to help the environment. A radical research has already been made, spread through different conference and even made into a documentary movie. The use of alternative renewable energy resources are being encouraged as well as its do-it-yourself installation right in anyone’s backyard has also been proposed.</p>
<p>To help the environment, it is significant that everybody takes their part in lessening the drastic effects of the hot temperature that gives way to climate change. Remember that excessively hot temperature invites more calamities. If people have not noticed, hurricane in the United States, earthquake in China, tsunami in Indonesia , and other threatening natural attacks started to happen when the issue of global warming emerged.</p>
<p>The Earth’s condition can still be put at ease if every individual will take their time in doing some simple measures to help the environment. When their simple and small actions are accumulated, it will turn out to be a major help for the surroundings. Cutting down the emission of carbon dioxide by means of using energy saving power appliances, segregating biodegradable from non-biodegradable, recycling, conserving water and energy, and using eco-friendly materials are some of the ways that anyone can practice to alleviate the current environmental situation.</p>
<p>It will be better if anyone will not hesitate to be aware and to take actions for the sake of the environment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of issues today are capturing the attention of many people. It seems that those issues are also their concern because they believe that they are being affected in some way. Political concern and economical problem are the two typical issues that everyone cares about. But there is also one issue that is also trying to make a noise so that it could be heard by everybody yet, it seems that it is not as important as these two. Environmental issues are oftentimes being taken for granted by most individual.</p>
<p>For years, all the nations in every part of the world are facing various environmental issues. The only problem is that it took so long before almost everyone has realized that they are also being affected by impact of the radical changes in the environment. They keep on cutting trees and digging and bombing all the mountains they thought have the potential of giving them gold. Fishermen are going beyond the use of nets and use dynamites instead. Fortunately, these man’s malpractices are being controlled somehow.</p>
<p>Since these environmental malpractices’ effect have been accumulated for years, and are still triggered by the present activities that contribute a good amount of carbon emission, global warming is getting on top of the list of the environmental issues. Due to global warming, calamities have a great chance of visiting whatever country they desire. The hot climate is its key to awaken these calamities. Thanks to the excessive carbon emission.</p>
<p>However, there are still a number of people who are concern with the planet where they live. They keep on spreading the awareness that ought to reach everyone and have them do their share in eliminating the causes of the threatening environmental issues. Cooling down the effect of global warming from time to time can give the Earth an opportunity to breathe and to heal itself.</p>
<p>Using the natural source of light and ventilation inside the house is one of the things that anyone can practice to prevent the emission of carbon dioxide, thus lessening the effect of global warming. This might be an easy step for you but it is a grandeur help for Mother Earth.</p>
<p>There are still other environmental issues that should be everyone’s concern. The polluted air that we breathe, the vast ocean that is at risk of getting contaminated, the animals that are getting endangered, and glaciers that are starting to melt are still on the queue of environmental threats. These are only made possible by the malpractices of men. Some tends to be abusive despite the benefits that nature provides them.</p>
<p>Environmental concerns will not reach every individual’s consciousness unless something wrong happens to these people. Or perhaps, environmental concerns will make them move if there is something that would motivate them. Who wouldn’t be, anyway? Good thing that there are some intellectual persons who are also sharing their discoveries that will not only save the surroundings but will make them save a hard-to-resist budget.</p>
