MANGROVE PLANTING

The picture is when I had to plant a mangrove and put a stick near it.

Nowadays, there are many issues about global warming and the effect of it for human. Because of those issues, people are now starting to take care of the environment. Some of the researchers are trying to change the fossil fuel with the relatively environmental friendly fuel. The government is also trying to reduce the risk of global warming by creating lots of program, such as planting many trees, 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle), limited electricity consumption, and many more. One of the other programs that they have is the mangrove planting.

Our school has ever joined many of the mangroves planting. One of them was the one located in Busem Wonorejo. On that day, the students had to come to school earlier. When we arrived in Busem Wonorejo, we had to first join the morning ceremony. After that, we could directly start the mangrove planting. However, we still had to wait for the boat to come since the mangroves were located along the river.

After waiting for the boat for some times, we then able to go to the mangroves land. At that place, we had to help the people there with the cleaning. As we all know, many people were throwing the trash in the river. All of those trashes were then put there and would be packed. The trash that had been packed would then be put in the landfill. Because of that, then we had to help the people with the trashes packaging. After finished, we had to then go back to the boat and went back home.

From this experience, I learn how to help the environment from dying. Many of us might think that the environment is very strong that it will also able to hold all of the trash that we throw. In fact, the environment also needs our help in order for it to survive. If the environment is not survived, it may cause lots of natural disaster, which may also affect our life. That is why we need to help the environment. Start that by doing small things, such as throwing the trash in the right place. Those may then help the environment to survive. Remember that a good environment may also make us to have a good life. Try to make a change and affect other people to also save the earth. If not us that start the change, then who else will do?
